Hatton vs Pacquaio - Who do you think will win and why ?

[Quixall]

Oh shut up DG, thats like calling Oscar a super-featherweight!! You know your stuff, stop masqurading as a tool!!!

he is a tool.

dumbest tool in the deepest toolbox in the shed.

Shut up, bitch!

Bumbridge Wells Rent Boy!

Now now, gentlemen.....or is that ladies DD

Hitman had better watch out, cos iv'e heard that DG throws a great left hook.....with his handbag

[hitman_hatton1]

i'm too fast for the old git. D

[Quixall]

hatton does better against straight ahead fighters. he struggles more with speedy fighters and particularly left handers. pac was fast down at 126 and 130, let alone 140. add in pac's ability to take what he's given and his ability to fire straight back.

tough fight for rick. i'd never rule out hatton's chances out completely. cos u don't know how pac is gonna respond to that style of hatton's. but u have to make pac a favourite.

probably pts or the accumulation taking it's toll in the last couple. :(

I would agree sir

I thought you may be more biased for Rick, but nice to see some objectivity

It would be PBF Vs Wricky all over again!


Ignore HitmahHatton1, once a month (during his cycle) he acts up!

one of the reasons i'm so strong on pac to win is my recent predictions have been gush.

getting so much wrong at the moment.

i even believed mayweather about staying retired.

I was out on it last week, actually, Gay Boy!

Hmm, it's a tough call and as easy as it is to say "Hatton is too big and strong", I don't think it is a given that Ricky will win based purely on that. I think it will be a full on war. Be interesting to see how Manny takes a body shot (Castillo style) from Ricky.

Tale of the Tape:

Name: Manny Pacquiao - Ricky Hatton
Fights Won: W48 (36KO) - W45 (32KO)
Fights Lost: L3 (2KO) - L1 (1KO)
Fights Drawn: D2 - D0
Height: 5′ 6½″ - 5′ 7½″
Reach: 67″ - 65″
Av Wgt since '07: 133lbs - 140¾lbs

This is a rather naive way to look at things, but, if you go purely based on the info above - the fact that there is an inch between them, a two inch reach difference and essentially one (and maybe a half) weight divisions between them - then perhaps it isn't quite the David VS Goliath contest that some people are suggesting.

No hiding from the fact that Ricky much rather enjoys fighting smaller guys and throwing them around a bit, but does Manny have the durability and skills to move past that and take Ricky out? Can (or will) Manny cut Ricky?

This is gonna be a war, but I get the feeling that if Ricky beats him up and wins, a lot will say "I knew that would happen, Ricky was too big and too strong", but if Manny wins, a lot will say "I knew he would be too skilfull for Ricky, Ricky is shot".

At this stage I don't know who I think will win, but I am looking foward to it very much.

It boils down to a few factors:

Who can make it their fight? Can Pacquaio keep it outside and box and move or can Ricky make it an inside fight? Pacman can't win inside and Rick can't win at range. What happens if Ricky pushes Pac on the back foot where he looks far less impressive?

Is Pacquaio as strong as Hatton at the weight? Huge factor, I think he may be close, how will each fighter handle the others power? Pacquaio's power, speed and accuracy may take Ricky out, as may Ricky's strength at the weight

Who has the better stamina? If the fight goes past 8 this is key. Hatton sets a faster pace than Pacman usually, can Pac handle that pace? Probably. Will Hatton fade down the stretch?

Anything could happen in this fight for me, either fighter could KO the other or it could be a back and forth war. It could also be a 1sided beating to either fighter

Not a Hatton Fan Eh?

Eaches own , i always like to watch HAtton as Exiting to watch
im sure his next few fights will be against top boys aswell
Pacquio is great aswell and this has all the ingredients to be a cracker.

Hatton has to be applauded for taking these fights
these are the top drawer ones we want to see

Its going to be a cracker

?

He would be more applauded for taking a real TRADE fight like Cotto!

And fighting the top boys consistently like a SSM or any other fighter who takes trade fights...like Cotto!

He is taking less of a risk in this fight just like in the PBF fight.

Applaud my arse!

[Phenomenal-Nutrition]

Actually after seeing Pacman has Khan and Linares as sparring partners amongst others, and that he'll be getting far better sparring I'm going with him

[belowthebelt]

i think pac will be in and out all night and never in range when hes not throwing punches.remember that ricky couldnt get past pretty boys lead right so he might stuggle even more with pacmans sweet lead left.

i'll go for pacman late stoppage due to the hitman taking too much punishment but i feel this is 55-45 fight as we dont know whether pac will fight well against hattons brawler/boxer style(and rickys bodyshots)

cant wait

[Chambers2]

It's a tough fight to call. I picked Manny to beat DLH 8) (had a fortune on a Mannu UD though ) and I think he'll edge past Hatton.

It's gonna be a great fight!! FOTY contender IMO along with Taylor-Froch, that's gonna be a good couple of weeks

[big lennox]

i just wonder how vulnerable hatton is to the chin these days. Mayweather bashed him up in some style and looked pretty hurt by Juan Lazcano, who I think has trained at Freddie Roach's gym, I beleive.I think Freddie and Manny will be looking for the knock out. My prediction is that Hattton will be in it for the first 6 rounds, pushinmg Manny back, but sligghtly behind on points and then manny will break free and take over and take Hatton out.I sincerely hope I am wrong though.

Don't get your hopes up on Froch-Taylor bringing much in the way of excitment
