i thought hatton would be too big and strong, but he was totally outclassed and seems to have lost his punch resitance. manny was amazing, so fast and i'm amazed how he's brought his power up from the lower weights. i've always been a big fan of pacs but i'm an even bigger one now. hatton has been king of the 140lb division for 4 years but it's now time for him to retire. his style and heart of a lion means he's taken a lot of punishment over his career, he's got a nice kid and girlfriend and he should retire now and enjoy his money before he get's badly hurt. he's had a good career only losing to 2 of the best boxers of our generation and possibly of all time, he just didn't cut it at the super elite level. which is no disgrace in anyones book. so long ricky it was fun while it lasted. :good so who couldn't pac beat from 147 down? beating the likes of pbf, cotto and mosely would have been laughable 2 fights ago, but i wouldn't bet against him beating anyone from 147 down on this form.
Classy thoughts Roly... I agree 100%. Hatton is a decent and likeable bloke, I still believe he can beat many paper champs in the JWW. But he should first take a long rest, that KO was brutal. Shane maybe. Could be too big and skillful. But I would'nt bet against my man Pac though.
At 147 I think Cotto would beat him and maybe Mosley. I think JMM already did beat him. Apart from that, I'm stumped...
i used to think Guzman had a very good chance at beating Pac, but now.........not so sure, if any1 can beat him i also though Torres, Holt, and Bradley had very good chances, but now.........i realize i was underestimating him, which is impossible not to do cuzz he literally looks greater and greater in each fight
i think theres a threat on this but Eric Morales beat Pac and even turned southpaw on the last round of their first encounter but we all know how that eventually turned out
Good question. PacMan has AWESOME physical abilities, can put up weight very well. With that said, fighting at 147 is different. Pac would be about 151 pounds with guys like Mosley, Cotto, Clottey or Willams would be 160-166 pounds. They are all much taller than him. Of course he's faster than all of them with Mosley being closest to his speed and having pretty good defense and inside fighting. Clottey is physically HUGE, but not too quick and busy. Cotto is a huge physical force, but smaller Judah had a lot of success with speed, and Pac is much faster and focused. Pac-Williams would be funny. But Pac-Mayweather is the ****! :thumbsup
