both aggressive come forward fighters and both have speed and the abilty to bang. pacmans got more skill but hatton has to have the edge on muscle and bully boy tactics... could go either way. I can't see pacman getting a ko. I look at some footage of Pacquiao and from what i've seen he struggles when he gets hit to the body. Is that the key?
This whole Pac is more skilled thing is just silly, the guys a wind up toy. Granted he's had a good run, especially lately, but he's not the most skilled boxer out there. Hatton's boxing skillset though stylistically ugly to some (my favorite) is far superior to Pacquiao's and with Sr. in his corner I'm picking Hatton to stop Pac.
I hope Hatton does Ko him. I know Hatton should win and until the oscar fight i was sure he would. Part of me just thinks this could go the same way as the David Diaz fight
absolutely he can win. otherwise this wouldnt be a mega fight. i think hatton will win. but i wouldnt be shocked if pac wins.
No. They could fight 100 times and Pac would be 100-0. And for the record, I love Hatton. I just understand and can admit that his huge defensive flaws would costs him every time against Pac.
this will be a good fight. both very aggressive fighters. but people underestimate hattons chin. hattons size advantage will be a factor considering he will actually be able to hit pac unlike de la hoya.
maybe if he stops holding we could see some of his skills, but he doesn't. if no holding is allowed he is dead meat.
Yes, But it'll be a very hard night for him and he'll need to be 100% on top of his game. Anything less and Pac will box him into the middle of next week. If Mayweather Sr irons out the flaws in his game, if Hatton shows the same heart as he did against PBF he has a good chance no question. Paramount is body shots, Hatton just didn't land them against PBF, again, if he doesn't land them against Pac it's going to be a very tough night for Ricky.
Just throwing something out there to see if anyone thinks its possible. No its not a prediction or anything like that but is it possible that at this weight PAC is all hype? I mean prior to the DLH fight he had only had one fight ABOVE 129. Not to mention DLH is shot and drained from weight going into that fight. I just wonder if this could be so much hype that Hatton demolishes PAC.
