    Me thinking ODLH was gonna beat Pac has nothing to do with me thinking Pac will beat Hatton. I have since seen Pac carry his speed up to 148lbs, he also appears to be stronger at the weight understandably. My one mistake was thinking Pac was smaller then he really is. He has the style, the speed and the strength to take Hatton apart. He also probably has a longer reach and is about the same height.

    Yeah and Kostya tzu was over the hill and so on so forth... Hattons a monster at 140 and i think the riduculous over hype pf Pac is set up for a fall. It wasnt long ago that the idea of Pac fighting Hatton was laughed at as a mismatch size wise, even though they are similar heights. Now Pac beats an over the hill and sick looking delahoya and he is the second coming.

    Marquez pushed him real close and looked the better boxer at times. iDaz was not in his league. I like Pac alot and really admire what he has achieved, but Hatton is too strong for him and will hunt after him and cut off the ring. Its funny how malignaggi was going to outslick him untill he felt the right hand and was outslicked by the overrated hatton and suddenly its mallignaggi was overrated.

    Hatton beats Pac.

    The only thing Hatton posses that would worry Pacquiao is body punching. Thats it. He cant KO him with head shots or outbox Pacquiao. Hatton aint a boxer. Hell I think Pacquiao is more of a boxer than Hatton but at the end of the day the hand speed will be the difference in the fight like when Hatton faced Floyd. Pacquiao will probably KO him in the later rounds.

    I bet money that Pac would beat DLH by knockout. Felt his speed and aggression would be too much for the part time boxer.
    Pacman would give Hatton a few early troubles but would get knocked out by the much stronger Hatton. Hatton goes to the body beautifully...

    Hatton doesn't have that many more fights left in him - so he's going after the money.

    I don't think he'll be able to deal with Hatton's speed and his aggression won't help him either.

    It's an interesting fight - but I'm taking Pac-Man.

    Wouldnt be too sure about that, I think this could go either way.

    If Pac-man can handle the natural size of Hatton then I think he takes this one as he has the more varied skillset but if his punches have no effect & Hatton uses controlled aggression like vs Malignaggi then I think Ricky takes a close one.

    You might say well, if Pac-man can stop DLH, he should stop Hatton but personally, I think Hatton would stop DLH on the night Pac beat him.

    All in all, I lean towards Pac on points... but destroy Hatton ?.... NO !

    Hatton isnt gonna bully Pacquiao. He will be too fast for him. You cant hold what you cant catch.

    the urango fight he won easily. urango may be seen in a different light inb a few fights time.

    it was a ko against castillo not a tko, no one else had ever ko'd him.

    mayweather beat him very descively but didn't destroy him.

    lazcano was a very clear win, and it's crap to say he was nearly ko'd, he was buzzed, it's boxing that happens sometimes.

    he beat malignaggi more clearly than cotto did, barely losing a round. he was hardly throwing because he tasted a big punch in the 2nd and hatton was beating hi9m to the punch.

    hatton is the lineal champ at 140, and hasn't come close to losing at 140, only losing once to mayweather at a higher weight. why shouldn't people say he's ready for pac.

    before fighting oscar most people favoured hatton to beat pac. as good aas pac was against oscar, hatton won't stand still waiting to be hit, and he'll be throwing back a lot. we don't even know how pac will handle a tough fighter 140lb'er like hatton, because oscar barely landed a punch. it;s a very competitive match up and would make a greeat fight.

    he's probably ready, and it will be entertaining, but Hatton's style will not allow him a win on this one. pac has a 2 inch reach advantge, his speed is far superior, his in and out movement can get him out of any scuffles with Hatton, and he's been hit with punches as hard as hatton's before.
    it woud be entertaining, but i think hatton would be fairly trounced.
    i like 'em both, but more of a hatton fan.
