HATTON v PACQUIAO

[Gandalf]

hahahahah

Baffles me that Roach claims he'll be "disapointed" if Pac doesn't beat Ricky in 3 rounds. How fucking dare he say that!!!

Maywether couldn't so Pac Wont.

Really wanna see Ricky Bully him VIOLENTLY from the off after reading that

Also i think Hatton being the "underdog" in a lot of peoples eyes will make him fight like a maniac ala Kostya and i really am leaning towards the Hitman now and agree with Memphis that a trademark Body Shot will fold pac in half!

Gwan Ricky!!!

Roach was talking some shite when he mentions stopping Hatton in three. He's admitted since that it could be a long hard fight.

Im in the saem boat, I want Ricky to really put the pain on Manny and simply not give him room to breathe.

He needs to be a bit more careful than against Kostya but fight with that same intensity. Ricky needs to be relentless and wear Manny down through constantly having to think. Manny throws a lot of punches but he also likes space and room to breathe inbetween throwing punches. Hatton needs to choke out that space and keep giving Manny lots to think about.

Hoping that Hatton can cut him down late. C'mon Hatton!!!!!

Ricky will wear himself down trying be relentless and all. If he fails to hurt Pac in less than 4 rounds, then goodnight Ricky. The Hatton that we know now is not the same guy who beat Kostya Tszyu. That's the ONLY decent fighter that Ricky has beaten..Ricky beating a washed up Castillo, a feather fisted Malinaggi, his gifted decision with Collazo, didn't look impressive in beating Urango, OR Lazcano..and he got KO'ed when he took on the OTHER P4P fighter at the time, Floyd Jr. I don't think even having Floyd Sr. in his corner will be enough..Ricky's ONLY chance is to Knock Manny out..don't see that happening though. Ricky's NOT gonna out-point, or out-work Manny for 12 full rounds that's for sure. He's got a punchers chance at best, but only around 1-6 rounds. I have been watching all 3 24/7 and he said all these same things right before his fight with Floyd Jr., and he Lost. It'll be a fight worth watching though. Just hope Ricky doesn't get his ass-whooped TOO bad like Diaz and DLH did.

Hatton seems in great shape. If he's in great shape then he can fight hard for 12 rounds. No chest infections here like before Urango and Lazcano. Hatton can be as good as he was against Tszyu, and if he is able to pressure Manny for a full 36 minutes Manny will have his hands full.

Manny hasn't faced a Hatton type fighter before and certainly not at these higher weights. Manny is great offensively but lacking going back and he will be going back a lot. Now ay he just stands there with Hatton or he gets bombed out.

And Manny is NO PBF, they are worlds apart and Hatton is the man used to the higher weight here.

Hatton will rock Manny early and suddenly Manny won't be looking quite so cute. He is there and he can be caught, and he WILL be caught.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Manny stopped how Oscar was against Hopkins.

For some reason I'm thinking one guy's gonna fairly well dominate

Like maybe Hatton gets in his chest and mauls him, Pac's inside fighting is a bit of an unknown

Or Pac is able to use his legs to stay out of range a bit and catch him coming in, just won't be able to miss with the left and will bust him up, plus he may turn out to be stronger than Hatton and people think

I'll go with Pac. Wouldn't be that surprised by anything though.

As the Asians would say : "Yah SAME SAME"; me too mate.

I be going for Ricky though as I consider he is the underdog in this.
If Ricky dominates early I'll be screaming for Pac to pick his game up, visa versa best possible fight is what I want to see .

I've checked BetUS just now and it's -275 for PAC and +190 for Hatton... Bodog has PAC at -260 and Hatton at +200...

Everyone should get their money on Hatton because they are great odds. A 50:50 fight and you've got odds like that.

50:50 fight?? Hatton is more of an underdog in this fight compared to the Mayweather fight...

In the PBF-Hatton fight, PBF at -225 and Hatton at +185... We all knew what happened in that fight...

Well it's your choice to bet on Hatton... It's double or nothing...

My poll is neck and neck and shows the opinions of a lot of people who follow boxing day in day out.

The bookies reflect where the money is going, a lot of people saw the DLH fight and are putting their money away based on that.

I maintain that it's 50:50 to those that know boxing.

Personally, I push it a little more towards Hatton.

Here's one poll from ESPN just for statistics purposes... There were 8,000 plus votes cast tho it's not sure if all that voted know boxing...




Here's another poll in a US-based boxing site with almost 25,000 people who voted...

That's biased as hell. ESPN and a "US" boxing site of course there gonna vote for Pacquiao.

That would be like me posting 2 poll's on a European forum and of course Hatton will get more votes there. It's basic common sense.

[kaneo71]

My prediction: Hatton for 11th round stoppage if he bullys Pacquiao

Lot of flips in the US, besides Pacquiao is more supported and well known in the US than Hatton.

[Gandalf]

Pac is known by a lot of armchair fans as the lightning little man who beat up the "legend" DLH. That's not how I see him obviously, but then I am not the general public.

Those polls reflect opinions, but we don't know who these people are nor what their boxing knowledge is.

I have no hesitation in saying that the general public is stupid and that people who give Hatton 1% chance of winning are certifiable. That is all.

Unlike Ricky, at least that little man didn't avoid DLH.

...where's the poll for de la hoya vs manny, or margarito vs mosley, b-hop vs pavlik. Polls don't mean shit.
