    Are you talking about official legal sports betting or underground betting?

    Pacman had won numerous titles and seems to be the better fighter just on accomplishments. Hatton lost to Mayweather. How can Hatton be the favorite? The fight looks like a mid rounds win for Pacman. Hatton is good but in this fight I think he is fighting a guy who is too good. I feel sorry for Hatton. He has fought two guys who might be the top guys in the last 10 years, Mayweather and Pacman. Hatton is good, but those guys are great. I give all respect to Hatton for fighting the best and having a great heart, something Delahoya does not have.

    Because Hatton is not p4p elite and Pacquiao is.

    Cuz PAcman is the # 1 Lb 4 Lb in the world. He is the reigning fighter of the year. He destroyed Oscar Delahoya in his last fight.

    Power- Even both have knockout power
    Speed- Pacman
    Footwork- Pacman
    Defense- Pacman

    Hatton is a brawler which is perfect for pacquaio style. He has the speed to beat hatton to the punch. :D

    ok I was agreeing with you until the last sentence. Delahoya fought the best of the best during his prime

    Tito-Chavez-Whitaker-Vargas-Quartey-hopkins-mosley etc and only got knockout once vs b.hop... how could you say he doesn't have a great heart when he fought and beat most of his opponent?
