He'll bloody well have to, if what I've heard about manny in sparring is true. I've seen vid clips on Manny sparring before (In the build up to Pacquiao vs Morales 1)... Pacquiao had his back against the ropes, and he was allowing the sparring partnet to hit him in the ribs. :o I was thinking, &quo...

Respect your opinion, think though you will be in the minority as far as the scoring of the fight is concerned. Perhaps the refereeing was poor, will have to view the fight, but I don't think many really thought Spinks lost the fight - especially if you don't score the KD's and point deductions. Sp...

It's true....

Well it does make sense seeing as there is a link between Alex Arthur and Manny Pacquiao through Freddie Roach.

He fought Mayorga, who had just beaten Forrest - he was the betting underdog and was the promoters' choice of victor.... So not sure what you mean. Sure the Judah fight was close, but isn't that indication that he isn't massively overated. He held a fighter who you consider a real fight for Hatton ...

Not Gatti/Mitchell/Spinks/Mosley/or any other fighter that's shot and old! Ummm - Cory Spinks is a massive 8 months older than Hatton. How can you say he is old and shot, based on one fight - which he was winning before getting careless. He hardly looked shot there. Yes, he should be more active bu...

A Gatti fight is a no win situation for Hatton and a bad career choice. We all accepted Maussa as an opponent as he was going to be in big fights after that then they might trawl out the shell of Gatti for him to beat up? Come on! :roll: Agreed 100% ... If Hatton fights Gatti he's no better than Ma...

Maussa......? :-? Serious question... How is Hatton going to prepare for Maussa's wild swinging unorthodox style, (if you can call it a style)? 1. Would you suggest Hatton get's in close and punishes the body? Keeps the fight at close range all the time? 2. Or stands back... Waits for Maussa to thro...

I wouldn't buy any tickets yet... If Warren get's his injunction on the 20th, you may end up holding a £100 ticket for a card that doesn't include Hatton vs Maussa.

I'd prefer to see what happens in court 1st before parting with any money.

Being the first person to beat (and stop) Glen Johnson is an achievement.

Re: My P4P top 20 list, I'm interested in what you guys thin

It's easy to pick out his weakest opponents. I see you left Vanderpool, Echols & Glen Johnson out of your list. As I said, he beat the best of his era and not only did he beat them - he rarely lost a round. But I don't particulary see these as career defining fights either... Vanderpool isn't r...
