    that would be classic if those 2 actually were in the mannys and hatton's corner on fight night. the look on their faces would be priceless, i wonder if the animosity is still there?

    Ever since I've heard rumblings about a Hatton PAC fight I said Hatton would be too big and strong for PAC. I said the exact same thing with DLH. But at this point PAC is like Bhop.....I can never count the man out. He'll be in the fight for sure....will he win? I think so. I think Manny is a speacial fighter that doens't come round often....In many ways he's like Floyd Mayweather sr...not in terms of backgound, style or personality...but with what they bring to boxing as boxers/fighters. They are both really special fighters in their own ways and I think Hatton doesn't meet that criteria. We'll see.

    Morales is just saying that without a doubt if it was him he would have no chance. "Manny has no chance so you could say I have zero chance".:lol:

    Actually to all the haters. Erik has been picking Pac to win most of his recent fights. Which is really a no brainer considering Pac hasn't really taken any risky fights lately. It did surprise me he picked him over JMM though.

    Nice post. Opinions count for nothing but right or wrong on the result, Morales has a valid point.

    De La Hoya wasn't much of a risk. Just because a lot of silly people were dumb enough to pick DLH doesn't make him a risk. Marquez was a different matter.

    the DLH fight isnt considered a risk now based on what happened but before the fight few pick Pac to win,also DLH was very criticized for taking that fight cause most tought it was a mismatch and that Pac didnt stand a chance.

    and picking DLH to win wasnt dumb it was the most logical pick to make.

    If you say so. I always thought DLH was too old & slow. I honestly thought knowledgeable boxing fans could see that as quite obvious. I only thought the casual observer picked Oscar because he's a name. No offence intended

    it was mainly a size thing,most tought that DLH would be too big for Pac despite of his age .
