Hatton Fans Must Admit

DLT17y ago

Look, I like Hatton and I think he has a good chance of winning. Ive been going back & forths on the fight. However, you all have to admit that its way way way way way better for boxing if Pac demolishes him and fights Floyd. The fact is that boxing has had some great fights since the 80's but everytime boxing gets set up for a super mega fight, something bad always happends, and the fight never comets to fruition. Even just recently it happened with Cotto. I made basicaly this same thread before the Cotto-Margarito fight. I truly thought Margarito would win because of his size but I truly wanted Cotto to win to possibly setup a mega undefeated fight with Floyd. It sucks that Cotto lost and it sucks even more now because you find out that Margarito probably cheated. Cotto may still come back at a high level and they may fight in the future but it still wont be as big of a fight as it couldve been. We had a mega fight with Oscar-Tito but I think everyone feels that the fight itself actualy sucked. This is the chance to get the 2 legitimate P4P best in the ring together and it would be huge if Floyd kills JMM & Pac kills Hatton. Even the Hatton fans have to want there boy to lose. Ofcourse boxing would go on even if Hatton won but there is no doubt that the sport needs a shot in the arm and this is it. You would have a great 24/7 show with Pac-Hatton and then you would have Floyd's comeback against JMM probably trumping a big UFC card. Then you have the 2 biggest stars in the sport facing eachother. All the networks would cover it like its the 80's and they probably would have 6 shows on 24/7 instead of the normal 4. Hatton has to lose, bottom line

Dude no one wants to see that fight if Pac loses to Hatton. Who wants to see that when Floyd already knocked Hatton out? If Pac couldnt beat Hatton and Floyd just beat JMM, then there is no way that Pac would have any chance against Floyd and no one in the world wants to see Floyd-Hatton again. The only way it would even be a little interesting is if it was in England at 140 but I dont see that happening and it still isnt a super fight like Floyd-Pac would be What if Pac loses by a split decision? What if Hatton really looks improved? What if he lost by some controversy? The only way, to me, it wouldn't be interesting is if Hatton completely dominates him and KO's him early on.

I also shouldve added the RJ-Toney fight in the original thread. That was a big fight but both guys werent in there prime and Toney was a dead man walking after losing all that weight. I think Floyd & Pac would live up to the hype

They're not equal, look at side by side pics - can't be bothered posting one but Hatton is definitely bigger. So what people are saying is, if Hatton wins, then Pacquiao is finished?? Why couldn't a Pac/Mayweather fight happen even if Hatton beats him? Pacquiao is not undefeated and so I don't see why losing this fight would end the possibility of him getting major fights. In fact Mayweather is more likely to fight Pacquiao should he loose to Hatton... Dude no one wants to see that fight if Pac loses to Hatton.

hatton is too big for pacquiao ... de la hoya probably threw his fight with pac when yuo think of it so that hatton vs pac could be made de la hoya didn't attack pac at all pac is too small this will be like foreman frazier I'm surprise to find out that you've been a member here since 2004 yet you're still clueless. So you are saying that hoya did not attack pac so that hatton versus pac could be made. Damn, that's very dumb and can only come from the mouth of an imbecile LOL.

The best thing for boxing is that it's a good close fight and the guy who's teh best on the night wins. This is a boxing showcase and the last thing boxing needs is refereeing or Judging controvercy. the assumption that it's best for boxing that Pac wins so he can face PBF is flawed because PBF is never coming back.

I'm calling bullsh*t on this one, what is 'best for boxing' is that the best fighter win in an exciting fight. As to a potential Hatton v. Mayweather 2, if PBF has a 'tune up' (cough...) against JMM that's as likely to be at 140 as at 147, particularly if he fancies Pacquiao after that. At that weight, my money is on Hatton. Really? I think Floyd obliterates Hatton at any weight. The weight is really not an issue, IMO, it's a matter of Floyd being on an entirely different level to Hatton. They are worlds apart in terms of skills. 7 pounds isn't gonna save his ass from getting beaten again. Another thing -- given that Mayweather Sr. has been on Ricky's team for a while, don't you think he knows all Ricky's faults and would certainly expose them to lil' Floyd? I do. He already said he wouldn't work Ricky's corner if the fight ever happens. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

agree on 1 and 2... though on number 3, i believe he wants to fight hatton on England.. that's what he is saying even before the PAC fight.. the reason why he wants to fight PAC at 147 where Hatton may agree to fight.. not on some catchweight of 150.. he kinda look at PAC as a stepping stone towards his megafight with hatton at wembley.. Yeah, agreed. But I do think he thought if he beat Pacquiao it might coax Mayweather out of retirement. Oscar was pissed off that Floyd retired! Beating the P4P #1 might be tempting enough to get Floyd to come back for another fight. Something else to throw into the mix: Pac expressed an interest in fighting Hatton even before he fought David Diaz. That's another reason I don't believe Oscar was trying to set up Pac with Hatton, because Pac-Hatton would have gone ahead without Oscar being in the picture at all. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

Can't agree with you, cuzfozzy! De La Hoya would not ruin his reputation just to set Hatton up with Pacquiao. It's not worth it. Simple fact is he greatly underestimated Manny and paid for it. I believe that Oscar's intention was to destroy Pacquiao because 1) it's a business thing, and 2) it's a personal thing, and 3) to put himself into position for another Mayweather fight. Even if Pacquiao had lost, he would still be in a position to fight Hatton. Oscar offered Hatton a fight and Ricky turned it down. His only other mega-fight option was Pacquiao. agree on 1 and 2... though on number 3, i believe he wants to fight hatton on England.. that's what he is saying even before the PAC fight.. the reason why he wants to fight PAC at 147 where Hatton may agree to fight.. not on some catchweight of 150.. he kinda look at PAC as a stepping stone towards his megafight with hatton at wembley..

I want Hatton to win, but I agree that Pac vs Floyd would be better for boxing. It's the only fight that I would actually like to see Floyd in at this point.

Agree with you, DLT, it's better for boxing if Manny wins. I don't want to see Mayweather-Hatton II. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3
