Hatton - Pacman - Who gets the most Credit for the win?

[RP33]

I think the fact that Pac just beat DLH at a higher weight than he is fighting now, throws the "well Pac went up in weight for this fight" excuse out the door..

If Hatton wins, i give him full credit, as Pac proved he has brought his power with him up in weight..

With that said, if Hatton wins, there will be many Pac fans saying that Pac was too small for Ricky..

Does Ricky rate above Pac on the p4p chart after this? That's tough.. i'm going to say no, that he would need to beat another top dog to have that status..

I will have a hard time watching this fight, as i want Ricky to win, but i want Pac to win so that Floyd comes out and fights him..

I think it depends what side of the fence you're on and who you think will have the tougher challenge in store for them. In regards to the general boxing world, I think Ricky might just get a little more credit if he wins than if Manny wins. Hatton seems to slowly be becoming the underdog, or maybe I've just read too many of Saddoboxer's posts

I want Ricky to win, and even with a very fast and clever opponent/trainer in front of him, I think he can do it.

It's gonna be a crackin' fight and only...11 ish days away!

Can't wait to hear Floyd Snr's post fight poem

I said a long time ago that a lot of 'lighter' fighters are under-nourished....not 3rd world style or anything like that, just under-nourished in the sense that they're not taking on enough nutrients to fully support the workload that comes with being a top ranked fighter - training etc...

I argued that once this fighter starts eating enough macronutrients to support the workload that not only will he move up in weight - naturally, but he will also become a better fighter as once the nutrition side of things is taken care of, the training intensity will go up and ultimately in the ring performances will benefit.

I think this is the case with Manny and i thought it even before he beat Diaz and Oscar. Did Oscar and Diaz make him look that good or is Pac really really comfortable anywhere between 130-147? I guess that's why this fight is so intriguing.
