    Floyd KTFO of Hatton. Floyd ruined Hatton making easy work for Pac-Man. Hatton will get stopped in 4 rounds.

    Wow, he has never seen anything close to Pac? You're nuts:dead So you don't think ODLH was shot or weight-drained? You're dumber than a rock!:nut

    You obviously do not know much. Fighters weigh-in at the limit (or under) and for a half hour or less, that is the only time they weigh that amount. If you don't understand this then you are truly one of the dumbest people here. Correction, you have to be just for even thinking that ODLH would weigh almost the same on the night of the fight as at the weigh-in any previous fights!

    ODLH is a bit overrated but the version of him from 4 or 5 years ago would never have gotten "beat down" by Pac. Age and weight would not have been a problem and it would have been a totally different fight. A faded Morales controlled Pac based mostly on his jab and ODLH had a great jab when he could still pull the trigger. One of Pac's flaw even now is getting frozen by a good jab which leaves him open to punches behind it. When Marquez worked the jab often enough in their last fight he controlled those rounds.

    pac that morales fought the first time is a lot different from this current version of pac. i'm not saying that pac is going to win against the oscar of 2003, but to compare pac-em 1 to the result of pac (current version) vs oscar (of 2003) is wrong, imo. oscar might win this fight but its not a walk in the park

    Hatton Vs Lazcano was the most horrible fight ever! When I saw it I had no doubt in my mind that Hatton was past his prime and I chose Malignaggi to ko Hatton (a lot in saying seeing as Malignaggi is a featherfisted fighter); but Hatton surprised me in beating Paulie.

    Its hard to expect what Hatton will come up to fight PAC but if its Hatton from the KostyaZu fight (or better than, as Hatton has said) I can see Hatton winning by a late stoppage easily. Hard to call. . . All in all it will be a great fight.

    If Pacquiao isn't #1 then who is?, Marquez?, a guy Pacquiao already beat and has a resume FAR(not even close) better than?

    Pacquiao is doing what he's supposed to and if you don't approve of his opponents then you're either blind or foolish. Moving up two weights in a fight people laughed at and called Pac "greedy" for taking as all expected to see him hit the canvas and as early as the first or even third round(s) isn't someone who fights human punching bags.

    Pacquiao is the only fighter active right now with the best resume with no one coming close.

    I know Pac is a much improved fighter but Pac still has had problems even recently with this type a fighter (one that uses a good jab) meaning, Marquez, but Marquez could not keep it on Pac the whole fight. ODLH had one of the better jabs in boxing back then so it would be a competitive fight versus the current version of Pac. I was this making a point to the poster that there's no way Pac would have tore through any previous version of ODLH that easy like he was claiming is all.

    Paul was not really capable of doing anything in the Hatton fight to give Ricky problems though and Malignaggi had not looked very good in a few previous fights so I don't think we can have any idea of where Hatton is based on that fight. I personally feel Hatton has been on a slow decline since the Tszyu fight. We'll see but even Freddie Roach said he thinks the Mayweather fight took something out of Hatton. Paulie is just too feather fisted to bother Hatton one bit. We'll see how much of that win, if any had something to do with a better Hatton or just a bad opponent on May 2nd. Hatton did bring out the best in Floyd and hopefully that happens with Pac to make a good fight but I see Pac dominating him.

    Honestly, I have believed all along that Pacquiao will beat Hatton soundly via KO. The more I think about it the more I believe it will not just be a dominant performance but a massacre. I mean a vicious beat down of Hatton in every way. People favoring Ricky it seems are basing a Hatton win mostly on the idea they believe Hatton is stronger and will muscle Pac-Man around. I do not believe Hatton will be stronger. Along with the improvement of Pac's all around boxing ability I think fighting at the weight Pac has fought at in his last 2 fights has made him much stronger. The speed will kill and Pac is just as strong at this point in his career as Hatton is. I am dead serious. Pacquiao via Massacre! I'll be surprised if it goes past 6. I cannot find or think of one thing Hatton does better or will have an advantage in.

    I'm wondering. This would the Pac-Man's 4th win in 4 weight classes in 4 straight fights. 130, 135, 147, 140. I know Armstrong and Paul Williams won 3 consecutive fights in 3 different weight classes. Has anyone done it in 4 consecutive fights in 4 different weight divisions? And I mean all different divisions not like 140, 147, 140 or something like that.

    how i wish that this fight will end the way you think :good

    i know that you're a big fan of valero, what's your take on valero against hatton? would it be the same as pac/hatton? i like valero, he's very exciting (i like aggresive fighters) but i'm not sold on him yet coz he's still unproven.

    I believe Valero could beat Hatton as well because like Pac, Valero would be just as strong as Hatton. Pac might be more tactical in a fight with Hatton than Valero, where as Valero just might go right at Hatton from the start because he might be strong enough to push Hatton around. The fight would probably look similar to Pac/Hatton in many ways. Pac and Valero are both south paws with a lot of speed and power and both have very developed right hands, although Edwin is about as powerful with either hand. I see the main difference between Pac and Valero fighting Hatton as that Pac would move in-and-out with quick countering and leads lefts before he went in for the kill and Valero would be the aggressor from the start. I know Valero will be looking more polished in his fight saturday though as he has been especially working on jabbing his way in more to set up his other punches and now he will be fighting better fighters, plus he does not get a 100K bonus for first round KO's like he did in Japan...lol..which is a big reason he looked wild in a lot of fights even though he has good boxing ability. Valero varies his jab to the body more than Pac and his left hand but I see similarities in Pac and Valero.
