Ricky Hatton Aims For Manny Pacquiao in 2009

[KING •]

Ricky will eat canvas multiple times and the referee will need to save him.

End of story.

Wow quite surprised at the amount of people saying Ricky has no chance. I'd be glad in a way if I didnt know the exact same people will come out afterwards saying Pacquiao was "far too small" should Ricky win.

In my opinion, Hatton bullies Pacquiao to a late stoppage or decision in a terrific fight.

When I looked at Pacquiao at 135, I thought he looked strong everywhere (same height, longer reach than Hatton, strong legs, calves, same power) APART from his mid-section which looked small compared to Diaz. Diaz was ****** and tried to outbox and outslick Pacquiao. He never got close or ****** to the body.

We all know Hatton will make the body his prime target and I can see him overpowering Pacquiao, getting close and breaking up his ribcage. Can see Hatton getting rocked, hurt, possibly dropped along the way but I think he'll pull it out.

I just hope this fight happens.

Remember that Pacquiao has been KOed by a body shot and Marquez almost folded him in half with a body shot in their rematch.

it would be a good fight... I noticed jim lampley saying that in order for Diaz to at least make it a competitive fight was for him to stick his head near pacman's chest, I believe he was foreshadowing a showdown with pac n hatton...but yea, u know Hatton is going to do that all night long... but hatton has no defense for hand speed, i'ma feel sorry for his facial tissues..

I agree people shouldnt write off hatton. He'll very much be in the fight but its quite amusing if you think it'll be body shots to pacman's body that'll make the difference. The shot that KOd him was a low blow. Meanwhile Hatton himself admits that he's weak in the body and had a hard time coping with Urango's bodypunching workrate

true but he's not cutting weight to 112 lbs. anymore.

he'll have a bit more padding around the waist at 140.

Britain’s light welterweight world champion Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton wants to fight Filipino ring idol and recently crowned WBC lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao but only next year. [details]

Now, we will see if the Valero fight will be made. lol You guys are probably sick of me wanting this fight lol. I just want to see how Pac does with a slugger.

[El Dominicano]

They're both the same size.
Hatton has more power
Hatton has stronger and faster legs
Hatton is basically the stronger football player, If you know what I mean. As in he will move Pacman around.

Pacman has better hand speed
Pacman has better Chin
Pacman has better stamina

None of these 2 have defense. This makes for a really entertaining fight. I see Hatton winning this but it wouldn't surprise me if Pacman win by U.D, T.K.O and K.O. Still I give Hatton the advantage.

early in his career. has hatton never been ko'd? has he never been hurt?

I don't really like this fight but if it goes down in England and 100,000 people show up, that would be pretty cool.

Pacman TKO 10
