    Bazooka, after the fight let's compare notes on this forum.

    My final prediction is Pacquiao by late round stoppage.

    - see ya

    Some good points man, cant say I disagree too much with them. Hattons right hand isnt thrown very well I agree but he very rarely misses with it if you watch. For being such an ugly shot, it is pretty effective.

    I dont think Manny is as cute as some people are making him out to be though. He isnt that slick a fighter and has been outboxed fairly easily on times. He's no Mayweather in the slickness department so I feel Hatton can get inside qickly and rough him up.

    well, many orthadox fighters struggle against southpaws .... not too mention that Urango and Collazo are both really good fighters.

    You know I havent brought this up because I didnt feel it was very important, I also felt like most would say the old well he was shot line, I know I have used that when discussing Morales Barrera and Oscar.

    But the Tszysu win is also something that should not be over looked, even though KT was past his best, and even though he had a long lay off going in the way Oscar did going in with Manny.

    KT was a very skilled rough fighter to be in there with he knew all the dirty tricks, he had one shot monster power in that right hand. Ricky took this man and fought him at his own game and beat him, he took those shots from Tszysu and kept fighting on through, up until he made the man quit.

    Now even though KT was past his best, IMO he cracks much bigger than Pacquiao, there is no doubt in my mind that if Pacquiao plans on winning its going to have to be on the cards.

    Pacquiao's lead right-hook may be the most effective punch of the whole fight. Hatton's been on ***** street more than once against a south-paw. I think all the punches he's taken in the past will catch up to him. You can say the ODLH fight didn't mean much, but neither did the Malignaggi fight! Paulie was feather-fisted to begin with, and on top of it he barely could throw his right hand. The guy's got 5 career KO's! lol If anybody thinks he can "box" against Pacquiao like he did with Paulie, they're out of their mind! I'm neutral towards both fighters, but I don't see any way Hatton wins, and I think this may be become very brutal for him after 4 or 5 rounds.

    Paulie doesnt mean much? Really cus he cant punch? He did very well with Cotto, the man can box and has quick hands and the reason you should pay attention to this fight is because Hatton did not get hit as much, Hatton dominated every single round and stopped him.

    Cotto when he fought Paulie went the full 12 and the fight was close. You should keep that in mind~ but I think I would rather sit back and watch you all get the shocking of your life.

    Hey, how long has it been since Paulie fought Cotto?:think So Paulie looked great in his last few fights leading up to Hatton and Hatton looked great other than his so-called excellent performance against Paulie since Floyd KO'd him?

    Why don't you tell me something tactical about this fight, and I'll laugh when Hatton eats canvas again. I got nothing against the guy, and Pacquiao is far from my favorite fighter, but you tell me what Hatton can do to bother the current version of Pacquiao. Being stronger or hoping Hatton lands a left-hook to the body (something that was non-existent last time he fought the #1 P4P fighter) is not much to bank on for a Hatton win.

    Honestly debating with you is meaningless your the man who claimed that Taylor would destroy Froch in less than six rounds, So to have a real conversation about the fight this weekend, I will need to discuss that with someone with a bit more common sense.:good

    I am not sure that Hatton will win by a left hook to the body, I actually think he is going to do the damage with a right hand to the chin.
