    think Hatton may be in the toughest fight of his career. The weigh-in results: Pac 138, Hatton 140. Face to face, Pac couldn't keep from smiling, and Hatton was very serious lol. Atlas says he puts up a red light for PAc coming in at 138...why? Anyway, For once Atlas struck on something that fans probably already knew anyway, and I'll talk about it a bit later in this post. Both guys are in for a tough fight. Here it goes:

    England versus the Phillipines...wow!

    Wow, Floyd Sr. and Hatton don't get along...what a surprise. Floyd Sr. has been sick at times and seeking attention for himself, and I hear Floyd Sr. is sick of how Hatton's talk at times, in some ways degrades women when using word's like ***** and **** has possibly split the two for good after this fight. WOW! Anyway...

    I'm happy that Pac is fighting a man in his absolute prime lol... No excuses from me, or excuses for either fighters fans no matter who wins. Hatton has been in with Floyd, Urango, an old Kostya, and some other tough guys...so no excuses.

    For once Atlas struck on something that fans probably already know anyway. Hatton's footwork. Atlas said basically that if Hatton can use his feet, and the way Atlas put it was funny as hell-Atlas likens Hatton's chances to walking through the hood with bling on 2:00am in the morning, and not get robbed lol... If Hatton can use his feet and CONTROL DISTANCE meaning get in and get out, he has a great chance for the big upset. I knew the fight would come down to this months ago, but I was glad Atlas reminded us. Hatton doesn't have to match handspeed with Pac, but he does have to match him feet wise. Feints are on the menu for Hatton. He has to feint his way in, and get Pac to lean in looking to fire punches, and catch Pac when he opens up. The only thing is PAc is so fast, Hatton might not be able to find the key to the door.


    Pac has been knocking guys out to the head and body in sparring and has been looking dominant in sparring...forget 24/7. My inside guy/friend told me that Pac is cracking guys in sparring, and that he knows that Hatton is a real threat, and not a Diaz or Dlh type threat. Also, Pac has been sitting on the ropes and taking shots JUST IN CASE he gets trapped on the ropes. Turn, turn, and turn Hatton, and letting go of those fast hands is how PAc will deal with Hatton's holding. If Hatton thinks he can trap Pac, and hold and hit PAc...he has another thing coming. Pac is so fast now that I just can't see a way Hatton an catch him. Imo PAc is going to use more power in this fight. At times PAc will push Hatton back/off of him and even throw punches right after he does this. How will this fight end?

    I see Pac cutting Hatton early, and Pac landing his big straight left and right hooks to the body. Even the jab will land for Pac at times. Pac is just going to be too fast for Hatton. At times Hatton will land some decent shots, but this fight will be all Manny...using every last weapon in his arsenal, and stopping Hatton in 7. Now I said Froch stopping J.T will NOT be a surprise, but if Hatton were to beat Pac, this would be a huge upset in boxing.

    Hatton's ability to close the distance and his abiility to maul and rough up Manny will be the difference Manny hasn't never seen this type of style and can't adjust to it IMO.

    Sanchez didn't brawl/hold and hit Pac. He countered PAc's aggression...illegally lol...

    Hatton looked very ripped at the weigh-in. Pac is always ripped, but Hatton looked like he had Batman's stomach shield on lol...
