No way Ricky is winning the fight...

[Gandalf]

That is a very poorly written "article". Nobody here is thinking for a single minute that Hatton is being remolded into a slickster, it's going to be the same old pressure but with more jabbing, combinations and and head movement. It's taking what was good from before, but refining it so that Hatton doesn't take too many unneccessary hits.

Hatton has always been an exceptional attacking fighter, but one who was becoming more and more predictable, and unfortunately it all unravelled as he got to the biggest fight of his career. It resulted in Hatton smothering himself and being unable to get off meaningful telling blows when he had Mayweather in a position he wanted. Hatton had to change after that. Mayweather was great but you can't help but feel that Hatton would have done better with a different approach.

Anyway, this is Manny Pac and I think Hatton is doing the right thing this time out. Training in the states for 5 weeks, running up the mountains at altitude, it's come to the point where Hatton knows what is neccessary for him to fight in the states. We aren't hearing about chest infections, or needing to lose lots of weight, he isn't developing cold sores. Hatton is seemingly right where he needs to be. And Hatton at his best is going to be a lot for Manny to handle.

Bring it on!!!

I thought my Cotto-Clottey post was biased!! This one is just plain nauseating!

Hatton is not trying to turn himself into a boxer! Where in the world do you get that crap? Just because he hired Mayweather??

He wants to learn a few movements to add to his arsenal. Remember boxing is a game of inches. (or is that GOLF?? )

Listen, the original poster may indeed be right about his prediction, but what good is this brand new PAC thread, only saying Hatton is chopmeat and a carved-up turkey?

I hope Hatton surprises this poster and catches an overconfident PAC coming straight in with a good WALLOP!!!!!

Not only will ricky lose but he might get knocked out.

Last night on ESPN Teddy Atlas delivered the "KISS of DEATH".

As I watched with anticipation, the moment of truth was nigh.

Teddy Atlas was going to reveal who he was picking to win in the upcoming bout between Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao. All I could say is PLEASE DON'T PICK Manny Pacquiao! PLEASE DON'T PICK Manny Pacquiao!

And then suddenly,

Atlas uttered these words: "I am picking Ricky Hatton to win"

YES! I yelled and I jumped out of my chair.

I was so delighted!

Everyone knows that when Teddy Atlas makes a prediction for any major fight, he is 98% of the time completely wrong, not only does he get it wrong, the fighters he picks get humiliated.

Too bad for the Hatton fans.

Thank you Teddy Atlas for delivering that Kiss of Death live on national t.v.

Now I can drop some serious cash on Manny Pacquiao to win.
I am going to have to go out on a limb here and say that Hatton will be knocked out in the 5th.
98 % of my predictions are correct, do you want to know why? Go back and read my post again.

Winky Wright is a bum that is why he got it right.

Like I said, Teddy is 98% percent WRONG when it comes to picking a winner.

There is no way in HELL, ricky hatton beats Manny Pacquiao.
Hatton will be EXPOSED and everyone will know why Hatton has been hiding in the junior welter weight division all this time. This wont be a soft beating like the one he got from Mayweather Jr., no, this is going to be an onslaught assault and the worst beating Hatton has ever received. Hatton will most likely retire after this.

His fans can go on to sing.

THERE IS NO MORE RICKY HATTON!

NOW HE'S BUM, FAT AS A PLUMB

STUMBLING IN A DRUNKEN WONDERLAND!

If you base all your knowledge of boxing on simply going against what Atlas is thinking then perhaps you are the bum, eh? Not much of the critical thinker methinks.

Hatton has every chance of upsetting Manny Pac, and comments like yours only make more and more people want him to do so as well. How about acknowledging that Hatton is a very good fighter and is one that has been hovering around the PFP top 10 since beating Tszyu. He's a very good fighter and one that is likely to cause Manny a lot of problems. Now if you think this is improbable all because of what you hear from Atlas, then I suggest you go out and get some boxing knowledge of your own.

Manny is only human and he can be beaten like the rest of them.

Hatton has rode the KT express for the very last time. He beat KT 4 years ago. How long is this win going to keep him on the so called P4P list? What has Hatton done since beating KT? Hatton on May 2nd will be exposed. Will his fans continue to bring up KT forever? Hatton's fans are worse than Calzaghe's fans.

[Master]

There are no worse fans that Pac fans. Manny Pac is an amazing fighter but please get off his nuts and see the cold light of day. He will be crushed by Hatton. This is the real deal.

Maybe, but this is boxing and people know better than to rule out the other guy completely. Hatton has beaten everyone in front of him and only Mayweather handled him properly, and even then Hatton was in the fight up until the points deduction.

Hatton dominated Paulie far better than Cotto ever could, and nobody else came close to stopping Castillo in the manner Hatton did. Hatton is underrated, considering he is still there fighting for belts and beating people convincingly.
