    Which fighter would you like to see win more? This is not about who will win but who would you want to see with their hands raised this evening?

    Pac, he's a good guy plus his win means Pac-PBF.

    I want Pacquiao to win. Mainly because I've grown to respect him and his raging ambition enormously. But also because if Hatton wins then we can look forward to a PBF vs. Hatton rematch.

    Oh Gawd no!

    I like both. However this is Ricky's only real chance of beating someone memorable. If Pac loses, he has already proven himself to be great and bit off a bit more than he could chew moving up in weight rapidly. If Ricky loses, well, i don't see him getting another chance that could build him a legacy.

    I suppose i would like Ricky to win, but more than anything i'd just like a cracking fight. Though a Pac wins better for boxing, i don't want to give Floyd an excuse to fight Hatton again, depriving fans of a proper megafight.

    To sum up my opinion, arse, meet fence.

    I like both, but i'm picking hatton to win AND i want him to win.
    Not usually a big hatton fan, but i think he'll definately beat manny, and i dont think this will affect a pac-pbf fight anyway.
    Ricky by late stoppage.

    I honestly don't mind, even though I'm a Brit.

    I like Pac a lot for a number of reasons, not least that he never ducked anyone, was happy to give rematches, is great to watch, and that he always gives people one hell of a fight.

    I like Ricky too. The style he uses takes an awful lot of courage (especially when he keeps the leap-and-clinch manouevre to a minimum), he can take a shot, hits pretty hard and is gritty as hell.

    I guess, if you asked me at gunpoint, I might spring for Ricky, more because he's the underdog (by media consensus) than that he's british. If he wins, though, I want him to have earned and deserved it (which would be likely as I've never seen a fight where Pac has been anything less than tenaciously and rapidly dangerous).

    I'm not really bothered, though; I just want a great fight. Nobody really loses when both fighters bring their best games. Right now, I'd go 55-45 in favour of Pac, but that's why it's so intriguing; it could go any which way.

    I like both.
    But Pacquiao's career can take a loss right now.
    (With big fights still waiting for him)

    Hatton would prob be buried by boxing if he loses.

    Will be watching as a fan of both, But wouldn't mind seeing Hatton the winner.
    Pac will live to see more mega fight's, Hatton would prob be asked to hang 'em up.

    i REALLY want manny to win.

    i think hatton wins and have various bets on him to do it...but i would be very happy to lose my money if manny won.

    so...i'll say it again...i would LOVE to see manny win.
