    There's no doubt in me liking Pac to win (I'm a Pac fan too :D), I'll pick him over the rest of the 135 pounders even though I see it as 50/50 fights . . . but you see we have to stop being a fan sometimes in order to come up with a logical pick . . . after all . . . we are talking of 140 pound division here if the fight comes off. :yep

    I like Pacquiao because Hatton was shook by a lightweight in Lazcano and I believe Pacquiao has more power than him not to mention is way faster then him as well. I agree though it's a 50/50 fight. :hi:

    I rememeber thinking he was hurt, which is why I looked up the RbR.

    1:14, he is not badly hurt. But he is clearly hurt, does not through any shots back and protects the area.

    LOL, I loved the way he smiled at him like what Margarito does.:yep Yeah, I agree, he was stunned a bit but not really hurt. I still like Pacquiao over Hatton though because I think he has the power to hurt him and Hatton's chin is weak. :bbb

    Hatton's chin aint weak. Because a fighter gets hurt does not mean his chin is weak.

    Pac plays right into Hatton's hands. If/when Hatton beats Paulie, which he will i think. Then it depends on if Hatton gets his confidence back to brimming, like he was before Mayweather. If he does, he will ragdoll Pac about the place.

    In fairness if Pac wanted I think he could stick and move in and out but I do not think he will also Hatton hits so much harder to the body than any other fighters that Manny has fought it is untrue.

    I think the fight will be competitive but, eventually the bigger stronger Hatton will wear Manny down a bit and if Ricky connects to the body at some point, which odds are over 12 he will, Manny will not get up.

    That is what I was thinking. I think he can do that against Hatton. I think Pacquiao has the faster hands and he showed he can box in his last fight. I think if Pacquiao uses lateral quickness and uses his superior speed he can win. Combos and move out of the way will be Pacquiao's best bet.:bbb

    Pacquiao struggles with boxers and Ricky clearly isn't one that was my point. :smoke

    2005 Ricky Hatton vs. Pacman = Hatton wins
    2008 Ricky Hatton vs. Pacman = Pacman KO

    imo

    Pacman walks through Hatton and stops him faster than PBF did
