Since Hatton is a popular topic at the moment and I have read that a Hatton v Pacquaio, at l-w, super-fight has been mooted for late 08. So who wins and how? :huh
Despite being better p4p probably i couldnt see how pacman wins this. come fight night hatton would probably have nearly a stone weight advantage whichat light welter is too much plus hatton is very good at that weight. i see pacman in this for a bit wading in with fast punches but as soon as ricky started letting off by a about the 5 or 6 round he would have pac down and out either with a body shot or a big head shot. if these two were to fight a would hit a huge wager on hatton.
Bruh I'm a Pac fan . . . an objective one at that. If I'm giving Juan Diaz less chance to beat Hatton . . . I'll be giving Pac lesser chance. :yep Take note . . . Hatton continued the pressure till he lasted against PBF despite getting hit repeatedly, I don't see Juan Diaz or Pac hitting Hatton as accurately and as solidly as PBF did. Hatton via K.O.
That's true... but PBF, same as Collazo is a light hitting Welterweight. If Hatton can be Koed with just one punch by a Brittle fisted PBF, then a Phenominal Hard-hitting 130 pounder Pac can hurt him too. Pac has proven he can stop any Granite Chinned fighters he's fought. We already knew Hatton is no Rock, he can be hurt. He has no head movement, His hand is too short he has to choose which one to defend either his Body or his face. Pac's is longer & Faster. He'll hit Hatton multiple times first before hatton can do his Grappling technique. Pac stops Hatton earlier than Floyd. Mark my word.
I'd go along with Hatton in this, he could take Pac's power I'd think and Pac isn't strong enough or doesn't have the counterpunching skills to discourage Hatton. Probably late stoppage but it'd be one-sided.
Hatton is MUCH stronger than Pacquiao. At 140, Pacquiao's speed and power (the two things that make him great) would see a sharp decrease. Hatton would make Pacquiao fight off the backfoot, which in turn, would take Pacquiao out of his comfort zone. Pacquiao has speed, but Hatton is fast at 140. He wouldn't get countered coming in like he did against Collazo or Mayweather. And in close quarters, he would muscle Pacquiao around, position him for his body shots, and bust him up. Manny doesn't have much of a chance at all against Mayweather, De La Hoya, Hatton, or Cotto.
