17 experts pick Manny Pacquiao to defeat Ricky Hatton
The current issue of The Ring magazine has 21 pages dedicated to coverage of the upcoming fight between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. One of the features has 20 experts predicting the winner of the fight and 17 have picked Pacquiao. The three experts who have selected Hatton are Steve Bunch (television commentator) by late-round stoppage; Mark Collings (Esquire UK) mid- to late-round stoppage and Stuart Brennan (Manchester Evening News), possibly late-round stoppage.
Interestingly, two men who have fought Hatton -- Paulie Malignaggi and Luis Collazo -- both pick Pacquiao to win. And David Diaz, who fought Pac Man, also picks Manny by TKO.
This is true I suppose. Although he did have problems with Tszyu, who wouldn't have problems with Tszyu, you know for a fact that he is going to hit you and most likely it is going to either really hurt or you'll simply end up KTFO.
ye tyszu hits a lot herder than pac aswell.but his speed is brilliant but that shouldnt bother hatton 2 much as he will cut the ring off
hatton has never struggled at 140 lbs against anyone,he should be ok

Pac is a better fighter than Hatton though, so they're within theie rights.
It doesn't always work out like that though. If Hatton can sustain the type of pressure he put on Tszyu against Pacman he probably wins. Big IF though, Hatton was teak tough back than, not so much anymore.

Don't know what you're talking about. Malignaggi never rocked Hatton once in that fight. He might have caught him off balance once, but he never rocked him lol. Even the most die hard Pac nuthuggers can see that. I know its your opinion but i'm sorry its just plain wrong lol..
Oh and Hatton beat Lazcano fairly easily, BUT we all know that was a bad performance, even Hatton himself admits that and thats why he changed his training camp completely after that fight. Plus it was at 147, a weight Hatton has never been comfortable at and this fight will be at 140, a weight Hatton owns.
he fought lazcano at 140.he still won every round though
I think the reality check will come for Hatton fans. Not bashing, but Hatton isn't the same fighter he was before the brutal KO by Mayweather. Lazcano got beat by the ref, not Hatton. Hatton also got rocked by a punch from Paulie "feather fist" Malignaggi. Pac hits WAY harder then Paulie in any weight class. Just my opinion.

Hatton beat lazcano 12-0 on two of the three cards and if that punch you say rocked Hatton did as you say it did, then the one landed by JMM on Pac killed him outright and Hatton is fighting a corpse on May 2nd.
Well said, mate. It's time for Manny's reality check and Hatton's gonna deliver it to the body..
