    Pacquiao will beat Hatton's ass badly, and he has a good chance against Mayweather too. Its not more than 60/40 in Mayweather's favour at this stage.

    As someone who clearly has a bit of knowledge I think you are over-reacting to the weekends events (or on a wind up as per)

    Did you think he would beat Hatton and maybe Floyd before Saturday? Or has Pacman's performance substantially changed your opinion of his ability at higher weights?

    No.

    I picked Pacquiao to beat Hatton before this fight. I picked him to beat De La Hoya too, unlike many numpties.

    I think he was a good chance against Mayweather, I'm not saying he'll win it for certain but there are scenarios whereby I see him winning a decision.

    This isn't a 50/50 fight. Pacman is far too quick and accurate for Hatton, he would cut Hattons face to shreds.

    so he beats DLH,and now he is one of the hardest punches and best p4p boxer in the world,pacman wasent even hit with one power shot.
    get of the bandwaggon will all you hatton haters,if you all think hatton will be a sitting target like DLH,you know **** alL.DLH stopped the fight so he wouldent get hurt,ie brain damage,the doc asked him if he had a headache for ****s sake,they wernt picking him up off the floor after a bad knockout.pacman aint no knockout artist at welter or lightwelter,he will struggle with hattons strengh and power,its defo 50/50

    I would love to see this fight, If Hatton were to improve further under Mayweather he could give Pac problems. I am not sure he would win, I would say 60/40 in Pac's favour. But I reckon it would be a great fight.

    Don't go overboard with the DLH win?

    Okay, I guess Ricky Hatton beating a career 135 in Juan Lazcano was way more impressive, esp when Ricky was out on ***** street at the end of the fight against a guy who was not known as a great puncher at 135 let alone 140. Yeah that is way better.

    Oh maybe his hellacious beating of Paulie? In which Paulie "I can't break an egg with my hand cause my right hand would break first" Malignaggi was standing there clear eyed as day. Yeah, that was way more brutal.

    Is Hatton bigger? Really? Hatton and Pac are the same height, Pac has a longer reach! Pac regularly walked into the ring at 146-147 even when he fought at 130-135. So how is Hatton so much bigger? I mean besides Hattons walk around weight in which he balloons up to Marlon Brando/Chris Farley size.

    Is Hatton a bigger puncher? Who has he knocked out in last 3 years besides JLC, and if you want to talk about someone being shot talk about JLC who survived against two nobodies before fighting Hatton, now there is a guy who was shot.
    Paulie wasn't f'd up.
    Urango acted like he had flies around him the whole night rather than Hatton punching him.
    Callazo was the one who was doing the damage in their fight.
    And Lazcano did more damage to hatton than the other way around, and Lazcano is "smaller" guy. Hmmmm...

    So Hatton is the same height, he hasn't knocked anyone out (I mean f'ed them up) within the last 3 years besides just as shot if not more shot than this version of DLH, JLC. And Hatton has been hurt numerous times in recent fight even getting KTFO. Why is Hatton favored again? I mean besides having pride in your countrymen and rooting for that person to win. Cause that is understandable, but stated as such.

    Hatton is gonna bum rush Pac and Pac is just gonna stand there? Cause you know Pac's feet are so slow, he never step to the side and he waits there for his opponents to set their feet so that they can tee off on him, that led footed Pacquiao. Besides stepping to the side and counter punching Hatton's rush has never worked, ask Floyd.

    Seriously, all the pro hatton qualification for an advantage is actually for someone like Margarito, not Hatton. Hatton is not bigger than Pac, not stronger than Pac, def not faster than pac, Hatton chin has been dented many times, and Pac has shown to be way better puncher than Hatton.

    I say just state, Hatton is from UK, I live or am from UK so I am rooting and hoping he wins. Cause that is actually logical.

    Lazcano had been at 140 for years mate.

    And had anybody said it was 'more impressive' than Manny against Oscar?

    You just invented that whole argument and then went on a rant about it - you crazy fool.

    When a man spends 11 of his 13 years at a certain weight then he is a career is at defined at that weight. That's what Juan is.

    Did you read the very first sentence? The point was what did Hatton do recently to make him the favorite against Pac cause Hatton supporters seems to be saying DLH win has caused undeserving Pacman fever. Notice I started off with "Don't overboard with DLH win?" Juan fight was brought up to provide an argument that even if DLH was shot, what Pac did was way more impressive than anything Hatton has done since Kosta fight.

    Hatton supporters are saying Pac beat a washed up DLH and Hatton would be a different matchup. Okay well I am telling you what Hatton has done recently and why he won't provide any difficulty for the Pacman cause while DLH migh not be in his prime, Hatton donesn't seem to be in his either. Comprende?

    Not only has Hatton never lost at 140, he's never came close to losing there.

    To suggest Pacquiao, a "career" flyweight-super featherweight, will beat him with ease is nonsense.

    It would be a good fight. I'd pick Hatton.
