    Personally I think both have less than 50% chance of winning. Haye has the worst glass jaw but he also packs a better punch so I can see him scoring one lucky shot or getting KO'd in one punch. I would bet Hatton/Pac-Man lasts longer but see both fights ending in KO's.

    Wlad may simply keep Haye off with his jab and then KO him with a good right hand or left hook. I see Haye trying for the KO quick but if he doesn't get it I see him in trouble. I think his stamina will be a problem after 5 rounds if he doesn't land one perfect punch. I suppose his best chance is for Wladimir to get shook up by having a live and aggressive opponent.

    I have heard a lot of talk of how Ricky Hatton boxed so much better against Malignaggi. Fighting someone as feather fisted as Paulie is a whole different thing than fighting Pac-Man. The big question for me is Ricky going to be able to really stick to anything Mayweather Sr has taught when he gets in the ring with someone who has the speed and power of Pac. Will he revert to wrestling and mawling when he feels Pac-Mans power or will he keep his compsure and mix boxing with fighting? Pac will no doubt be able to box or fight. His skills are proven to have increased greatly in recent years. One big factor to look out for is head-butts in this fight. You have one orthodox fighter and lone lefty and if it turns onto a war head-butts could lead to a cut on either fighter which could change the complexion of the whole.

    That's my take for now until my official breakdown and predictions later in the year. What's you're opinions, thoughts?

    He hung tough with Cotto.

    I say Haye has a 50/50 chance to beat Wlad, and Hatton has a 40/60 chance of beating Pacman.

    I'm gonna say Haye has a 25/75 chance because I don't know if he can take a real HW punch and if he can actually get to Wladimir's chin.

    I give Hatton 35/65 at the moment but that could change one way or another as I analyze the fight in more detail.

    Haven't you heard or read some of the latest interviews of Hatton where he said Manny is his stepping stone or his meal ticket?...

    Hayes only chance is if Vladdy has another panic attack and starts flopping on the canvas like a dying fish.The Hatton-Pac fight is 60/40 in Pacs favor.

    Hatton's only chance at victor is if Pac pulls a Roy Jones and Hatton plays his Tarver

    but Haye has the Power to KO wlad in 1 shot, and he also has the speed to land it, so i'd say at the very least, Haye has the true punchers chance at victory

    I could not stand to hear Hatton Maniacs if Ricky pulled a Tarver with one lucky punch.

    Why on earth is Manny favoured against Hatton? It's Hatton who's cleared out his division, never lost there, is naturally bigger and only lost to Floyd Mayweather at an uncomfortable weight for him. Pacquiao fought David Diaz at lightweight, who was by far the weakest of the champs there, and he fought De La Hoya at Welterweight who turned out to be a walking corpse. We've yet to see Manny really challenged above Super Featherweight yet.

    I also think Wladimir takes Haye via knockout.
