    The fly in this ointment is that I'd think given Hatton's between fight weights, a fight with DLH would have happened at 156. Much different Oscar and perhaps a less effective Hatton?

    people said malanaggi would box hattons ears off but that didnt happen. mayweather sr improved hatton A LOT and he'll get him ready for this fight. mayweather will work with hatton on cutting off the ring and forcing pac to fight rickys fight. hatton wont stand infront of pac like delahoya did.

    "I love this fight for Rick. We will dismantle Pacquiao, Guaranteed.” Mayweather sr.

    I believe him

    Malignaggi was and is a one armed fighter with no power to speak of. Comparing him to Pac, if that's what your doing, is ridiculous. To go along with superior movement and power, Pac also is a south paw and considering that Hatton has been hurt by the left in some of his recent fights, I'd say he has more to worry about than Pac does.

    i picked hatton by UD based on paulies shitty performances & losing to herman. many people were expecting the paulie that lost to cotto to show up for how many fights now..

    and wtf are you talking about "mayweather sr improved hatton A LOT?
    i hardly saw any.

    what did you see that many others didnt?

    I agree, comparing Paulie to Pac is like comparing Hatton to Diaz. Pointless.

    not really.

    there are more similiarities to hatton-diaz then paulie-pac.

    There are very few valid comparisions in either pairing. If you feel there are a couple of extra minor ones in Hatton-Diaz then I'm not going to split hairs other than to say both sets of comparisions are essentially pointless when looking at Pac-Hatton.

    Straight mauling, Pac can't hurt Hatton, Ricky by KO

    Thanks. Got a view from both sides. I know TFFP prefers fighters with 'boxing' abilities. But, nothing left for ME than to see how it plays out. As always, I just hope for a good contest that gets settled in the ring.

    Only quality operators like Lazcano can hurt Ricky.

    Let's just hope he ain't got any slippy shoe laces again, eh.

    wasnt comparing pauli to pac. considering that pac has been hurt at 130, I think he's the one needs to be worried bout getting hurt in this fight. and get hurt he will

    Well in all fairness, lazcano does have a much better chin than Pac, I mean he's never been dropped by a Bantamweight :good

    :lol:

    I do prefer boxing ability in the sport of boxing.

    The people that like watching Hatton fight are paying for WWE Royal Rumble on PPV.

    Yes, that really related to Hatton's ability to take punches from Pacquiao.

    Congratulations for your major in idiocy :good
