Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?

[DatsiK]

another quote from Enzo Calzaghe:


"Haye has been foolish in choosing this fight," coach Calzaghe told the BBC's Sport Wales TV show. "He'll not just get beaten, he'll get battered.

"His only, single hope is a sucker punch, everyone can get lucky with one.

"But I hope he drops early, for his sake. If it's longer it'll be slaughter and I don't think Haye will box again."

Enzo is still upset at Haye for sparking his little friend out in 2 rounds.

I'm having second thoughts of this opinion that PAC might inflict the worst beating on Hatton...

It's very difficult to top what PBF did to Hatton, slamming Hatton to the ring post and knocking him out but if PAC cuts Hatton's face early and then slam Hatton face first to the canvass before round 9 ends then I think that will top what PBF did to Hatton...

I'm rooting for Pac. Once he disposes of Hatton, I think I've heard rumblings about a possible fight with Cotto. Wouldn't that be great?

PAC-Cotto is very possible... Cotto is contemplating of bolting out from TopRank (he's angry Arum is defending Margarito) so in order for TopRank to renew/sign-up Cotto again is to bait him with a $10M guaranteed purse Pacquiao fight in September or October (that's if PAC beats Hatton )...

I think Cotto is also interested in a Pacquiao fight, he started mentioning PAC's name as possible future opponent...

Pac VS Cotto......people are really getting carried away with the Oscar win. Cotto is a top Welter, young, skilled, fast with very decent power. The Hatton fight is a huge challenge in itself but some reckon it's gonna be a piece of piss for Manny. I say wait and see what happens with Hatton first.

Pacquiao Beats "one-dimensional" Hatton, Says Juan Diaz
By Mark Vester

Former lightweight champion Juan Diaz recently gave his thoughts on the outcome of the May 2 bout between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. Diaz doesn't think Hatton has what it takes, skill-wise, to beat the more polished Pavquiao. He feels Hatton's is a one-dimensional fighter and has a style that will play into Pacquiao's hands.


“It's gonna be two good guys facing against each other but I think Manny Pacquiao has improved as far as his boxing skills are concerned. The fact that Ricky Hatton is a one-dimensional fighter, he just comes forward a lot, I think Manny Pacquiao can expose that and beat him,” Diaz told Dennis Principe during his dzSR’s Sports Chat.

He said Pacquiao's power is well-known, but it's going to be his boxing skills that win him the fight.

“We all know that he has the power to knock a guy out and he did that from junior featherweight, feather weight all the way up to welterweight. I think his boxing skills is gonna take him over to win against Ricky Hatton,” Diaz said.

I wouldnt call the Dela Hoya a knockout win like i wouldnt call Hattons win over Paulie a knockout win, Dela Hoya quit because he couldnt offer any sort of answer to Pacs arsenal. Pac i think could stop Ricky but i honestly believe Pac is in for a rough night, Hatton is a strong fighter who imposes himself on fighters, people who come up with Pacs a natural 140 fighter i think talk nonsense, Hatton is the bigger stronger man and that will show come fight night when he enters the ring at around 152/153 lbs. But Pac is fast snappy and can throw quick punches which i think will be the telling factor, i also think the referee's handling of the fight will be a key factor.

But if i had to put my neck on the line id say Pac 10th rnd tko.

Here's my short analytic Prediction for this fight.

How the hell Hatton can close the Gap without taking bombs? Pac's arms are 5" longer than hatton. Pac has the better Jab... Ohh much better coz hatton actually was Virtually no Jab at all. On this fight Pac will use a lot of his Lead Left coz that punch will still be the longer & effective shot that hatton's Jab.

Now How can Hatton can close the Gap? His Jab won't help. hatton will use his head movement to get close to Pac. The Bad news ... Pac's footspeed is much Faster than Hatton. All Pac has to do is step Back & counter with Jab, Right Hook or lead left.

IN case Pac was caught in a Clinch, Pac was good in this situation. All you have to do is watch Pac-Velasquez. Pac can throw that Left uppercut hook even while Clinching. Pac also aware on what's coming & quick to move his head on one side to the other to avoid Punches during a Clinch.

The key in this fight is Pac's punch accuracy from the outside. Hatton's is way out of League in that Category. I see this fight going the way How Pac beat Lucero & David Diaz. Make Hatton miss then strafe him from the outside. We saw it in Pac's last 2 fights. He never let his opponent tie him up on the inside. Pac will have a Punch fest from the outside for this fight. Hatton's arms are way too short to Block Pac's avalanche of punches. Pac K0 rd 5.
