Pacquiao v Hatton

Hatton is so much stronger. Manny is just a skinny thing and Hatton is real stalky. I see Hatton pushing Manny all over the ring. With all the holding too...Hatton would just be draining Manny the whole fight. Like I said, would be great to watch though... And niether fighter would back down from that challenge so I guess any things possible yeah I can see your point because Manny's weight comes from his tree trunk legs. That's why he continues to have a lot of power and the holding is definitely something Manny has yet to face but we did see how that charging could hurt Hatton and Manny is a southpaw. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Manny will win I'm just playing devils advocate right now because it seems the consensus right now is Hatton taking Manny out.

If your talking about Hatton and Pacquaio, Hatton at 144 pounds is going to be alot stronger than Pacman at that same weight imo, hatton has good foot speed to, hits hard to the body, i dont see that as an option for pac who'd really have to box and move for 12 rounds rather than getting into a scrap, i dont think pacman is a good enough boxer to evade a decent ricky hatton charging into him, the strength factor is too much imo, pac started at minium weight, 140 is a long way away from that. I can see pac having some decent moments but once he got hit clean i wouldnt fancy his chances, to be good at the higher weights you need to a defence to stop the biggers guys hitting you clean, i dont think pac has a good defence. I think your right about his defence needing some work but again both guys being the same height and being at the same weight...it's tough to call. My only problem is that we won't know how much bang the Pacman has in the higher division but then again we might be able to say that he carries his power well since he started to fight at 105lbs. and he's still knocking people out at 130lbs. I also think Manny is learning more with Freddie in his corner and learning to box more by developing his right hand. Just some intriguing points.

In what aspect...Manny and Hatton are the same height and Manny has a two inch reach advantage. Both are hard as nails and both come forward. I think this is a very duable fight in the near future.

Even though Manny came in at 144lbs in his last fight?

don't think it will happen, Hatton is way to big for Manny, but would be awsome to watch while it lasted (maybe 5 rounds).

I don't see it happening. But, who knows? I'd like to see Manny try and clean out the division he's in.. But I can see why the move up would help him. He's not a true 130 pounder at this point.

Unless hatton is shot, thats not a good fight for manny, he can be outboxed and outbanged, if he fights diaz, he would have to box him out and not get caught up too much on the inside too, some interesting fights, i think Marquez beats him anyways or should win that fight, but if manny won that fight convincingly id give him a good chance against diaz, the hatton fight is a step too far, hatton weighs 175 outside the ring.

Dont think it will happen. Too far down the line if it does, and Hatton will be retired by then
