someone get Arum and Oscar on the phone and tell em to make it happen. Both have HUGEMONGOUS fan bases and are straight up pressure fighters. Who would have the edge in this fight? Would it be Manny's relentless left? Would it be Hatton's relentless bullying? They are about the same height though Hatton is obviously heavier. Does that mean he's stronger?
pacquiao would get demolish. he is not used to rough house fighting. round 1 would be hell for him then round 2 my idol would get knocked out.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
hattons chin has gone the way of vargas's. in his past two fights hatton has demonstrated a complete inability to take a punch. mayweather knocked him out, as far as i'm concerned lazcano knocked him out, and pacquiao would knock him out
not actually as sure about this as i once was. Pacs gone way up in my estimations recently...hattons gone down a bit after not knocking out lazcano (although i think it was a decent performance, i think hatton should be finishing fighters of that calibur).
Pac would catch hatton with the left, probably a fair few times, and no question in my mind that pacs power would carry to 140, so the question is can hattons chin withstand the pacquiao left and allow him to land punches?
i hear a lot about pac vs. oscar, and now hatton. I would love for floyd to drop to 140 and fight pac
that's a total mismatch. hatton is already too much for manny but at least manny has a speed advantage , hands and feet. not only is floyd bigger and stronger , he's just as fast and unlike hatton who will come in on manny floyd can box and make him look foolish , floyd can popshot him and if he chose to he can bully manny as well. 140 is too much for manny. anyone 147 and up is definitely a NO NO......especially when the guy at 147 is the most talented , skilled fighter since the prime roy jones.
I know Pacquiao has a huge set of cojones, I know he's a bundle of energy, a handful, with enough power to overcome some size differences but GIVE THE GUY A BREAK. You want to put him in with a guy who walks around at light-heavyweight?
Hatton would decimate him.
hatton using his strength and power to bully manny on the inside...... manny throwing the left over and over again trying to get hatton off of him...... as long as there's not much clinching should be a great fight. how long it last will all depend on how manny's chin can take a legit junior welterweights punch though. i'm afraid manny might get abused......
If all went according to prophecy and its lineal 135 vs lineal 140. Pacquiao win makes him only fighter in history with lineal belts in 5 divisions. Certainly cementing him as #1p4p, HOF and greatest filipino fighter all time. I'd be more worried bout his body being able to take shots than his chin in this fight though. If Pac were to go down in this fight i guarantee itll be a body shot that does it.
Hatton would maul Pacman to fuck.
I think Pacman could definetely hurt him thouugh.
I'll pick the naturally stronger man as Pacman is a fighter. Hatton doesn't have waste a whole bunch of nervous energy trying to get inside, Pac will be right there.
I'd want Pac to win actually.
manny v hatton would be huge! id love to see this fight although hatton would destroy pac man. How about holding the fight in the phillipines capital manilla, or even at wembley.
im not certain, but i imagine this would be the biggest fight held in manilla since the thrilla in manilla between Ali and Frazier in the 70's.
does anyone know if manilla stadiums big enough to host this event?
manila stadiums would be big enough. araneta coliseum that handled the frazier-ali fight was the biggest indoor stadium at the time it opened in 1960. it can hold 16,000-17,000 for boxing events.
i don't think it'll be held in manila or england if it happens. too much money not to be held in vegas. the casino doesn't care about the tickets they sell , they know how much high rollers will come in just for the fight , they'd offer big bucks.

Hatton-Pacman fight would generate a good number of PPV buys the promoters would find hard to disregard. The fight will happen because of the money it will bring to their pockets.
The Hatton of a few years ago easily beats Pac man, but the Hatton of the last couple of years I am not so sure. If Pac can carry his power up with the weight he is going to give Hatton a lot of problems. I want to see this fight, but only after Hatton fights Witter. It would be a good final fight for both fighters.
This fight would be absolutely enormous, both for the sport and money wise. While i'm not a huge Hatton fan i can see him destroying Pac. He is an absolute monster compared to him in size and that would be a HUGE advantage due to his style of fighting
