JMM vs. Hatton @ 140

hatton dominates him and pacman at the same time despite what his spasticated dribbling fans think

Pacman brutalize Hatton? What are you on? The Hitman would kill him to the body and end this. Remember, Manny has been stopped to the body before and he is no defensive wizzard like Floyd. Also, trust me: Marquez is no Floyd either. Ricky is too big for him and would smother any great "boxing" he has a chance to do. Marquez can be hit and Hatton would get a piece of him. That's the way I see it as well. People underrate Hatton because of his loss to Mayweather which is still his only loss. And now people are overrating Marquez for a win over Casamayor who is no longer the best 135 has to offer. And before anybody starts saying "well JMM is 35!" fighters age differently. Casamayor has been deteriorating for a while now. JMM has not shown any signs of that in any of his fights. Casamayor may be even older than 37. I never believed he was being 100 percent truthful about his age.

Remember, we're talking about a fighter who knows how to take advantage of openings and mistakes. Floyd did it, Lazcano did it, Marquez would sure as hell do it. I dont think Marquez would brutilize Hatton like Pacquiao would, but he may be a bit more dominating than Floyd on the fact that he is more agressive than Floyd. Marquez has had one fight at 135 and it was against a fighter obviously past his prime. We don't even know how he would do against the other top 135 pound fighters. Santa Cruz beat Casamayor too.He just didn't get the decision. Now that JMMM beat Casamayor, all of a sudden people jump on this bandwagon like he's going to wipe out everybody at 135 and 140. Jumping up to 140 to fight a fast, big for his weight,strong guy like Hatton, who would be in his face all night, is a totally different story. Another thing: JMM does not have the defensive skills of Mayweather. He would get hit much more so I don't know how you can say he would be "more dominating" than Mayweather" and he's not "more aggressive" like you claim. You make it seem like Mayweather didn't throw any punches at Hatton. Getting hit more does not mean "more aggresive".

Hatton should win but who knows how much Mayweather took out of him. IMO JMM has a decent chance to beat him especially in the US. If Hatton gets this fight in his hometown JMM will have to beat him to death with the ring stool just to get a split decision. Marquez is definitely the better skilled fighter but I just can't see him stopping Hatton from getting inside on him and doing his normal hitting and holding tactics, as you said though, we're still not entirely sure how much the Mayweather fight has taken out of him. Marquez' best shot would be to consistently catch Hatton on the way in, then move to the side and do the same thing over and over.

Hatton by knockout unless he has lost more steps than I think he has, size just overcomes skill in this one IMO.

hatton's too big and his mma tactics will mess up jmm's grove. plus jmm don't have the power behind his check hook to really hurt hatton.

Marquez knocks out hatton.... Hatton has no chin as proven in his last fight againts a smaller feather fisted fighter. Casa has a much much better chin than Hatton. Honestly, I think Hatton/Paulie is a tough fight and I am leaning towards Paulie M. to win.

Geez, v2, lighten up.... Did you not agree with my post the other day re JMM's fight selections early in his career??? Was that not boxing related??? Besides I dont think he's really gay, is he???? Seriously... Do you??? ha yes and no.

Dunno man, this could be the fight JMM was looking for all his life.... Lets look at the facts... Hatton likes to hug and clinch his opponents.. And if theres any fighter out there that has experience with hugging and clinching other men inside as well as outside the ring, we all know its JMM....LMAO Sorry, counldnt resist... I hope some day you wont be able to resist actually discussing boxing other than the personal lives of other grown men.

It's all about the Money. Fuck Hatton, he's robbing us of great JMM fights at 135. :alcoholic

cunning stategy by marquez. fight all of manny's potential opponents before manny can get to them. payback for the robberies.

Would be a tough fight for Marquez, could go either way.

Remember, we're talking about a fighter who knows how to take advantage of openings and mistakes. Floyd did it, Lazcano did it, Marquez would sure as hell do it. I dont think Marquez would brutilize Hatton like Pacquiao would, but he may be a bit more dominating than Floyd on the fact that he is more agressive than Floyd.

JMM's acurate combination punching would flip Hatton's lights off. It would be a gritty tough fight for JMM.

This is bullshit. JMM will fight Vernon first!

What do you mean chin problems? He got KO'ed by the best fighter in the world, not exactly a huge problem. But if Paulie drops and stops him then Hatton's done. Personally I think JMM is a bit overrated, he's beat some big names at the end of their careers but lost arguably twice to a prime Pacquiao. Also JMM has been dropped 4 times in 2 fights with Manny, should we label JMM "chinny"? IMO Hatton-JMM at 140 ends with a late Hatton stoppage win, but no marquee fights happen if Hatton doesnt win his next one. well, i dont think hatton's chin is as good as it was when he fought Tszyu back in 2005. Tszyu was landing his right hands all night, hatton just ate them. in hatton's recent fight, former lightweight Juan Lazcano was able to hurt him?

Hmm woul dbe a good fight, if the ref isnt Cortez...Hatton may stay in JMMs face all night and bully him which would be a problem since JMMs superior boxing skills need space.
