Pacquiao-Hatton: Which one of these would be the first to break down?

Pac's body/stamina. This only happens late in the fight after he is worn down.

I think Hatton's chin would go first if he were to lose. Highly doubt he would become exhausted because he was still pretty active in that 10th round against Floyd.

 

Pacs chin - Hatton tko 6

 

I'm a big fan of both fighters. So no bias from me. I voted hitmans chin.

But this one is going the distance .

Because:

A) hitman's gonna bring something new and surprise pacman
B) Pacman 's superior abilities will counter whatever hatton does
C) theres too much at stake if either of them is KO'D
D) if hatton puts up a good performance and isn't KO'd he can claim he won and still go on to fight JMM or Mosely. And hes got khan as well.

There must be twenty quotes from both floyd and ricky indicating theres a plan for less brawlin. However Pacman has the edge on technical ability and thats gonna get him the decision. UD or SD

 

good poll...

 

I went with Manny's stamina. I have serious doubts a cowboy like Freddie Roach is going to instruct Pacquiao to try and out manuever Hatton to the extent that they have indicated - it ain't gonna work for very long, anyway - but that's a different thread, I have to take them at face value as a fan on this one. At least for the purposes of this thread.

I don't expect Pacquiao to generically flame out, just slow down too much for his own good health. Defensive style boxing is far more taxing than offensive style. Don't believe me? Watch Hopkins in 10, 11, and 12 against Calzaghe, and then watch him in 10, 11, and 12 against Pavlik. Do the same for the mid rounds of Mosley/Cotto and Mosley/Margarito. Strictly stamina.

Pacquiao is going to burn his mental and physical fuel trying to fend Hatton off at every moment he isn't attacking himself, at extremely accerlated rate, and it's going to slow the speed of his legs just enough to be fatal against this particular opponent. Hatton fights 3 minutes of each round at sustained intensity, all 12. Pacquiao has never truly held that rate, and it's going to be disasterous for him on Saturday.

 

People are really underestimating Hatton's boxing ability.

As San Rafael has eluded to on other threads, Hatton lives for drawing the lead from fighters and countering at mid-range.....

I think both are vulnerable to the body..... not sure which one is most though. Probably Pacquiao.... bearing in mind Hatton's left is his signature punch. Not convinced Pac is the greatest body hitter.

 

Pac's body, but his stamina will keep him going for a bit. It will slow his handspeed down, but he might be able to crack Hatton's chin/cut him up before Hatton truly puts him away.

 

hatton's body/stamina - pac tko 10

 

Hattons body/stamina or chin.

his stamina isnt as good as Pacs he was clearly tired against Collazzo and Urango and i cant even remember the last time Pac looked tired in a fight.
also his chin is very suspect a washed up Lazcano almost had him out with one shot.

Hatton is getting KTFO.

 

hatton's chin

pac KO 9

 

Some people make me laugh...Hatton is stopped once in 47 fights by the p4p#1 at the time and all of a sudden he has a suspect chin :-(

 

Someone's Body/Stamina? Too close to call

 

You missed the option of 'Hatton's skin'.
