Hatton - Pac: Ring Magazine Vote

In terms of the fighters.....

Collazo still wants a rematch with Hatton
Paulie is just a moaning *****

I'd be more tempted to listen to Lazcano and Diaz - Lazcano seemed like a decent guy in the run up to the fight, and is most qualified to say how Hatton has been looking (Paulie is still blaming his trainer).

On the flipside, Diaz will be most likely to give an accurate opinion on Pacquiao.

 

You can pretty much ignore 2 out of the 3 that voted for Hatton. Ones a local, the other writes for a mens mag.

Oh, and the other one is Steve Bunce. Make that 3 out of 3!!!!

;O)

 

i think that absurd. pacquiaos never been hit the way hattons going to hit him in this fight, also pac has been ko'd once before with a bodyshot, and hes stepping into the ring now with mr.bodyshot
i think hatton will ko pac in the later rounds, although i wont be suprised if he even does it in the first half of the fight. Hatton will make a nice fine paste out of his ribs and internal organs

 

I wonder what the vote would have been prior to the Diaz fight? I'm convinced people are being too easily swayed by the Diaz and Oscar fights.

 

What's the split like on the Brit forum?

For Froch-Taylor I'm quite surprised that a lot of people have gone for Froch. Only a handful have picked Taylor.

However for Pac-DLH they did a similar thing in Ring Mag and all but two journos picked DLH IIRC.

 

There was one guy on the Brit forum that picked Pac against Oscar but I can't quite remember who. Perhaps he'll remind us (again) later???

 

Yep, peple are overating Pac big time based on Diaz and Hoya, Hatton is a different kettle of fish.

 

He's been living off that pick since then and will continue to do so.

Cheers for that Beeston :good

 

Duke McKenzie has gone with Hatton and he usually makes decent picks. He picked Hopkins to beat Calzaghe. The only Brit guy to do so I think. Shows that he's not biased.

Some guys who really know their stuff have gone with Hatton there.

 

Teddy atlas picked Hatton.

 

Most of them see it as a 50-50 affair.

Rob McCracken launched a pretty scathing attack on Hatton. Here is his pick:

''Pacquiao, easy. Hatton's a fighter, Pacquiao is a box fighter. Hatton is good at what he does, but Mayweather exposed him at that elite, elite level. He's had his day. Malignaggi was useless. He may have a size advantage but I like Pacquiao's workrate. Manny's got tidier as he has got older and fights with smart aggression. I think he will stop him. Hatton's biggest weapon is the tickets he sells. If it weren't for that, they'd have chucked him in with Junior Witter five years ago and their stories could have been reversed''
