Although I think Pac will probably win I think it will be a close fight and I certainly don't think it will be an ODLH performance from Pac.

I'm asking this question based on PAC's record of dishing the worst beating to great opponents like Barrera, JMM, Morales, DDiaz, DelaHoya, etc. So I'm thinking it's very possible Hatton will receive his worst beating ever at the hands of PAC...

Although I see Pac winning, I can't see it being more one-sided than the Mayweather defeat.
I agree completely. I really never thought much of Hatton until I watched the HBO specials for the countdown to the P.B.F. fight. He's a pretty humble,
ordinary guy, who's really accessible to his fans - something really uncommon in this day and age.
However, with this new 'trainer', an absolute simian, with the boxing I.Q. and general I.Q. of a retarded dog, I can't find out for the life of me what Hatton was thinking. Did the Mayweather K.O. do damage to Ricky's brain?
Unless Pac comes into this fight totally unprepared, I don't see Ricky making it past 5 rounds.
I remember I was out night before the fight (broadcasts over here at 4am obviously) and my mum's fella (who was out) had been sucked into the hype. Actually thought Hatton was going to knock him out. Bearing in mind his boxing knowledge is, lets say, limited, I corrected him and said Hatton was going to get knocked out. He refused to believe and even offered to bet me £50. I turned it down flat saying it really wasn't fair. He kept insisting, I kept turning it down until I got bored of him goading me into betting him so we shook on it.
Come 5am, Hatton is out in 2 and I am £50 richer. The look on his face was priceless. Didn't wanna take it but after all the noise he was making, it was only right I did. That's the only time I will ever get evens when betting on Pac Man.![]()
not so sure mate... when that fight was announced i thought fuck me Hatton is taking the piss fighting this little guy.
Hatton was a great body puncher and that to me was/is Manny's biggest weakness.
it was a mismatch IMHO when announced.... then by the time of the build up i really saw this as a lot closer than i first thought, it was a pick em for me before the bell rang but thought Manny's speed was the key.
hindsight is a great thing.... just ask the EX Jeff Lacy fans![]()
Well, I was expecting a prime hatton to show up.
Not an exhausted shadow of his former self.
I'm a big Hatton fan but I never fancied this. I had friends around for the fight, and I warned them Hatton would get murdered. I just didn't fancy he'd cope with an extremely fast southpaw. I said it'd be stopped within 5 rounds. Didn't think it would be as quick as it was though.
