    NO base on style. Oscar's left hook will connect on hatton. Hatton loves to eat left punches.

    HAtton would've have used a different gameplan...it's easier to talk about it now because of the domination that Pac exhibited. But if Hatton fought DLH first, it would've have been closer because Hatton would've opted to fight from a distance instead of the usual tag and grab style. That would be cautious of DLH's left hook whick is Hattons weakness. Hatton should take it for having fresher legs, but DLH's left hook is not to be ignored...when it hits, it's over.

    You guys who think Dlh beats Hatton at 147 are blind. Maybe you just don't want to remember how Dlh used to fight in his prime. You guys say PAc was too much for Dlh at 147, yet Dlh lands his hook on Hatton lol. Dlh couldn't even land his JAB on PAc so how would he land his hook on Hatton, and even if he did, it is a Dlh hook weighing in at 147 lol. You Pac fans can sometimes be the worst lol...

    Maybe you should have said this BEFORE DLH fought Pac.

    And if you were so smart, you'd realize DLH had trouble landing because of Pac's movement. Hatton doesn't employ any sort of movement like that. And if Paulie could land his left hoof on Hatton at will...you think DLH can't?

    Different name, same ol Pac hater Amsterdam...:roll:

    Nah...without the PAC-dlh fight you would've have given Hatton the advantage over DLH huh? Most will favor DLH like it or not. Simply basing it on recent fights. You keep hating:good

    I think you need to look in the mirror to see the idiot.

    After you're through with the looking glass, have a peek in your dictionary.

    Try:

    Size
    Small
    Smaller

    Then sit and ponder for a bit.

    Then back to the mirror again.


    (to help with your ponderings, both stepped on the same HBO scale going into the fight. Manny 148.5; Oscar 147)

    I think he was referring to being the bigger man naturally. Pac blew up to 148, while DLH shrunk to 147...doesnt change the fact that DLH is still the naturally bigger man. If Pac weighted in at 160 that night looking like butterbean, is he the bigger man? Yes! but not naturally.

    :huh So despite being shorter (by about 5 inches), since Pac weighed 1.5 pounds heavier, he was actually the BIGGER fighter?

    When we talk bigger and smaller in boxing, we always mean weight, unless we say otherwise.

    If not, Kelly Pavlik is bigger than Mike Tyson and Paul Williams is bigger than Joe Frazier

    and so on...

    Who's this WE ****? Bigger comes from body size, not weight that can be attributed to something as simple as water weight.

    You're comparison's with Pav and Tyson are not even comparable to Pac and DLH.

    No, Dlh had trouble landing on PAc because of his feints, speed, and the southpaw style. You wouldn't know this, because you'd rather argue than talk boxing. Pac turned Dlh and kept him center ring as told by Roach. Hatton has side to side movement which is just as hard for Dlh to land. With Mayweather Sr. training Hatton and knowing Dlh, he would tell Hatton that Dlh would be slow and weak at 147 just as Roach knew Dlh would be.

    Hatton is not slow either. Paulie was scared of Hatton and he couldn't punch so don't even mention him. Paulie was also prime. Dlh lacked speed and power being 35 and fighting at 147. Dlh also had not fought a southpaw since Camacho which was 1999. Pac had every advantage. Hatton would've been very aggressive with Dlh, muscling him constantly, and would've beaten Dlh up to the body. Whether or not it would be a fast or faster than Dlh, I don't know nor care.

    I just know that Dlh would've lost to Hatton and maybe even Juan Marquez if Marquez moved up to 147. It's always better to gain weight in your prime rather than lose weight out of your prime.
