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

[Gandalf]

Hatton was knocked out by a fighter who was attuned to 147. Pac is only recently up from fighting at 130 pounds. There is a big disparity there. It went wrong for Hatton one time only, let's not forget that.

We are seeing completely different fights. You seem to have an idealised vision of how this is going to turn out. I struggle to see either man being unmarked by this, you say Pac will have more of everything, but have you not thought that Hatton firing back as hard as he does is going to make Pac become more cautious? I don't recall Manny being such a dazzler against Marquez. Barrera fought a very gunshy Manny last time out. And here is Manny all razzle, dazzle and shine, going to be popping Hatton from all angles!!?? I'm just not seeing it like that.

Not to say that I'm right, because it's boxing. But we will see.

Yeah, we will see...

But can anyone of you Hattonites tell Hatton that beating PAC, the current best boxer P4P, won't make him instantly as the new P4P no. 1 ?? I don't think Hatton is this dumb?? Please mates, do me some favor...

"Ricky Hatton says his greatest motivation when he faces Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd comes from the prospect of being crowned the world's best pound for pound boxer."

Yeah, I cringe when I hear that. Personally, I think he needs to beat Manny and then one more quality opponent to get that honour. He should stop saying it because he says it all the time now.

Actually that video link you posted a few days ago, that comes up P4P. And he says "I'ld like to think I would be P4P number 1 but it's upto the fans".

Yes, he did. I think that's what he truly thinks too. He knows beating Manny won't take him to number 1. He just keeps talking about the "P4P belt" for the sake of interviews and hype. But he has said it quite a lot.
