You will see the difference between a shot fighter in de la hoya and an active fighter in his prime in Hatton. I believe the size difference come fight night will be to much for pacman and Hattons power and body work will tell in the latter rounds. Hatton by KO around 9.
I pray to the The Big Fella upstairs that Hatton beats the crap out of Pac. Six months ago it was regarded as a pretty even fight.....now Pac is going to 'humiliate him'!! Is that what beating a sickeningly past-it ODLH does......produce believers? I love the underdog.
Hatton will win this fight by late ko r on pts! he will be too strong for pacman & hatton has plenty of speed to cause manny trouble.... counting down the days for this 1!!!!!!!:happy
Ricky's got this one in the bag.Pacman doesn't stand a chance. Got a pint or two waiting for you Ricky after the fight.
He won't school him, Ricky's no mug. Pac will edge it out, though. Remember, Hatton's got excellent power, and Pacquiao's small at LWW; any kind of impact punches from Hatton will score heavily and keep him in the fight.
No i disagree i think Pac is going to find it very hard against a natural light welter who has never looked like losing at the weight.I think Pac is in for a shock.
you've been here a fair bit. 6 months ago, you'd be laughed out of ESB for even suggesting pac would be competitive with hatton. go have a look at the older threads. even juan diaz was pegged as a overwhelming favorite against pac this time last year. i hope pac does slice him up.
Pacquiao does have a speed advantge yes but Hatton has a size and strength advantage. Hatton is way bigger than anyone Pacquiao has ever faced. Pacquiao doesn't like to be forced backwards. It all doesn't add up to a schooling from Pacquiao in my opinion. It's not going to be as easy for Pacquiao as beating up a weight-drained shell of a fighter like it was against ODLH.
I dreamt he would. I also had a dream that Pacquiao and Mosley will fight and that in the ninth round Manny is up by a point.
