Hatton expecting to weigh 154lbs come fight night Vs Pac!!

[XaduBoxer]

Hatton maybe a very different animal than what PAC already faced in the past but PAC having 53 pro fights and 14 years in the business has mostly seen all the styles from one or the other of these 53 individual boxers... Hatton is also pretty experienced boxer and this fight may come down on who has more physical, mental and emotional advantages... This one I give to PAC...

PAC didn't enjoy this so much advantages in his recent big fights... Skills, varied offense, defense are all for PAC in my opinion... PAC with his speed, quickness, southpaw stance, boxing skills and athletic abilities will give all sorts of problems for Hatton...

I'm not worried at all for PAC in this fight... I was more worried going into the DelaHoya and Diaz fights...
.

You were more worried about David Diaz than you are about Hatton?? That speaks volumes. I admit that I thought the DLH fight was a concern. But when Manny weighs more than DLH it's obvious that something is amiss. Manny beat Diaz fair and square but that was to be expected. The Oscar fight was more spectacular, but he beat a shadow in there.

Now we will see what Manny does for the FIRST time outside of 130 pounds against a quality fighter still in his prime. You would be silly not to be worried. Hatton is a far sterner test than both of Pacs last two opponents.

Back in June last year, the fight infront of PAC is David Diaz, a tough LW champ with lots of heart and guts... There's no Hoya or Hatton or Cotto at that time... Since it will be PAC's first fight in a new weight division (135), I have that little worry on how PAC perform at this new weight... Then came Hoya at 147... Again a little worry on how PAC perform and takes shots from the giant Hoya as everybody gave the smaller PAC no chance at all to defeat the giant Hoya...

Now comes Hatton at 140... I already saw how PAC performed at 147 and I'm convinced that he still carries substantial speed and power at 147 to be effective. I'm just looking at PAC's performance alone without considering his opponent and the outcome of that fight... And to add, PAC been regularly sparring with middleweights and welterweights in his preparation for the Hoya fight...

So far for this Hatton fight, no worries at all mate (I dunno why )...

This is really what I felt before the Diaz fight, before the Hoya fight and now the Hatton fight... Anyway, this is only my own opinion mate...

The main advantage that Pac had over Oscar was that he had had a meal at some point in the week before the fight... Oscar looked like he'd been eating air... he probably didn't know whether to box Manny or eat him.

Whilst I do think that pacman is possibly p4p number one at the moment I also don't understand why people get so exited every time he beats a shop worn, weight drained mexican... Morales beat him when he still had a tiny bit of his spark left, gave him plenty to think about the second time out... did you see Morales in the third fight? The guy literally looked like a zombie skeleton. Barrera? I give Manny a bit of credit for the first fight... Barrera probably was past his peak but was still an elite fighter... the 2nd fight Barrera was like what? 6-7 years past hios best? Still went the distance. Oh and David Diaz? solid fighter but are people realy going to put Manny on a pedistal for beating David Diaz? Other than beating an over the hill Morales diaz hasn't really done that much else.

Giving him some credit for those wins is fine... he deserves it...
He's not a god though.
Manny is good... but he's not THAT good... jesus... get it in perspective.
1% chance?... :-/ lol
