Pac walks around @150 plus when his not working out. making him really a legit 140lb as stated by Roach. Hatton is more seasoned?? Don't think so, Manny has more fights under his belt than hatton has. Fought the best while climbing up in weight is a feat in itself. Fought 53 times in his career, more than money may, Dlh, or Hatton. Ktfo barrera morales marquez diaz, dlh and whats common about this is that he makes these fighter look old coz his just to damn good that people mistake them as past their prime, not really getting the fact that its just that manny is just too good. A freak of nature who carries power up to 147. So to say manny has no power at 140 would be really stupid to think. His a seasoned veteran with now a skill set of a boxer and a brawler to boot. So I ask you this.You think Hatton can win? He can out of pure luck. But facts tells the whole story skill goes for pac. speed goes for pac. Power I believe is equall. ring general ship goes for pac. And based on body type their almost identical. But what people forgot to see manny has the bigger wrist by an inch which is big in finding a true puncher. Which trainers know is a mark of true puncher. Bigger wrist bigger punching output. The reach 2inch longer for pacman. So you guys get the point. Facts don't lie. Ricky is the underdog here. Accept the facts.
First of all he battered a Barrera that was struggling to make weight, he certainly didn't dominate Barrera that way second time around when Barrera had lost quite a bit of his old ability. Secondly the first fight with Morales he got owned and then Morales started to slip and finally Oscar was definitley on the slide. He looked poor against former contender star Steve Forbes which speaks for itself in his previous fight and taking nothing away from Pac he just didn't have the speed of old, and as Roach said Oscar CAN'T PULL THE TRIGGER ANYMORE. When did he KTFO of Marquez? The 1st round of the 1st fight was great for Pac but he didn't look good against Marquez again and IMO lost the second fight.

Hatton IS the naturally bigger man and though he aint as good as Oscar once was he's certainly better than he is now. Power defintley has to go to Hatton, and the body work Hatton has is way better than Pacs, though speed and skill def go to Pac.

With these thing's in mind I think it is a 50/50 fight and I'm still struggling to come up with a winner. It all for me depends on whether Hatton can slow him down with body shots, but mark my words this will not end like Hatton Mayweather did. Hatton was a big underdog for that fight and Pac for all his greatness is not Mayweather!
