I'm just saying it isn't a rational choice based on record....i'm not saying that he won't win, just that a pick for Pac is speculation and not fact based....and you can :-( all you like :good
Some people are picking pac not because of his record above 130 but because of his style. As shown in his previous fights he has carried his speed and power pretty well in the higher weights. Add to that it is a well known a fact that hatton was having trouble against southpaws... I think this reasoning is legit... not irrational at all. I'm sure you have your own analysis but calling people irrational coz they pick pac is just wrong if you ask me.

why get pissed at rational posters like TFFP...:huh damn those hatton nuthuggers.. i really hope he gets KTFO
And picking for Hatton is what? Isn't it fact that Manny is a southpaw? And that history tells us that Hatton has troubles with southpaws. Isn't it a fact that Manny is faster and more agile than Hatton? Isn't it a fact that when Hatton rushes forward, he does it head first? These are the facts people based their prediction in favor of Pac. So for you to say that choosing Pac is not fact based is wrong. One thing you forgot is that prediction itself is speculation which you and I and anyone who chooses a fighter to win in a future match, is guilty of doing so.:good
What that actually indicates is that Hatton dominated a live opponent by restricting his output better than Pac did against a zombie :good This would be a completely acceptable argument if the fight was at 130, it isn't. To me ,and i'm no Hatton fan, stating that PAc has carried up his power and speed is just not proven. Diaz was easily hitable and poor, and any top 20 welter and a whole raft of LWW would have beaten Oscar on fight night, he came in like a leaden footed lightweight. If the fight happens it should be good, but I will not be in the least bit surprised if Pac isn't just blown away by an early Hatton body attack.
He is crude, and is a wrestler, but has never been beaten by a southpaw. "Problems" and beaten are miles apart
What do you think it suggests?.. and please, don't say that it shows that Oscar was a live opponent because I know that its not true, and deep down you do too whether you admit it openly or not.
