    If you had to put £/$500 of your hard earned cash on Hatton or Pac, at 140 now, who would you choose?

    Answer, seriously. I'd sort of count myself as a fan of Hatton, but I think if I had to chose now, I'd put the £500 on Pac. How about you?

    *Odds for both fighters being even*

    Probably Pac. Ricky's a beast at LWW but Pac looked quick and strong last night. Could end up changing my mind tho.

    if the odds were even i agree i would slightly favour pac and put my money on him, but if i could get odds of slightly better than evens i'd put my money on hatton.

    Hatton. He looked great against Paulie who is young and in his prime. Pacman looked great against a shot DLH. Hatton's win was bigger as Paulie was a better opponent at this stage of their careers. Plus, Hatton would present a bunch of stylistic problems for Pacman.

    Would like to see the fight. Fan of both guys. Fans would win regardless!

    Question makes no sense without odds.

    Hatton, just.

    If Floyd sr thinks he can do the job, it is good enough for me.

    Is this the same Floyd Sr who said Oscar wouldn't have to train hard or learn much from his trainers for the Pacquiao fight because he was simply too big to lose to Manny?

    Speed kills. Pacquiao knocks Hatton out late.

    Remember this post: Hatton has ZERO punch resistance left and Manny will KO him brutally within 4 Rounds. Ill bet TONS of money on it when the fight is made, regardless of the odds.

    I would go with who is the underdog, an if it was even, but held in england, i go for hatton, but in america i got to favor pac-man, so put my money on him.......but for what it worth it not cause of his beat down of a shot gold chasing golden boy, but the diaz fight, that was somthing, a game fighter who wanted to win but just could't beat him,,hatton holds alot, an i think hatton would be to slow to put his hands on him to hold......but it could go either way.

    This is a great subtle observation..I have the same feeling about Rickys ability to absorb punishment like this. He'll eat alot of leather, hes fast but PACs speed as Nacho Berestein puts it is in a different level..Power punches speed..no pitty pats

    Manny did fantastically well last night, but styles make fights and I think at 140 Ricky poses a completely different challenge to the shell that was De La Hoya yesterday.

    Either way, a great fight that I definitely want to be present for, especially if its in front of 100,000 at Wembley. It will be the first time the Man City fans have been there for a few years (only joking...)
