the official "let's look at ricky and pac objectively" thread

Pretty much all the points raised so far have been fantastic, I agree with pretty much everything said so far.

Pacquiao looked pretty rocked from the harder body punches by Marquez, I think this will be a contributing factor.

 

will ricky lose the plot on the big occasion (again)? if not its 50/50 (ish)..

 

i cant decide on this one,ill prpbably end up betting on it simply because good odds speak to me in a seductive voice.
i see it going 2 ways,
- pacs movement,speed and accuracy along with his southpaw stance is too much for hatton,he cant pin pac down & gets hit alot trying to,probably leading to a late stoppage.
- hattons strength,pressure,ability to cut off the ring & his hand & foot speed will over come pac.hatton is the strongest person pacs fought by quite a margin,dlh doesnt come close,hattons also alot quicker than dlh & diaz,they were the kind of guys he's bound to look great against.
in reality itll probably be both,with each guy having his moments,

 

hatton was rocked abit by head shots from lazcano,pacs going to be landing alot more shots than that,i think the fact that paulie has zero power and rarely threw the right hand made hattons work easy that night,ie only watched it the once though

 

True and on the other hand...ricky had a terrible loss to floyd. Craziest I saw since tyson berbick. Its hard to bounce back from fights like that.

you know a fighter can lose a fight and leave alot of what they once had in the ring with there undefeated record. so pac man has the advantage.

hatton is rich from floyd. so he not hungry. he coming off a really bad loss. yes rick loss to the ebst p4p but look at how he loss. i dont think ricky will be the same.

pac man has been battering people. he is on another planet with confidence. and he is HUNGREY! Hope Hatton can keep it competetive

 

damn right,i love match ups that have me second guessing all the time,theres not enoiugh of them
i dont think itll be easy for either man like so many suggest,im intereested to see how pac holds up when it goes into close quarters uf the ref allows some grappling.
