Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton

[horge]

Pac's got a decent chin, but I pick Hatton by TKO, middle rounds.

If a quick handed mayweather with no real KOpower can knock hatton out COLD. then a quick handed Pacquiao with a cannon left would give hatton brain damage if it found a way to land.

Yes but Hatton ate dozens of clean shots for three straight rounds before geting caught with a big hook and stumbling into the ring post. Furthermore he was TKOd, not knocked cold. And he was moving up in weight and underestimated Floyd's power.

Pac is too small to fight off Ricky, he may have some success because he is a southpaw but Hatton will crush him ultimately.

[Left Hook Tua]

180 but not in a good way. 180lbs of beer and burgers ala fernando vargas. He had the goods to beat mayweather silly but instead the fight showed the drinking and bad eating habits have taken their toll and he's mighty ripe for an upset. If a quick handed mayweather with no real KOpower can knock hatton out COLD. then a quick handed Pacquiao with a cannon left would give hatton brain damage if it found a way to land. This fight would be alot more competitive than it seems on paper.

i don't know about that......

floyd's punching power is on par if not better than manny's. floyd's power is underestimated because he's not a ko guy he's a boxer.

plus hatton will have no problems getting to manny compared to getting to a slickster like floyd.

hatton wins via tko/ko

[flipside]

manny by KO in 1 since im a nuthugger.

Style matchups.

Pac is a southpaw so Hatton's jab will be very negated.

Plus it is likely Pac will weave in and out with his quick feet.

The real issue is if Pac can hurt Hatton.

If he doesn't then Hatton will simply bully Pac the whole fight.

If Pac hurts him with his punches, then it's a bad night for Hatton.

Remember Hatton is very easy to hit down the middle.

And that straight lefts are just lightning fast.

I think 135lb is too big for Pacman, so there is no way in hell he's going to move up & fight the lineal 140 champ in Hatton & escape with a victory! Hatton KO PacMAn

[MakeDamnSure]

Pac's straight left will land Hatton all night.. If Pac cant hurt him or bring his power then it's over.. As what PBF said on an interview on ESPN few weeks ago, He picked Pac to beat Hatton because that left straight will KO Hatton out cold.

I disagree about floyd's power. His KOs have been because he thows so fast they never saw it coming which is different from raw punching power. Also what did hatton in against floyd wasnt slickness but quickness. He simply was never able to set his feet to punch or keep up with mayweather's pace. Pacquiao is every bit as quick as mayweather and can definitely be taught by roach to use his movement to dictate the pace. i could probably see him going in and out throughout the fight. Hatton will still be bigger and have the advantage but im telling you this fight will be more competitive and entertaining than it seems. You would definitely get your money's worth for this ppv.

Pac can do business at 135 but 140 is askin too much. He's definitely better than Hatton but Ricky's too damn big for him. Hatton UD.
