Hatton Or De La hoya

he'll put up a far better fight. DLH was shite on saturday, a shadow of his former self .

 

i agree that's a good point. although hattons not a power puncher he hits hard, especially to the body, and throws lots of them. and we don't know how pac will deal with punches at a higher weight, becuase oscar hardly threw any. hatton won't just stand in the centre of the ring waiting to be hit either like oscar, he'll be taking the fight to him.

without taking anything away from pac, because his performance was amazing, oscar really did look dreadful.

 

lol, he's 45-1 you can hardly say he doesn't have a chin. ko'd against mayweather, down against magee and wobbled badly against collazo. that's hardly the making of not having a chin. he's been in with much bigger punchers than pac, although pac does throw a lot of punches.

 

No, the fight against Hatton will be much more competitive.

 

id say 60-40 in favour of pac. good fight

 

Unless Hatton improves his d, he's going to get tagged a lot. It's seeing whether he takes those punches well or not. On the other hand though, Hatton is a come forward fighter who actually has good footwork and pounces on you unpredictably and plus it is unknown whether Pac likes body punches or not.

 

I'd favour Hatton in this one.

A lot of people underestimate his speed, he isn't slow and cumbersome. He'll try walking Pacquiao down to an extent and if Pacquiao can't force him back or use his footwork to circle away (as he'll probably be constantly pressured) then the stronger and more powerful man has to be favoured IMO.

I'm still not convinced about Pacquiao at 140 or 147, would gladly be proven wrong though.
