    Rightly so, at the end of the day, he is still the thicker, naturally bigger fighter who cuts from 170lbs. More powerful, decent speed as well. He is Dominant at 140 whereas PAc never fought at this weight. Many advantages including being trained by Floyd which is a plus.

    He looked impressive in his fight with Paulie, good movement, busy and fast.

    So there are no excuses for both fighters...Im just getting ahead of the shot theory after the fight. PAC is in his prime. So is Hatton

    Hatton is nowhere near shot. I'm just worried he'll be different since Sr. laid some rules on him. like no drinking alcohol and bed by 8pm...

    Same power, far less speed than Pac, Pac has fought above light welterweight and won in style (not a great opponent admittedly) therefore we should expect him to perform better at a slightly lower weight.

    Both have suspect defenses, Hatton slightly more so but by fight night they should be about the same. Pac probably has better stamina

    Pac TKO 9

    This is total mince, Hatton has stopped fighters with one punch at 140, Pac had to beat the crap out of Diaz and Hoya for the whole fight before they got stopped.

    I strongly believe Hatton will be able to press his strength in this fight and Pac is in for a shock. Damn, if Mayweather deviated from his gameplan and fought Hattons fight, how the hell is Pac going to dictate the game?

    What makes you think Mayweather deviated from his gameplan?

    THANK YOU!!! Both men are in PRIME FORM! No excuses! Hatton is the 140 champ and rightfully so. PAC is the P4P Champ and rightfully so. Both are still young...one man is BIGGER but the other has more natural gifts and talent on his side. Fight is EVEN in my honest opininon. It all comes down to who is the better fighter overall. A good Big man vs a Great small man. Can't wait!

    That punch had nothing to do about him being 'shot' that would have floored the very best
