    Hang on a minute he's had one loss. He his a good fighter and most of us hatton fans know he's not the second coming. But I hope pac doesn't take his eye of the ball because he his in for a rude awakening.:good

    Judging from the talk coming out of Mayweather Snr. and Hatton plus 24/7, I dont think these guys have been studying tape of Pacquiao at all.

    It seems they are banking it all on the fact that Hatton is just that much bigger for Pacquiao to handle, and improving Hatton's boxing technique alittle along with boosting his confidence as much as possible.

    If Hatton isnt controlling the fight early, I see him collapsing mentally real quickly becoming discouraged and giving up.

    They probably have, but not just when 24/7 have been around. Roach his a great trainer, but I think some of them sparring partners he has assembled don't represent hatton style. Yes they come forward but hatton will be a lot sharper and quicker than them sparring partners .

    Maybe you shouldn't masturbate during the fight?

    This is Hatton-Mayweather Jr. all over again. The hype was reaching unbelievable heights before the fight and the bookies in the UK had an early christmas.

    The last week into the fight (which also happens to be now for Hatton-Pacquiao) Hatton was almost being projected as a huge favourite in the UK. The masses were fully convinced that it was going to be his night.

    Their gameplan is basically the bodyshot. They've put all their money on Hatton landing a bodyshot (with the assumption that Pacquiao has a weak body) and ending it right there and then.

    I'm kind of hoping that Hatton DOES land one and that Pacman just throws out his arms like he usually does when he gets tagged and continues colouring Hatton's face.

    That's when Team Hatton are really going to start sweating.

    going by the UK odds I think by fight night quite a bit of money will be put on Hatton.

    I just don't think they're hoping for the hook to the body because he his switching his attack and he won't be just whaleing in like he did against PBF. He'll be more measured use the jab because he has got one.

    that would be beautifull and it would make those fools that say that Pac has a week body based on two fights that happened ten years ago looked like complete idiots.

    people did the same thing for Tommy Hearns before he fought Sugar Ray Lenard....and we all know how that turned....and I see a similare result happening here...it being a close hard fought battle untill the Pacman starts to break down Hatton with his speed and volume punch and ends up stopping Hatton late.

    Fair enough but you can't really use that anaology, because hatton and pac are two completely different fighters to that of hearns and leonard.

    I'm not being facetious, but I think it is a tad irresponsible to tell casual fans they should bet everything on you, even if you mean it as a figure of speech to show your confidence...some people are just too immature/lacking in intelligence to take this kind of advice with a pinch of salt...even if it does happen to be good advice.

    I'd bet my house if I had one, I lost it the last time you told me to bet it against Mayweather.... :)

    Seriously though, I might put a few quid on him, odds not that great though.
