    I've been thinking Pacquaio this whole time since the fight was made but a post was made about Pacquaios chin being tested and what not. So Im really tossed up for this fight.


    I am going to stick with my prediction though and say Manny is going to be too fast for Hatton. Hatton still lacks defense and was hit by the somewhat speedy Paulie all the time. Nobody cared because Paulie cant hit worth a ****.

    Manny will constantly combo and land that lead left at will. Hatton will try to walk him down eating down after shot. Unless Bayless (I think he is reffing the fight) let's Hatton hit and hold. I don't see Manny losing. He is the better fighter and can hang with Hatton.


    I'm not counting Hatton out at all and I would not be surprised if Hatton won. If Hatton lands some good body shots often and early he could slow Pacquaio down and get to him.

    I don't see Manny KOing Hatton per say but it will either by stopped by the ref for too many shots or cuts to Hattons face.



    Manny TKO 8-10

    hatton will probably land one to pac's 2 or 3 punches, but i've always believed hatton's the harder puncher. hatton employing the jab like morales did the first time he beat pac and then landing those hooks and uppercuts on the inside will have to slow pac down at some point. hatton will take over the fight with each other wobbling the other, but i think hatton might take this on split decision or on cuts. it's a southpaw and an ortho, heads are almost surely gonna clash as both like to lunge in. too close to call can't wait till it starts! i'm going back and forth can't make up my mind:nut, but my heart says HATTON

    I expect the same thing.
    Hatton must avoid Pacs straight left like the plague........especially for the first 4 rounds, IF he makes it that far.

    I don't think Hatton can make Pac miss.
    One of the things Mayweather Sr should have made clear to Hatton is " we must make this man miss"

    Another key to Hatton success would be to disrupt Pacs timing.
    I don't see that happening either.
