    I think stylstically it is a nightmare for hatton because his defense is too open and he is easy to hit. Luiz collazo had him hurt and wobbly and he only has 5 ko''s or something.

    also even light hitting malignaggi caused hatton's face to swell hatton i think will be tore apart and KO'd. I think if the fight is in England with 90000 fans of his he can wint hough because whenever u have that many people cheering for you in your own backyard it makes you a hell of alot more motivated

    No, I don't think so. There's always the chance that something big lands for either guy, but for the most part I see Hatton giving Pacquiao massive trouble. Even a fighter of Mayweather's caliber had some difficulty catching Hatton consistently. Manny will give himself plenty of opportunities of course because he throws alot more punches than Floyd, but if he has any difficulty hurting Hatton and/or slowing him down he's ****ed.

    I think Hatton is good do not get me wrong, but Pacman might be a little too much speed for him. Hatton is good but Pacman is great. Cotto is the better fight for Pacman as far as competition.

    No, Hatton may be past his best but ODLH was completely shot. What I want to know is how will Manny do against Soto, Juanma, Valero or Guzman.

    Too bad we will NEVER NEVER NEVER find out huh?

    No.. Hatton's going to put up a fight.. He looked impressive in his last fight against Malignaggi and has a good trainer in Mayweather Sr.. It has the makings to be a war and I do think there will be a KO..

    Easy fight for Hatton, Pac goes to sleep or the ref stops it.

    This might be a fathomable outcome if Pac was fighting a younger Hatton however this current version whose sporting a weaker beard is more likely to be one taking an in ring nap.

    Hatton will get inside on Pac, and will go to the body. Hatton is a very good body puncher, and Pac's 2 ko losses were due to body blows. I think DLH didn't hit Pac hard enough or frequent enough to know weather Pac can hold up or not. I think this is a very good fight.

    I see it finishing at roughly the same time in favour of Pac. Hatton is too easy to hit, Pac is too fast, and although Hatton will no doubt do a far better job at walking Manny down, he will be taking 4/5 punches for every 1 he lands.

    The single punch that Pacquiao had an overt reaction to was a crushing body shot by De La Hoya. It clearly hurt him. I'm on the same page.

    Hatton is young and still improving, and-more importantly-has no issues making weight.

    Hatton being strong at 140 and DLH being weak at 147 could make all the difference, i think Hattom might be able to make his weight an issue where DLH couldnt.

    Iv underestimated both Ricky and Manny in recent times, this is a close match up!
