    I hope Freddie is right, because if Ricky lands bodyshots it will mean trouble for Manny, Ricky is a fearsome bodypuncher at 140. I must admit, I do think Manny's speed and movement will make it very hard for the Hitman to hit to the body, but surely Ricky will land at one stage. It's another ingredient that makes for a fascinating and thrilling fight.

    If Pacquiao dominates Hatton and stops him earlier than Mayweather did, will you remove any of those smiley faces?

    I just think that the majority of esb are still dillusioned by the Pacquiao hype train.
    The longer the fight goes I say Pacman, early I say Ricky.
    Ricky will get cut for sure
    Then again I think Ricky will bully him.

    It doesn't matter.. Floyd is better.

    Manny has the better resume of course and has took risk after risk, I like the guy. Purely from a boxing perspective Floyd is superior.

    Absolutely not.

    Styles make fights, and Manny Pacquiao is not as good as Floyd when considering all factors, irrespective of goes on against Hatton.

    For what it's worth, Manny isn't going to stop Ricky. :good

    :lol:

    Ya, but to be fair... I don't think Freddy trained him to throw that flying knee with his hands down... like an idiot!!!

    Before that, Arlovski was actually doing great with his boxing.

    roach is virtually brain-dead. hatton is going to land plenty on pac. pac is not and never has been a defensive fight and he is not strong enough to keep hatton off him.

    It must be reasuring having Roach in your corner coming up with a gameplan after watching 20 tapes on your opponent and worrying for a Hatton fan, Hatton isn't going to be a different fighter under Floyd Snr but I still predit he will be too much for Manny and stop him, I don't know when. Hatton has underrated boxing skills and is very good at what he does best at 140.

    I too agree that Pac is better than Floyd. Even JMM is better than Floyd but Floyd is the best when it comes to defense!

    Pac is not as talented as floyd, but the effort he puts into his fights makes him a better fighter

    PAc comes to fight unlike Floy who comes to counter. Pac needs to do a Floy or else, if he stood infront rickay it could be over. Floy is smart. I think May is better than P-money. And Pac must do a Floy.

    I think at this point the debate it very close. Alot depends on how pacquiao beats hatton. I dont mean if he wins by decision or by stoppage rather how ineffective he makes hatton at doing what he does best.

    The fight for me will be a true gauge of a couple of things. Pacs ability to takes shots from a 140lber. Pacs physical strength in the clinches. Pacs speed at 140 and pacs power at 140. Ive said one thing from the begining and that is what if pacquiao can hurt hatton with his punches, i believe if that happens this fight if going to be over quickly.
