Ricky Hatton v Manny Pacquiao: What they say, who wins, and why...

Ricky Hatton v Manny Pacquiao: What they say, who wins, and why... - Telegraph

Past and present boxers and those in the know predict outcome of Ricky Hatton's super-fight against Manny Pacquiao.

JOSE SULAIMAN - WBC President:

Hatton's style may give Pacquiao problems, but Pacquiao is the better boxer and should win. Hatton 0, Pacquiao 1

DAVID HAYE - Heavyweight title contender & former cruiserweight world champion:

Hatton has taken his career to new heights with his new trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr and a more professional, healthy approach to living between fights. Hatton wins a very close, hard-fought decision. He may have to get off the floor but he will find a way to win. Hatton 1, Pacquiao 1

OSCAR DE LA HOYA - Former six-weight world champion:

Ricky has the X-factor in his style to beat Manny; he also has Floyd Mayweather in his corner and he is such a great trainer he will make Ricky feel like he is King Kong going in there. Hatton 2, Pacquiao 1

JOE CALZAGHE - Former super-middle & light-heavyweight world champion:

It's going to be a tough fight for Ricky but he's got a better chance of beating Manny than he did against Floyd Mayweather Jr [who beat Hatton in 2007]. If he can close the range and cut him down he has a great chance of winning. But he has to take his chance.

KEN BUCHANAN - Former lightweight world champion:

Ricky is set in the way he boxes. He goes forward, he's a pressure fighter and against Pacquiao he'll do what he's always done. Pacquiao, who's a tremendously talented fighter, will be too fast for him. Hatton 2, Pacquiao 2

BERNARD HOPKINS - Former middleweight and light-heavyweight world champion:

If Hatton moves his head from side to side as he comes in, it will give him the armoury to win this fight, because he has a rough tough style to defeat Pacquiao. But the winner will be he who executes the game plan best. Hatton has a great chance.

SIR HENRY COOPER - British heavyweight legend:

Hatton should win because he's bigger and heavier - and he's no slouch himself. Pacquiao is moving up the weight divisions. The first three rounds might be a bit flashy and fast for Hatton, but he'll wear Pacquiao down, and win in the latter rounds. Hatton 3, Pacquiao 2

RICHIE WOODHALL - Former super-middleweight world champion:

I think Pacquiao will cause Hatton all sorts of problems but he hasn't got Floyd Mayweather's speed or skills and Hatton's still the best light-welterweight in the world. Pacquiao's style should suit Hatton down to the ground. It will be Hatton's hardest fight ever but he'll have too much. Hatton 4, Pacquiao 2

CARL FROCH - WBC super-middleweight champion:

Ricky has got a very difficult job ahead of him. He's the underdog but I think he is going to pull it off. Size and power are his allies. If the referee lets him fight his fight rough, dirty, he'll beat Pacquiao. Hatton 5, Pacquiao 2

JAMES DEGALE - Olympic middleweight champion:

It's a fantastic fight. It's 50-50. It depends on who sticks to their game plan. If Pacquiao boxes Hatton he will win on a points decision. But if Hatton can draw Pacquaio into a fight, he is the bigger, stronger man, and will win on that count.

BARRY MCGUIGAN - Former featherweight world champion:

It's a pick 'em fight, with Pacquiao's speed and combinations against Hatton's strength and power. Hatton will have to use his relentlessness. Hatton on points. Hatton 6, Pacquiao 2

FRANK WARREN - Hatton's former promoter:

I don't like Hatton's chances. Boxing at light-welterweight will suit Hatton but it will favour Pacquiao more. Pacquiao will be that bit quicker than he was against Oscar de la Hoya at welterweight - and even stronger. Hatton 6, Pacquiao 3

TITOFAN - Saddo Boxing veteran poster and severe boxing fan:

Pacquiao should be commended for jumping two weight divisions and annihilating Oscar De La Hoya. But people forget... he's still one weight division above his normal fighting weight, and fighting arguably the best 140-pounder in the division, at his natural weight. Hatton 7, Pacquiao 3
