Hatton vs Pac won't even be close.

Hatton is in the habit of holding his hands low and often opening his guard as the fight drifts into the later rounds.

While there is no doubt in my mind that Mayweather will attempt to correct this mistake, (especially considering he mentioned that he would have told Oscar to keep his hands together), it is unlikely that Hatton will follow through with that plan for the duration of the fight.

Even in Hatton's fight with Malinaggi, as early as the first round his hands fell below his chin and he was being hit with Malinaggi's weak punches.

Fortunatelly, Malinaggi had no right hand, and Hatton only had to worry about blocking his jab and throwing the hook as Malinaggi is also in the habit of not picking up his right hand fast enough to avoid hooks.

Pac's versatility in combination with his hands up, tight defense, headmovement, and explosive, straight punching will tag Hatton all night.

And Pac throws his punches with intent to hurt his opponent which in combination with Pac being on his toes for the majority of the fight, will allow him to move out of the way quickly and readjust.

Hatton will find it very difficult to close the distance on Manny especially considering Manny's southpaw stance, and Manny will be able to punch Hatton coming in, and then occasionaly land a roundhouse left to Hatton's body.

Hatton may find a bit of success in the begging of the fight considering his size and ability to push Pac around, but he'll find it increasingly harder as Manny's sharp punches bust Hatton the way in and his body attack slows Hatton down.

Hatton will eventually just have to resort to trying to maul Pac which will result in Pac throwing blisteringly fast and ESPECIALLY accurate combinations on the inside, eventually leaving Hatton a shell of who he was before the first round began.

Hatton will obviously attempt to land the left hook, but Pac, in a simliar plan against Oscar will circle away from it, and Ricky will still have a lot of trouble catching Manny with his right because Manny will be leading with his left, or countering the slower Ricky's right with his left all night long while simeltaneously leaning to his right and out of the way of Ricky's right hand.

Ricky is a good fighter, but Pac's speed, precision, and agility will be too much.

I expect Ricky to eventually quit on his stool or the ref to intervene sometime after round 7.

Hopefully Mayweather and Mosley fight to set up a superfight between PAC and Mayweather/Mosley.

this will end inside 12. no way for UD. both are warriors

SOUTHERMOST · Feb 16, 2009

Ricky slow, I think he cuts the ring very fast ask Paulie no body question his chin after 12 hard rounds vs Cotto, Ricky hurt him few times with single punches don't be surprised if this fight end faster than you think.

paulie was nver the same after the cotto fight. If the paulie that fought cotto showed up against hatton. It would have been a different story. Pac by KO..:bbb

Hatton KO 8

this will be a closer fight than ppl suggest. but it can also end up as a blow-out with the speed, punch accuracy and explosiveness of pac. hopefully, floyd sr. can improve hatton enough in a short span of time to make this fight close and competitive. imo, this is a 60/40 fight in favor of pac. pac will follow a roach-devised game plan and win via TKO/KO 9.

Think about these factors:

1. Hatton fought KT. Who hits harder, KT or Pac? Be serious! Technically, I would say KT is a better boxer than Pac, based on his strong amateur record and his professional fights. The KT that fought Hatton was not prime, but his power was still decent and he just couldn't get Hatton off him, with a little help (no excuses) from the ref.
2. Pac has fought most of his career (43/45 bouts) at or below 130. Then he fought Diaz at 135 and then Oscar at 145.
3. ODLH was a shell of his previous "greatness". He had even diminished significantly since fighting against PBF.
4. Hatton is one big and mean m--f--ka at 140. He has stated in the past that no-one can beat him there, although I tend to think PBF could do it.

Hatton will eat some of Pac's shots, but Pac won't like Fatton's body attack inside the range of his big left.

Yeah I'll say this in hatton's defence: Hatton changed the Malignaggi fight with one punch in the second round. Up until that point Paulie was fighting a very good fight. Paulie is probably tougher then Manny interms of initial punch restance. But ask yourself 1) is getting hit like that going to change Manny pacquiao's game plan the way it did Paulie's - probably not. And 2) is Manny going to get hit with that shot - maybe. Thats why they fight the fights right.

The converse is of course that Manny flattened Diaz with a 6 inch punch. Granted David was alreaddy softened up quite a bit but Manny didn't use power punches to get him to that point it was all about the speed and volume. So another thing to consider is that Manny was able to really soften Diaz up with regular shots and still have a whole **** load load of power against a big tough guy like Diaz.

HAtton won`t be that bad this time,it was fact that his chest infection problems showed in training for the Urango fight.

You don't know ****. He out boxed David Diaz, a master boxer in his own right. And don't forget when he put on a clinic against the weight drained Oscar last time out. Just erase the Two Marquez fights and the 1st Morales fight, and not only is Pacquiao a master boxer, he's the greatest of all time.

How do you propose we erase those fights? Sign a petition and send to boxrec?
