    "Hatton has a good punch and he’s fast,” Morales, who fought three classic fights against Pacquiao in 2005 and 2006, was quoted by Mexican paper Esto as saying.

    “I can bet you that he wins,” said Morales

    “At 140 pounds, I think Hatton is too strong for Manny. He’d put too much pressure on Manny,” said Palomino, who lost his welterweight crown to Wilfred Benitez via a 15-round decision in 1979.

    and we all know that this absolutely means nothing. you want me to list all the fighters who picked de le hoya? this far from the match, it will be incredibly hard to pick a winner. the fight is 5 months away. their training will give us better perspectives

    Morales isn't picking Hatton because he wants him to dish out a KO defeat to Pac?

    By any chance......

    I thought Morales was good friends with Pac, would've expected him to pick Manny. Oh well, it means nothing. I'm sure he'll be rooting for him.

    i dont think friendship had nothing to do with actually picking who he thinks will win a fight. I'd pick Manny to beat up my cousin who's 185 lbs... but yeah, i'm sure he'll be rooting for Manny:good

    Pacquaio will wreck Hatton, Hatton shouldn't have called himself the Manc Mexican because now he'll be the latest victim of the mexicutioner. Seriously Pac does everything better

    Na, him & Pac are friends these days, its just his opinion as to who he THINKS will win.

    Im sure Erik will cheer for manny, especially when he sees MAB in Ricky`s corner.

    Many were boxers picked DLH to beat Manny Pac and Mayweather. Many picked Cotto to defeat Margarito. Come fight night this means nothing.
