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

[XaduBoxer]

It's all getting very lively now that we only have a couple of weeks to go!

You can say that Kostya and Castillo were old, which is true. But let's not forget that Manny's biggest wins have come against older fighters who have been reaching the end too. Oscar and Morales were no spring chickens and had been in a lot of fights too. Oscar was a dead man at the weight. Hatton has been doing this for a long time against big fighters and walked through everything at 140. Pac has been in lower divisions and met his match in Morales and Marquez. If I recall correctly, Morales like Oscar, killed himself to make weight for that final fight. Shot and famished too.

The very fact that you are making a mockery of Mayweather, the most skilled fighter of our generation shows you up too. I can't stand Mayweather, but you have to admire what he can do, just from the boxing fan viewpoint.

Pac might have some fast hands and an awkward stance, but can Pac hit and move against Hatton for 12 without getting caught and roughed up? Of course he can't. Pac is not a big man, and he isn't a defensive wizard. Once the first big one lands, Pac will be having second thoughts and doing an awful lot of that making the sign of the cross business between rounds. Pac doesn't belong in this weight class and it's time for the delusion to stop. Pac is great at what he does, but he's out of his league with this one. There's no shame in losing though, as he will put up a valiant fight.

Tszyu and Castillo were older than Morales and Hoya...

PBF is a very good boxer, a very skilled one but he's not the type that terrorizing his opponents... PBF is happy to potshot his opponents to a UD win that makes his fights somewhat boring...

PAC been in different weight classes from 106 to 147 lbs... So far he didn't look being undersized (aside from Hoya) in any of those weight classes... PAC just fit in right... The same thing will be my expectation at 140, Hatton doesn't have a massive size advantage over PAC as what many Hattonites were banking on... Hatton bullying PAC is a situation you can't really rely on in this fight...

Hatton has bullied everyone at 140, it's where he has always been comfortable. Pac hasn't even fought there yet, we know what Hatton is like at 140, we don't have any idea how Pac will fare at this weight. If you want to base things on Diaz and Oscar then that's your call, but Diaz is a mediocre smaller man and the Oscar fight was just plain odd. And I know I keep on bringing it up but Marquez did a number on Manny at a far smaller weight not too long ago. But I know you don't like talking about that because you know deep down Marquez won. If Marquez can stop Manny in his tracks, you have to wonder if Manny has lost his marbles taking this fight because Hatton pressures much harder and hits a lot harder. You seem to be saying that Manny's speed will carry him through, but if Hatton has his timing down to a tee you can bet your bottom dollar Manny will taste the canvas at least once. Balance has never been Manny's strongest quality has it now?

PAC was not knockdown for how many years now and Hatton been knockout cold just 3 fights ago by a boxer not really known as a puncher... Go figure...

PAC being criticized for being out of balance sometimes in a fight, this resulted when PAC firing from odd angles to land his bombs on the enemy... This out of balance thing give more advantages to PAC than being a disadvantage... In this fight, I still expect PAC to have more movement, more angles, turning Hatton alot ('til Hatton gets dizzy ), firing whizzing, slashing punches... Hatton in dire straits...

then goodnight Richard...
