    Pacquiao has the total package. He has speed, power, defense, a trainer who can setup the perfect gameplan. i dont see how pacquiao loses to ricky hatton.

    people will say hatton will pressure pacquiao the entire fight. that means he will just get hit even more with pacquiao's punches.

    people will say hatton has a iron chin. that means he will just receive enough punches to create a bad cut resulting in stoppage.

    people will say hatton has floyd sr in his corner. well you cant teach a old dog new tricks. even if he does listen to floyd for the first 3 rounds, he will get desperate later on and will go back to using same old tactics.

    pacquiao wins a easy fight either by (T)KO or unanimous decision (most likely by TKO)

    So the thread title was a rhetorical question?

    Sure, Pac hasn't fought a top prime 140lber before.

    this time the added weight may become an issue. he will be fighting at a higher weight with somebody who is actually capable of hitting back unlike de la hoya.

    im having a hard time picking a winner. 50/50 chance either way.

    I have it 50/50. Hatton is a big and strong Jr. Welter. If Pacquiao can't stop him in his tracks he is going to get mauled on the ropes. With Floyd Sr. in Hatton's corner, it should be expected that Hatton will pull new tricks.

    It only takes one punch. Hatton can pull the upset. Anything is possible in this game. I like Pac, though. But, Ricky will have to pick his spots beautifully in order to beat the Pacman.

    This person says Hatton will hold him as soon as he's in holding range, lean on him and volley the shite out of his ribs.

    It ain't boxing but I bet it's effective.

    Ricky is a beast at 140, he a natural jr. welter, pacquiao did pretty good fighting at 147 he's really tough no matter what weight he's in, hatton will bring in good pressure, and don't forget good punching power, pacquiao may have trouble even though pac-man is tough he brings everything in the ring with rouch in his corner he looks unstopable and pac has great experience in the ring with tough guys pac-man by ud.

    Same here, I have it at 50/50 too, based on past performances.

    Anybody know how much Hatton is weighing now? Coz him having new tricks will be come from having more time to learn instead of trying to shed pounds.

    still a tough fight for both fighters. this will be a legacy fight i am sure.
    pacs pinpoint accuracy to hattons brawler style will be an interesting match.
