    manny is strong as hell at the heavier weight, but i dont know that he's gonna knock anyone out with one punch. all i can say is, the guy's a little pit bull, if he starts hitting harder than he has been with the speed he has he's going to be unstoppable at 140 and below.

    Hatton KOed Castillo with a single punch, I guess he has one punch knockout power too at 140 lbs. :bart

    This fight is becoming a mammoth sized fight. I am ready to pay the full price to see this. And I know there will be no disappointments.

    Pacquiao is a vicious fighter. That's all I have to say about him.

    Hatton is a brawler at best, and I don't think he really has the heart to win a big championship fight like this. He will have to prove to me first that he can, before I pick him in fights of this magnitude.

    What is amazing is these guys aren't even HWs, and they're going to give us a KO for sure...and Roach says it could be a ONE PUNCH KO too!!! Incredible!

    There is no hype. I believe Hatton is faster and Manny is stronger. Manny Pacquiao at 130 -135 was having problems making weight and you could see as he went from 130 to 135 his aura in the ring just glowed. At 147 he was a little too small. 140 is the absolute perfect weight for Manny and I think that we will see him better, more powerful than he was at 135, 130, 147. I totally believe the hype because Manny is a freak of nature to begin with.

    I think Floyd has made a difference with Hatton. It seems like he is glowing of confidence and he has never looked more fit. I don't think he has ever been conditioned like this before, so I expect a faster more flowing Hatton in this fight againts Manny.

    All in all I think Manny is too much of a freak to lose this one. The hype comes to life on May 2 and I have a feeling Manny takes this one easy as ever. It could definitely go the other way but my gut really has me believing the Pacquiao camp and I say Pac ko early rounds.

    I have come and gone with my prediction, Hatton is a handsome bet, as the outsider... he definitely can stop Manny to the body!!! He has been stopped before to the body and in training Roach and Moore have been concerned with Hatton's left hook and so they should be. Pacquiao is a fantastic boxer and he looks good in training (damn good) but I feel that Hatton wants it more, I met him in Bristol recently and the way he is talking he is confident... I'll go for Hatton stoppage rounds 4 to 6.

    Just more of what we already know.

    Manny has the ability to hurt Hatton. Hatton has the ability to hurt Manny.

    I dont think he is developing one punch knock out power I think he was born with that, I just think that he is using better footwork and balance which is what makes all the difference in your shots.

    He does have the power of the guys at 140 and 147 sure, but can he take shots from guys who hit equally as hard? that is the question and I am going to be the first to say no he wont be able to stand and trade with Hatton like he has other fighters not if he expects to win.
