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

[TitoFan]

I think Pac fans have been lulled into a false sense of security. He came up several divisions in weight... beat a shot DLH (who admittedly noone knew was THAT shot)... and now has his fans thinking big. Let's say he beats Hatton (unlikely, IMO). His fans will be lulled into an even higher false sense of security.

Come to think of it, in a way it reminds me of when Tito was moving from 147 to 154 to 160. His first fight at 160, he devastatingly KTFO'ed William Joppy, a highly recognized MW champion. Tito fans (myself included) started thinking PAST Hopkins (big mistake) and toward Roy Jones as an eventual huge fight for Tito. Well... we all came crashing down when it became apparent that Tito was out of his league against the best 160-pounders.

If Pac beats Hatton, he'll go looking for other big guys, and will eventually make the mistake of fighting a Cotto, a Mosley, or worse.

You're not seiing it right. DLH just lost a SD against PBF then suddenly call him shot coz Pac dominated him in every second of the rd. (You can honestly and with a straight face claim that Oscar was NOT shot? You're a bigger fool than I thought). Pac & PBF beat the same out of prime DLH. But Pac impresses more by the way he beat DLH.

Don't compare Tito to Pac. Pac Dominates a lot weight classes. Tito just at Welterweight & he can't even dominate it completely coz everybody knows he lost to DLH. (Once again, your ignorance of boxing shines through. Tito was champ at 3 weight divisions. But maybe 3 is too high for you to count). Maybe you're just overrating hatton coz he Just beat an Old Fighter in Tzu & Shot Castillo.

Pac has 29 years old MAB, EM & JMM aside from DLH in his Victim's lists. They maybe small but these are all HOF fighters. The DLH fight confirms Pac can handle Bigger size. So I don't know how could you guys can find excuses for Hatton. Pac will dominate & Stop Hatton!!! I've been saying this for years.

Don't be an idiot. Nobody's comparing anyone to anyone else. I was making a point regarding going up in weight and getting a false sense of security. And for your information, ignoramus, Tito not only dominated at welterweight... he also dominated at 154 and beat a well known champion at 160. So get your head out of Pac's ass long enough to think your thoughts all the way through. BTW, asswipe... you're one of those delusional Pac fans that give otherwise neutral fans the desire for Pac to lose.

Betting odds still growing in gap in favor of Pacquiao...

"Pacquiao is currently a -280 favorite and it’s tough to argue against those boxing odds; he has power, even against a bigger fighter, and the type of speed that has given Hatton lots of trouble in the past. Hatton will be hungry to avenge his last loss, but Pacquiao should be just as hungry, as many boxing betting sharps believe Mayweather Jr. will come out of retirement to fight Pacquiao should he win this bout. If you’re confident in Hatton’s training and mental game entering this fight, you could take a flier on him at +220, but the smart money is on Manny Pacquiao this Saturday."

You have to bet $280 on PAC in order to win $100... While a $100 bet on Hatton will win $220...

I’m prepared, ready to go – Pacquiao

LAS VEGAS — Holding court in his swanky suite at the 60th floor of The Hotel at Mandalay Bay moments after arriving here Monday night, Manny Pacquiao spoke the language of supreme confidence as he revs up for the biggest bout of his life – a crossroads clash with British banger Ricky Hatton – this weekend at the nearby MGM Grand.

“I have done my part in training and I will just make sure that I maintain this condition until the fight,” Pacquiao told Manila-based scribes. “I am prepared for whatever Hatton brings to the ring.”

It is common knowledge that Pacquiao loves opponents who rush inside but in the event Hatton decides to box from a distance – or even engage him in close quarters combat complete with roughhousing – the pound-for-pound king insists he is ready.

“The people know that my style is in-and-out fighting, waiting for the right time to deliver the power shots but I am also prepared to engage him at close range as I trained heavily for that kind of situation,” said Pacquiao.
It’s been anticipated that Hatton will not waste time in attempting to get his licks in as soon as possible but Pacquiao is optimistic that his quickness and overall skills will frustrate the Manchester native.

Still, Pacquiao politely declines to say at what stage of the fight he will pull the plug on Hatton’s bid.

“It’s hard to say and it’s not for me to say what will happen. Let’s just let our fists do all the talking,” said Pacquiao, who rode in his Lincoln Navigator with wife Jinkee in the 300-mile journey to Sin City from Hollywood.

Pacquiao completed his sparring session earlier in the day in Los Angeles, going four rounds with Uzbek Alisher Rahimov and David Rodela, to rack up 149 sparring rounds since he started banging bodies in the third week of March.

Pacquiao is a -270 favorite, while Hatton is +230, meaning a $270 bet on Pacquiao will win just $100, and a $100 wager on Hatton will win $230.
Meanwhile, formal arrival rites take place Tuesday at noon for Pacquiao at the Mandalay Bay, while Hatton will have his at the neighboring MGM Grand at 1:30 p.m.

The press conference will follow on Wednesday and Friday will be the official weighin.
