WHERS THE POLL???
we all know this is coming up next ..
bob arum said it on the sky interview ...
im not gonna let pacmans desruction of dlh fool me ...
not takin anything away from him i did not expect it at all and i was rooting for pacman but i think hatton naturally stronger and more stable at 140..and if he stayed on the inside could get off some good shots on the smaller pacman ...
so im goin with my boy ricky by tko in a fight were i see them both hitting the floor because of pacs speed ricky will take some shots ..but if he does what he did against paulie and keeps that head moving were in 4 a good night ...
every real boxing fan should thank manny ...for puttin oscar 2 rest and saving our sport from meaningless fights !!!!!!!!!!!
styles make fights and if hatton can back pac up with a consistent offense, pac won't be able to get his offensive rhythm going... it'll be a competitive fight but I dont' think pac will win...
i hear you bro but the same can be said of hatton. pac's speed, coming in and out and lateral movement will keep hatton guessing and miss his target. i think pac can time hatton and when hatton feels pac's power, i'm sure he'll be hesitant and once pac gets his confidence high, he will unleash his combos from different direction. as pac proved last night against pac, your weapon is only effective when it hits the mark. pac is a moving target and packs powerful stingers too.
pac ko's or tko's hatton on this one, no doubt.
pacman all the way!!
he'll probably use the same strategy he used on ODH...1-2 combos then move away to the right(hatton's left), while oscar has his killer(w/c he wasnt able to use) left hook, hatton doesnt have even a left for moving targets...and he only has a straight-forward type of attack which pacman can avoid easily..pacman wont stay still for him to hug and brawl at all..
i can see a hatton having a face similar to diaz...and have him KO'ed on the 9th..:boxing:
If Hatton could stay on his feet he would probably win, but he would have to avoid the straight left.....and better fighters than Hatton have failed to do that..... and Hatton is far more open than those fighters.
Ricky has a chance but.

Imagine Hatton coming forward catching the lead straight left then Pac moving to the left... Pac would easily dominate Hatton IMO.
hatton is good but based on how pac destroyed dlh last night i have no doubt that hatton at 140 is no match against pac's speed, power, head movement and great footwork, not to mention his astronomical improvement as a boxer, on his defense and ring maturity. this fight will be a matter of not if but when will hatton go down.

c'mon mang... hatton has good hand speed and his chin isn't glass. with floyd sr. in his corner that ups the % of him winning. hatton's stamina has gotten better under floyd and he's being more intelligent about his boxing and his footwork is improving. plus hatton is naturally stronger and won't be shy about bullying pac around unlike dlh...
the only thing pac really has on hatton is the southpaw stance.
I love both Ricky Hatton and Pacquiao. They are two of my favorite fighters. It will definitely make a great fight but I think Pac will win. Hatton wont have an answer to the speed, although I expect him to still land punches unlike DLH. It will be a brutal fight I think, but it definitely can end by KO. Hatton doesn't have DLH's chin nor does he have his defense (which was still almost non-existent again Pac), and since they will be fighting at 140, Pac will probably have even more pop and speed on his punches than he did against DLH.
Pac by KO/TKO.
I still think Hatton will look very good with the Predator in his corner though. It will have the potential to be a candidate for Fight of the Year.
I just hope whenever this fight takes place its either before the end of May or after July so I can actually watch it. I'm already gonna miss the Cotto-Margarito rematch. Makes me cry a little inside.

How do ya' like this? Pac boxes his way to a solid UD. I think that Pacman evolves to a little more of a boxer @ 140 and up. He'll pick Hatton apart. Not ruling out Pacman by stoppage via check hook, however, if Hatton starts charging in with his chin hangin' out.
I love pac, but I still think hatton is too big for pac...
the reason why dlh lost was because he didn't throw punches and back pac up... hatton won't be scared to throw punches, maul, hold n hit, etc...
I hate to pic against pac, but hatton still too big and physical.
it's a 50/50 fight for me, hard to pick, if it goes the distance i think Hatton would win by the smallest of margins, but it's the type of fight where one round or even one punch could swing the fight.
