    On paper this fight might be a lot more even than you expect. They're both the same height at 5' 6.5" with Pacquiao having a reach advantage of 2". Pacquiao's reach is 67" whereas Hatton's reach is 65". They're also both the same age of 29. Pacquiao is 46-3-2 (51 fights total), and Hatton is 43-1-0 (44 fights total). However, where they differ is that Pac will probably be fighting for the first time at 140 lbs. when he faces Hatton. Hatton has fought all his fights at 140 lbs. with the exception of his fight with Collazo and PBF. Both fighters have fought good opponents, but I give Pac an edge on this. Pac has fought the better opponents, and beaten them, of course they were all featherweights.

    So who wins and why? Please vote on the poll :)

    Hatton by stoppage before the 7th round . . . and that's already being kind and considerate to Pacquaio because I'm a Pac fan. :yep

    The fight should never happen since Pac is way too small.

    Hatton by stoppage in the first half of the fight. I'd say the 5th.

    I call them TamPacs. They don't want to see their "favourite fighter get hurt".

    Go watch golf or something.

    OUCH. They're down for the count.

    That's what you call a collective KO.

    Hatton TKO3, Hatton relies of his opponents being weaker than him, and Pacquiao at 140 will be no wear nere as strong as him.

    Pac struggles or gets a gift decision in his last 3 fights vs Featherweights and here we are discussing how he would do vs the best Junior Welterweight in the world although thats like saying Wlad is the toughest Klitschko.

    As in smaller you probably mean body weight since Pac is just taller than Hatton.
