    At 16, Floyd was winning Golden Gloves at Flyweight and you can see how his weight has changed since then.

    Pac is already coming in at 144, wouldn't be that much of a stretch.
    That's true, but I still think his power at 140 would be less effective and Hatton bullies his opponents around and Pac would be worn down in the later rounds. I know you said it would be over by the sixth round, but I just don't see Manny taking out Hatton that early or even at all.

      This fight will get stopped prematurely by an accidental headbutt for sure. Two rams going head to head. Southpaw vs Orthodox. Both reckless. I dont honestly know who would win. Maybe Hatton because he is the bigger and stronger of the 2.

        Yeah, I'm clearly in the minority here. But I would bet real money on Pac if this fight ever took place. And I'm not a Manny fanboy. I just think his speed, reach and one punch power advantages would be the deciding factor.

            It is funny that arguments that were used AGAINST you are now arguments you are using to support your statements.

              Pac is a special type of athlete so I give him the benefit of the doubt that he can at least come in and not get killed. With the right workout plan he can pack on muscle to move up to 140. He's already going to be forced to fight at 135 as it is.

                I'd pick the Pacquiao who fought Morales (3) to beat Hatton convincingly. Hatton fought very well against May, he was just up against a better man. Pacquiao is too fast and strong.Pac by a K.O.

                  Please don't respond to me anymore. That is about the 30th garbage response from you in a row and you are know on ignore. Have a nice life.

                      i like the pacman, but at 140... your truly lying to yourself if you think manny will have more power. He would get in there and try and **** with hatton but i dont see this fight going more then 6-7 rounds.
