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

[XaduBoxer]

you guys make me laugh - the fact that a journalist is even described as formidable then voids all other words past that point - article is then irrelevant.

What can you say about the 17 less formidable boxing experts who picked Pacquiao over Hatton?

link --> 17 experts pick Manny Pacquiao to defeat Ricky Hatton (The Neutral Corner) - Newsday.com

I'd probably say that they all picked Lacy to beat Calzaghe or hang on that they all picked ODLH to beat Pac - useless hacks

And what can you say about these 3 boxing experts (3 out of 20, 17 for PAC) who picked Hatton over PAC?

"The three experts who have selected Hatton are Steve Bunch (television commentator) by late-round stoppage; Mark Collings (Esquire UK) mid-to late-round stoppage and Stuart Brennan (Manchester Evening News), possibly late-round stoppage."

I'd say they are just as likely to be wrong as those who picked Pac.

What you wont find is me talking as if Hatton has already won the fight because some people have picked him to. All you Pac fans are treating every bit of pro Pacoganda as if it means the fight is won and that he's scoring points for opinions.

Fair play... I laughed at one guy here who suggested that Hatton should back out from the fight now...

What I presented in this thread are:

- IMO PAC will probably dish out the worst beating ever on Hatton
- Most people (boxing experts or otherwise) picked PAC to defeat Hatton
- Oddsmakers installed PAC as the 2 to 1 favorite over Hatton

It's all facts (except the first one of course)... and opinions...

Isn't it actually all just opinions...and not facts? .... even betting odds are opinions, the fight hasn't happened yet so I don't see how there can be any facts of the outcome! :P

Only fact is that Hatton and Pacquiao are going to fight...and Mayweather Snr. dresses like some over the hill pimp...

All I meant is that the many people that pick Pacquiao to win, that's their opinions, and the betting odds have been set by opinions. But I see what you're trying to say, fair enough

I don't think Hatton will be worried about being the underdog at all, for me it's still a tough fight to call no matter how many experts opinions and betting odds are against Ricky.

Sad to say...not with one of the very best hype men since PT Barnum at the helm ........Viva la monotony

Do you think Saddo Boxing forums should apply for a patent on the phrase...Will (Insert name here) inflict the worse beating on (Insert name here)?

Fair enough mate...

I guess Hatton was underdog in the PBF and Tszyu fights. He lost one and won one...

PAC was underdog in Hoya, Morales (2nd fight) and Barrera (1st fight). PAC won all 3 fights when he was the underdog...

Manny is at his best right now and he will make Hatton wish he didn't face the PACMAN.

Manny Pacquiao's Team Denies Rumors of a Leg Injury

Conditioning expert Alex Ariza has put to rest concerns over reports that Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao had suffered a leg injury, which prompted scores of calls including some from boxing fans overseas.


Ariza said “he has a little bit of a blister on his toe. It is no big deal.”
Pacquiao proved there was nothing wrong when he went seventeen rounds on the punch-mitts “non stop and without even a sip of water” enthused Ariza.


Ariza who has gotten used to the Pacquiao work ethic which he described as “phenomenal” said Monday at the Wild Card Gym was like “any other normal previous training day and went well.”
Besides the punch-mitts Pacquiao worked on the double-end bag, speed bag, jumped rope and did some more strength-training.
