Pacquiao beating Hatton...I just don't see it

[James_Teja]

Hatton's only advantage is the size (eventhough Pac is taller and has 3" reach advantage). And I don't think Hatton is stronger than Pac, maybe he was 2 years ago, but not anymore.

The bigger Pac's opponents are, the vunerable they'll get hit. In other words, THEY ARE EASY TARGET!

And oh! Hatton is terrible fighter against southpaws.

Are you saying Pacquiao has gotten stronger or that Hatton has gotten weaker? I've definitely seen Pacquiao bulk up a bit, but Hatton hasn't gotten any weaker.

Well Hatton is a buracho. He's a drunk (not alcoholic, there's a difference) and he's gonna pay the price come May 2nd. Even Floyd Sr warned him many times about it. But yeah, he's gotten weaker and his face puffed up so easily in his last 2 fights. That's a sign of aging out of the sport - the DLH syndrome.

Floyd Sr kept saying Hatton will learn a lot from him?.. well guess what?.. YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG A NEW TRICK.

Hatton's not a dog, and he looked different against Paulie, he still came in his hands down, but he used more patience and showed better timing. Where is the evidence that he has gotten weaker? He muscled Mayweather, he muscled Paulie around and beat him worse than Cotto did. Hatton's face has always been puffy, thats the sign of you losing a lot of weight before a fight not the "Dela Hoya syndrome". As for the drinking there have been a few fighters like Monzon who have been alcoholics and still had long, successful careers.

Paulie is a joke. Pac doesn't fight like him. The only thing they have in common is they both have tough chin. Pac is 2x faster than Paulie, and a lot smarter than him too. Believe me when I say Hatton will get frustrated from Pac's constant head movement, in and out, lateral footwork, and the southpaw style. He'll spin Hatton around all night and will catch him with the left bomb. Monzon primarily used his boxing skill, not mainly his strenght that made him a great fighter.
