    Ricky Hatton VS Manny Pacquiao. This has a lot of people split in the pickings of the winner, Pac-Tards are going for Pac mans speed, and Hatton fans are going for his strength and size. As for myself, I think the boxing critics are correct, Manny hasn't had a real fight with a guy like Hatton before, Pac-Tards, don't even mention the Oscar fight, that proved nothing to nobody! Even Freddie Roach said he was shot. Anyway, I am getting more and more annoyed with Pacman fans thinking this is going to be easy for Manny? I know Manny has done great things, I think he is a great icon for the sport and I really do like him, but I still don't see why or how this is going to be easy? Ricky hatton is undefeated at this weight, his only loss came to a guy that was the best pound for pound boxer on the planet, who was also undefeated and out of his comfort zone, I don't think anybody can take away anything from hatton for losing to the best, even if floyd was a bit of *Bleep!*:thumbsup

    Finally, my point is, Pacman fans, why will it be so easy for Manny to beat a bigger, stronger man, who is undefeated and one of the best inside fighters around? Bearing in mind, Manny has been K.O'ed with body shots, twice out of his three loses...and Ricky Hatton is known for his body shots?... I am not being biased..those are just boxing facts.

    I think Pac tko 9 is about right. Pac's too fast, his punches too accurate, and his footwork too good for Hatton. But then, boxing's all about upsets, so who knows....

    I can't wait. This could easily be the best fight of the year hands down.

    if you insist on calling pac fans as *******s, you should continue and call ricky fans ricktards too, or hattards.

    It may be the biggest but that doesnt mean it's going to be the best fight... I hope im wrong but i doubt this is going to be a classic fight living up to its expectation.. It could turn into an ugly fight if Hatton imposes his will...

    Im looking forward to it but im not stoked or anything.

    I like Pac, but I've never been particularly fond of Hatton. However, I was leaning heavily toward a Hatton win until I found out Cortez is the ref. In my opinion, that's bad for Ricky and makes it a 50/50 fight.

    Bayless is the ref...but he didn't let Ricky clinch v. Malignaggi either...in fact, even when Malignaggi was initiating the clinches, he'd break them up...

    ...Bayless is a good ref, though, unlike Cortez, who is awful.

    Well -- Bayless is better than Cortez. Not sure where I got the Cortez idea. Pulled it out of my ass I guess:patsch
