To say Hatton has no chance at all is ridiculous. This is boxing and anything can happen, as was proved last night.
At 140 pac would be fighting a near prime champion of the divison. Hatton has a chance to beat him. I'd go 60 40 pac at the moment. How do you think Oscar would have done against a top 147 fighter last night? The Oscar last night would have lost to steve forbes! Hatton pac is a fight I want to see. Followed by the winner vs floyd at a catch of 142-143lbs.
Don't rule out Hatton's chances here. He is far more active than an old DLH and closes the gap quickly to punch. He likes to fight roughhouse and that could give the active Pacquiao something to think about.
Freddie Roach wanted the Hatton fight more than the DLH fight, that should set up loud alarms for Hatton fans.
Mayweather Snr wanted the Pacquiao fight more than the DLH fight,that should set up loud alarms for Pacquiao fans.
He had no chance against Tszyu because he had no skills,was a brawler etc etc..........heard all this tosh before.
I'd say Manny has the edge on Hatton, but for all those saying Hatton has no chance surely the events of the last 12 hours or so would suggest that you can't discount the underdog.
Yup. Let'em hate. He was too unskilled to beat Tszyu, no chance to beat Castillo, was going to get outboxed by pitter patter paulie... Hatton is back in the game. He could do it- make Pac fight in the phone booth, don't let him get the distance to line up those lead lefts and bounce away, work his body. Hatton will do it.
