    Hatton by KO.

    I think you will see what HAtton's mates Barrera and Jmm failed to do. KO Pac.

    HAtton is stronger he is not a blown jnr welter. He aint slow like Hoya. I see Hatton wins.

    He got the W, but did he really win. Collazo is a good lefty and that is the example. Pac has very good speed to boot.

    Do you know who Tszyu is bro?

    Like I said before, I don't see Hatton losing at 140 and I don't care who it is ... I don't think that Pac is going to be any different ... especially if the fight is at 140.

    Has anyone actually watched the Hatton vs Tszyu fight..... or just assumed in hindsight (after watching Hatton vs Urango) that Ricky was cheating all night in order to win?

    I'll take Pac by late round KO....Ricky will come straight forward and Pac will outbox him to a late stoppage...

    I think Hatton will be a far tougher opponent for Pacquiao than de la Hoya was. Particularly if there's a liberal ref in the ring.

    But speed of foot and hand is lethal when combined with good punching technique. I lean towards Pacquiao in a well contested bout.

    Hatton looked like **** IMO against an even shittier Malignaggi he has no chance against Manny. All Ricky does is run to his opponent and try to take him out with monster hooks that you see coming ten minutes in advance. I'm sure Manny will stop him before the 10th round.

    Hatton is a good fighter with an amazing following but he's not some supernatural force of invincibility at 140 lbs. His resume is nothing special and in his most recent fights he hasn't been impressive. Malignaggi offered very little resistance for the majority of the fight, Lazcano is a journeyman at best who hurt Hatton twice and maybe could have done better if the ref didn't unnecessarily interfere, and Mayweather thoroughly out boxed and embarrassed him. Hatton's clearly past his prime and will be fighting against a man who seemingly gets better with every fight, who possesses a devastating straight left that Hatton is susceptible to, and has the type of movement and body rhythm that will make it difficult for him to get inside on.


    Do you know who Hatton is bro?

    I'd rate Hattons Jab as about average. Also in the DLH fight Pac showed that he can move very well. Maybe as a result of specific instructions rather than natural preference but he did it well against Oscar regardless. I can see Pac doing a pretty good job of avoiding too much inside fighting and body shots.

    Hatton is obviously more energetic and aggressive than DLH so it should make for some pretty good exchanges.

    For me it's tactics - if Pac can find an stylistic exploitation that Hatton can't adapt to akin to his lead left against DLH he can win. If not it's Hattons slight advantage.

    MAB has one of the best jabs, certainly alot better than Hatton and both were same height, MAB actually had the longer jab. Pac outjabbed MAB...only guys who outboxed Pac so far are Morales & JMM, both are terrific boxers, Hatton is not in their league in terms of boxing skills. Hatton is great at what he does, pressure, but pac is better in pretty much every single department.
