Just in case Hatton wins....

But we know that if he wins it will be because Pac is above his natural weight class. That much is obvious.

 

There will be excuses, there are always excuses. The weight is going to be the issue if Hatton wins.

I think the size advantage that Hatton gets given is being touted a little too much. He has an inch in height, loses an inch in reach and both are good at putting weight on after the weigh in. We all know that Pac looked sharp at 147 and as he has aged I think under 130 might be a slight struggle for him now he is older.

So I won't agree with the Pacquiao fanboys when they blame it on the weight class, but I'm sure they will.

Whoever loses there will be countless threads full of excuses, blaming all sorts of things, from trainers to age etc etc etc

So thanks for the thread but I don't think it will make an ounce of difference.

 

:good

 

no excuses mate. well some pac fans might post excuses but im not gonna be one of them. besides esb has knowledgeable pac fans and i believe that when pac loses, they will accept it for what it is.

i dont know about the haters. nowadays the fan base of pac has better boxing knowledge than those idiots

btw, you can argue that pac is above his natural weight should he lose...and some people will definitely use that excuse

 

There will be excuses, heck Pac's victories were welcomed by excuses.

Pac's and Ricky's resume will tell the story.

It will be great!

 

Sitting here in London, I agree. He'd also have to beat Mayweather in a rematch to be P4P#1. On the other hand, if Manny wins, then he is P4P#1 until Mayweather makes his next move (ideally a match between the two, but otherwise then things like the manner of victory against Hatton will come into play).

 

This is a fair fight between two guys of similar size. I pick Paq, but if Hatton wins , I'd say he raised his game and beat one of the best guys in the sport.

 

You should have used different choices because A and B are factual , and valid

 

All I can say is no need for this thread.

 

doubt it (im quite sure if not but all of esb are united on the fact that hatton wont become P4P best if he wins) im british but i would have him at a stretch at number 5 if he wins, dont be so critical as to point out that it is just the british claiming he is the best, :silly

 

I think the real boxing fans on here will give them both credit whoever wins. Whatever happens it'll be explosive hatton in 9.

 

I mostly agree... but the reason I did bet on Hatton was BECAUSE of the natural size so it will likely be the REASON as opposed to the EXCUSE.

I agree the excuses need to stop, tho in some cases they are legitimite but it seems like its the thing to do these days, find a reason why a fighter lost rather than see how a fighter won.

What is the movie called, I`ll keep my eyes open for it.
