Manny will tear Hatton to shreads

[ClubberLang]

I am a Hatton fan, but he has no shot against Pacman. Manny is just too damn fast for him. It will be exciting but one-sided like this fight.

[kingfrnk]

probably so. he didnt looks slow from all the extra weight and had enough power to make Oscar quit on his stool. so yea i agree.

I dont think Manny tears Hatton to shreds. At 140 I think it has the hallmarks of being a true classic. Its now a pick 'em for me.

[ultraelectromagneticpunch]

Ricky would be way different story... Too early to tell, but I think it would be a tough match... Not a walk-in-the-park like on DLH

For sure.this is the type of fight that can be featured on ESPN classics 30yrs from now. I think Ricky has a ton of heart to quit on his stool.but he doesnt have the foot speed to move laterally to stay away from flurries. All he can do is to cover up when Pac is throwing bombs. I think his best chance is if he could work the body early and maul Pac until he softens and go for the KO late.But I doubt it considering Pac's conditioning for every big fight and to his new found defense and elusiveness. I think it would be a competitive fight but Hatton would get the worst of the exchanges. And would be busted up late in the fight. It would be an insult to compare his skills to David Diaz but I thiink like Diaz's who has big heart he would keep fighting until you knock him out.

It's funny how this fight was a complete mismatch in favour of Hatton until about 5 hours ago, now Hatton gets destroyed.

The integrity of boxing fans eh

[Dark Lord Al]

make the fight it will be a classic , Manny will start as favorite but bring it on.

Exactly.. I had to dig up the thread from a few days ago that was "Hatton would Maul Pacquaio"... Hatton v Pac sounded like a great matchup to me even before there was talk of Pac v Oscar...
What we know now is Pac is as sharp at 140 at his lower weights,, and weight can't play a part anymore in deciding how he'll do against any light welters..

Actually, I was one of the few people who thought Pacman had a excellent chance to beat De La Hoya. Did not think it would be that one-sided, though. And I also thought Pac would probably beat Hatton, but after seeing the speed difference against a bigger guy I simply don't see how Ricky can beat him unless he just knocks him out. I mean, what would the strategy be? He will have to try to maul and bully him, but the way Pac was darting in and out against DLH makes that easier said then done. Late rounds stoppage win for Manny in a one-sided pasting, but I hope I'm wrong.

I never favored Hatton Personally,,,Could never produce a post saying so....

IMO always Manny was too fast for Hatton.....

After last night it has become evident...and amazingly...that Manny can not only carry the same fast pace but he also can carry the power needed.....

I would not pick him against a Cotto, Margarito or Williams but at 140 I really don't see him losing to anyone

Agree 100%.


Ricky is a banger and a joy to watch. But Ricky takes waaaay too many shots from guys nowhere near Pacquiao's level.

You won't find a bigger Hitman fan than me, but I do not want to see this fight any more than I wanted to see ODLH/Pac. Why? Cuz one of my boys is gonna get sparked.


This fight will NOT be competetive. Hatton looks decent for 2 rounds tops and gets completely decimated, most likely stopped, between 8 and 10 rounds.


There's only one Ricky Hatton! And I love him, but this would be the end for him.

I think there's truth to that... but the guy has the ability to shock and amaze.

I thought Oscar would bully him. But he bullied the bigger man into pure fear.

Ricky will come forward, and pac will shoot that straight left right up the gut then move laterally before Ricky even has the chance to open his eyes.

But I hope I'm wrong. I like Ricky a lot. One of my favorite fighters. But pac is simply superb. And frighteningly, he looks even better as he moves up in weight. IMO.

[Tysonbruno]

I would go with Hatton to win

[Pugilistic]

I personally think its a pickem fight.
