Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao

Hatton with a late KO.

 

:good

 

I just watched Marquez vs Pac II and Marquez was able to get to Pac's body and land some hard shots upstairs. Hatton has allot more power than Marquez and I just see Hatton breaking Pac down.

 

Pac by sweet K.O

 

Pac will school Hatton with Harvards degree.

 

I don't know. This is the only time aside from the Mayweather fight that I have doubted his chances.

I think this will depend a lot more on circumstances on the night. Against Mayweather, Hatton was somewhat predisposed to being out-boxed, but here there are a lot more surprise factors.

 

im really suprised at the amount of people going for a hatton ko, i would really want this to happen and for ricky to win, but i really cant see it happening, speed kills and pac will be too fast for ricky in my opinion. my god i know for sure that i cant fooking wait for this one though!!

Pac by clear but competitive ud.

 

hmm says Pacman by high volume punches

I think the biggest factor in this fight is Hatton's jab/half-hook to get inside. If he can time that and close the distance on Pac consistently, it's going to be a rough night for Manny. The next one will be Ricky's ability to counter with body punches. Pac's advantages stem mainly from his foot work, and if he gets his legs taken from him, it's over.

I chose Pacquiao because I think his head movement and hand speed - coupled with the accuracy of his punches, will stop Hatton from doing much on the outside. His timing has gotten better and better, and I see him doing some solid counter punching when Hatton lunges to get him a KO

 

ricky hatton will win this fight

 

The general consensus from pundits, people on this forum, as well as this poll seem to indicate Ricky having a much better chance than the bookmakers odds.

Interesting...
