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.
