    It will be a war. I cant (dont want to) see this going to a decision. I havent analyzed the fight yet but ill go out on a limb and say Pac by ko rnd 10.

    If its anything above 143, then its 50-50 probably by Pac knockout. If its at 140, then Hatton ko by 8 rounds.

    to me this is not a superfight. Hatton doesn't qualify at this point. Although he has the following, he hasn't proven to have that type of quality.

    Good thing that he is the naturally bigger fighter. Thats what gets me excited about this one.

    For me, JMM vs Pac III is more of a superfight than Pac vs Hatton

    well your about the 5% who don't think this is a superfight. hattons the man at 140 and there styles guarantee an exciting fight.

    I suppose it depends on how rigid a view of the term 'superfight' you have.

    No, Hatton is not good enough to make this in the Hagler-Leonard or Whitaker-Chavez category of superfights, that much is true. Nor is this fight as significant as a Pacquiao-Mayweather clash would be.

    However, when you consider that:

    - Both men are currently in the p4p top 10
    - Hatton is The Ring lww champ, undisputed best in the division, and Pac is the p4p#1
    - Pac is the biggest star in the sport right now and Hatton has the most fans
    - Judging by their styles and attitudes, this will be a thriller

    Then I personally have no issue with calling this a SUPERFIGHT!

    R u kidding? This IS a superfight for real boxing fans. This fight actually MATTERS in the P4P rankings. Yeah, imagine that. Got that HBO? No more Jones/Calzaghe or Pacman/DLH.

    this is the only credible fight qualifying for the term superfight. this is the main course in the next five months as far as i am concerned.

    no other fight scenarios would come close. and stop these pac-margo or pac-cotto delusions. those fights are designed to lure pac to a trap, against prime WW which is really way above his fighting weight

    I think PAC now would give PBF a very good exciting match. Manny has really improved. I think PAC MAN is better than ZAb Judah. Judah and PAC r both very talented, but Manny Pac gots grit and mental stability.

    You guys are really pissing on HBO here.

    I really like seeing the following......

    Quality fighter vs Contender II loser
    Two quality fighters vs two gatekeepers - on the same card (instead of fighting each other) and leaving the gatekeepers
    P4P'er vs shot opponent
    Shot opponent vs shot opponent
    Meaningless catchweight fights

    Is it just me, or are those amazing :lol:

    Morales-Pac I could had been a KO win for Pac if not for a cut-causing headbutt suffered by Pac in a mid round.
    Hatton failed to KO a light hitting, one armed Malignagi, the same Hatton will lose badly vs Pac.:yep

    I honestly think Manny takes this rather easily......Ricky will have a lot of trouble with Mannys left handed style and speed.
