Anyone else man enough to make the same prediction for Hatton Pacman as me?

[DatsiK]

My boxing brain is telling me I have no fucking clue who is going to win this one... but my english heart is screaming Hatton will win it.

[leftylee]

Nope. Not one doubt in my mind Hatton is gonna smash this clown and bring his groupies back down to earth. Not one doubt at all.

Just for my enlightenment,since when did PACQUIAO become a clown

When he dressed like a French homosexual and started giggling like a schoolgirl during the staredown....

Yep, that's it. Seemed to be wearing a beret or something. Both fighters have strange tastes in head gear.

[Dizaster]

Yeah I really got no idea as well.. It's being a bit ignorant to say that either fighter has an advantage because of a certain quality they have.. Because they other has something that is equally dominant on the right night...

The only sort of prediction of made is that if it goes 12 rounds, I think Hatton just on work rate and coming forward would be enough to get the judges favour.. Pac is not as good counter puncher as Mayweather or like a cotto vs Margarito for the first 6 rounds... So if Hatton is in there for 12 rounds, he's going to make a lot of them count, and Pac won't be able to steal them back through combination of effective defence and counter punching... That being said though, that is a one track view of the result of the fight, and those 2 fighters in there for 12 single rounds could hold absolutely anything...

IMO both fighters are ready to take their respective hats off to the winner,after the fight.They seem to be good sports.We Filipinos have the utmost respect for the Englishmen.Tony Blair was a recent visitor in Manila.And boy,how he wowed the Filipinos..

I picked Manny to beat Oscar, I thought Hoya looked done in the Forbes fight, I picked Manny against Diaz as I thought Diaz was a champion but not the best and he is a bit slow and crude in his style, I like Manny and if he wasn't fighting Ricky I would be supporting him but in this fight I just think Hatton has the tools to do a proper job on him.

[Mar]

Either guy can win and that's what great about this fight. Hatton has come off of fighting floyd and paulie so manny's speed isn't gonna be as big a deal as most think. Manny did absolutly great against hoya but didn't really hurt him knock him down etc....with him being as drained and a shell of himself as being claimed i'm not sure how manny's power will play out either. Who knows is a good pick but if forced i'd go with hatton. The guy needs another vote with everyone making it seem in the media that the fight is already over.

[ono]

I've tentatively gone for Manny but i'm praying for a Hatton win. I won't even enjoy the fight, i get far too nervous. I'll enjoy watching the re-run should he win.

Part of me thinks he'll batter Hatton much the same way as he did Diaz, but part of me thinks Hatton is levels above Diaz and he will flatten Pacquaio.

Feck knows. It's a pick em. I can normally only really see one winner in a fight....but this one and to an extent the Froch - Taylor fight is tough to call.

[Deanrw]

My Prediction Is:

If Hatton comes out no holds barred, like the hatton of old, it's a 50-50 fight and he has a very big chance of winning.

If he comes out trying to fight cute like Floyd Sr is trying to teach him, he will get picked off and beaten up.

You cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Hatton has to use his strengths and his instincts to have a solid chance.

If he comes in thinking "defense", it means he is thinking to much and will not find any groove at all.
