Hatton will batter Pac and make him go down to his proper division. He has no business in the higher division.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Jones beat a prime Barrera in 5 that was a much quicker beating
We can look at this the other way. Will Hatton give Pac the worst beating ever like he did to Tszyu, Catillo and Malignaggi . It will be hard to give Pac a bigger beating than Torrencampo and Singursat did but Im sure he can try
If Hatton goes in there with his head screwed on right and makes Pac feel some power early it might stay on Ricky's side. Got to get out there and make a dent, and quick. Pac might fold himself after a few rounds of that. Castillo wasnt known for breaking down early.
Again Hatton is the bigger man, totally used to the weight. Pac is facing his first real test above 135 (with ODL hindsight vision).

It's assured that hatton will give the worst manhugging to pac that he has ever had to endure.
Ending it quicker does not always means it's the worst beating... I can clearly recall the commentators during PAC-MAB 1 saying it's the worst beating in Barrera's whole life...
Castillo I think got a worst beating from the late Diego Corrales and definitely Malignaggi was beaten badly by Cotto, suffering a broken jaw and several cuts including cuts inside his mouth...

This is one of the fights that as the possibilities of being a boxing classic
or a mismatch. It all depends on what fight Hatton brings into the ring.
Without a doubt, PAC should be the likely winner, but anything can happen
when two good warriors stand face to face.
Will Hatton be just another British fighter that will get chopped-up and defeated, or will he take a page out of the Randy Turpin handbook when he defeated the great Sugar Ray Robinson in London in July 1951.
Remember, Turpin was aggressive and used an effective jab
to upset the "Sugar Man', can Hatton do the same to upset the
'PAC Man", or will it be like the return fight where PAC scores
a knockout in 10 like Robinson did to Turpin.
Will it be like the 1948 Gus Lesnevich - Freddy Mills,
where Hatton scores a couple of convincing knockdowns
to win the decision, or will it be like the Joey Maxim vs Mills
battle where the PAC Man scores the KO in ten like Maxim
did to Mills.
Anything is possible, but it may be a ten round loss for Hatton.
Hatton's best bet is to use his new found jab to perfection, but
put the pressure on the PAC Man from round one.
BALANCE, LEVERAGE, ACCURACY, SPEED and TIMING - Effective punching.
Problem with Pac, He's very experienced with Different kinds of fighters. Hatton's a come forward bulliing style. Just recently Pac Dominate Diaz with his come forward style. Lucero & Velasquez did the same. Hussein-hussein same Dirty style but still a very young Pac still handles him. Note also that Pac was just a raw-unskilled Fighter then that's why Pac hit some Problem then. I just don't see Hatton winning any rounds here against a prime time Pac!
Pac should smash Hatton rather easily

"So, here we go again. Another training camp soon to begin for the sports number one pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao. The last time we were approaching this sort of thing everybody (me included) in the boxing scribe world was talking as if De La Hoya was going to simply destroy Pacquiao. Well as everyone knows now, Manny had a little something different in mind. With this next fight between Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton, when you compare the fighting styles of both warriors, I don't see how Pacquiao doesn't come out of this one with his arm raised.
Speed kills, and the speed that will be inflicted upon Ricky Hatton's face and body will be an awful lot to handle. Hatton is a come to you kind of fighter, so if he plans on "coming to" Manny Pacquiao, expect to see the British version of a human bobble head doll in the ring. This doesn't mean that Pacquiao can just get into the ring and let his guard down, because Hatton is a true warrior and he will show up to fight.
The beauty of having a Freddie Roach in your corner is having that master game plan in your corner with you. Roach will no doubt be looking at video of every Hatton fight, and he will put together the plan that will ultimately deal "The Hitman" his bloody ending.
I expect to see blinding speed and basically an all out assault dished out to Ricky Hatton. More than likely there will be blood, and more than likely it won't be on the face of Manny Pacquiao. Hatton's only chance is to catch Manny with something that he's not ready for, or doesn't see. Roach will have Manny ready, so if Hatton is to pull off an upset he will need to hit Manny with something that Manny doesn't see. Evander Holyfield told me one time that "It's not so much how hard someone hits, it more of a matter of getting hit with something that you do not see." Is this possible? Yes, it's possible, but it's not probable.
I do expect to see Hatton have his moments in the ring. He will get hit a lot, and he will be the recipient of many combinations from many angles, however, he will keep coming. Ricky Hatton is a true warrior in the ring, and if he's taken lightly he just may deliver a UK ass whooping of his own. I think this only happens if Pacquiao underestimates him and gets lazy in the ring. Although I believe that this fight will be a good one, in the end it's Pacquiao's speed that will put the Hit on "The Hitman."
.
I see Pac winning this fight and potentially winning it easily. No disrespect to Hatton, he has a great spirit and fun style to watch, but even with Floyd snr. in his corner he is too limited a fighter...come forward and unload. Also, I feel Hatton has reached and passed his physical peak. His notorious balloning of weight between fights combined with all the wear and tear for a fighter with his style...are going to catch up with him. Speed and skill will almost always kill power and aggression...and Pac has plenty of speed and continuing to improve his skills. The fight certainly will have exciting moments...both fighters like to go toe to toe...but ultimately Pac has more in his arsenal (both skill wise and strategy wise) than Hatton.
Good post.
I'm no Manny fan, I want Hatton to win by KO, maybe only to shut the 'Tszyu was old' people up.
Thing is, Manny has improved a lot in his last few fights and although he may be a bit smaller, he hits very hard and his speed is first rate.
It's gonna be very exiting I reckon and no matter what anyone says.........the outcome is totally unpredictable.
Pacman is going to peel Hatton's cap. To bad we wont be able to tell the difference because when some one peels your cap, a pink base is all that is left but Hatton is already pink, so we wont be able to spot it but, Hatton is going to get owned in his own division by a midget![]()
Oh my friend but in LIGHT of new findings, there is a very STRONG possibility that Margarita CHEATEDNot even Chino is firing back at me now that Tony was caught with the PLASTER of PEREZ in his wraps. Your argument does not hold much water anymore on this subject. Sure Cotto got beat up but then again so did Billy Collins Jr. and for any one to brag about that beating
well you get the idea.
Oh and in closing, Hatton is going to get beat up like a red headed step child for however long he can last in the ring against PACMAN. I think Hatton will show us in this fight why he is considered such a HUGE hugger. Hatton is not going in against a soft hitting Paulie Malignaggi. word.
