Whoa, fellas, c'mon! Hatton v Pac was almost 2 years ago.

Let it go!

Pac-Man is great and exciting to watch but barely getting by Marquez and two human punching bags does not make him P4P #1. P4P is supposed to be how fighters would do against each other if they were the same size, not just in ring accomplishments. In this case, Hopkins, Mosley, and Calzaghe would beat him. So #4 is probably the right ranking for Pac-Man. (he's 3 on my list now).

With that said, Hatton is tailor-made for Pac. Hatton won't box for long like he did against feather-fisted Paulie. As soon as he gets tagged by a Pac power-shot he will turn into a brawler, get careless and rush in like against Floyd. Hatton's weight fluctations will catch up with him this time as he will look like a skelton at the weigh-in again.

Even glass-hand Paulie put a mouse under Hatton's eye. That's a sign of the weight loss catching up to him as fighters bruise easier after huge weight-loss. Judging by recent pictures Ricky looks to be up around his usual 180 again.

Another reason Hatton will try to wrestle Pac is because he only has a 20 inch reach, about 3 inches less than Pac. Pac will use his superior foot work to stay off the ropes (the only place Hatton will have much affect) and step to Hatton's side while throwing brutal straight-lefts and right-hooks.

Ricky's face will quickly resemble ODLH's from taking huge shots combined with having to lose 40 pounds in training. Floyd Sr will be throwing in the towel or Ricky will be kissing canvas as he rushes in just like against Floyd except it will be a right-hand check-hook instead of a left one that catches him this time.

This will set Pac up for a super-fight with Sugar Shane or Floyd. Only if Pac beats one of them will he be undisputed P4P King! One more thing. Ricky, try and miss the ring post this time. This will be the out-come but the fight will be exciting in the early rounds. The only bad thing will be Hatton's fans making all that noise they call singing and distracting me. That's all for now.:rasta

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.
