Ricky Hatton Aims For Manny Pacquiao in 2009

[S1MANC]

IF Pac-man came into the ring touching 147, and was very mobile, quick and the power was still present - enough in all them areas to cause problems for hatton.

Paquiao needs another fight at 135 (Valero), I have no worries about him coming through victorious as long as he puts in the same work and commitment into his training as he did this time round. The worry is will Hatton get past paulie.

Hattons major problem: Head Movement & Coming in straight on... In his early fights he made angles when he was sitting in front of his opponent but just of late he hasn't therefore he hasn't looked that impressive, and has been getting caught with shots that shouldn't even be hitting his gloves...

If the same Hatton that fought Lazcano comes into the ring against the Paquiao that was in the ring on Saturday then I only see it going one way..

Sorry that should of said "IF"... As to the claims that I have read on here, to be honest I feel these claims sound a bit exaggerated too..

mega fight everyone wins

what a fight between two of the most loved boxers in the world at wembley stadium or croak park with a record number in attendance with two fighters with no backwards steps cant wait its even bigger then mayweather vs hatton

[Drunk Punch]

Not only would it be bigger than Hatton/Mayweather but it will be a much more exciting fight. It won't need any bad blood or trash talking to sell it either.

I'm curious if ricky will b able to bully pacman, all tho I'm sure pacman will keep him off throwing as many punches as he can.

GUY'S GUY'S GUY'S GUY'S Let's not get carried away here with Pac beating Diaz.

Let's think about this logically!

Pacquaio is too fast for David Diaz, do you think Hatton hasn't seen speed before? He was doing ok (not going to win) against Mayweather until the referee messed it up. However he still wouldn't have won the fight anyway but still.

Morales 1 punch in the 1st round put Diaz down, it took 9 rounds of all out assault to finally put Diaz down for Pac.

We're making all these assumptions about Pac at 135 and he's only fought David Diaz thats it, Morales, Barerra, Marquez, Solis, 3K Battery all mean NOTHING at 135, 140 and beyond.

I keep asking why was Erik Morales able to plant Diaz wwith 1 shot in the 1st round and it took Manny 9 rounds of hitting this guy with everything he had if he has indeed carried all his power up with him? Remember this was only David Diaz.

Do you think Pac is faster, stronger, and more powerful than Mayweather? I don't and Hatton will have a considerable size advantage over Pacquaio and I'm not talking height either, muscle and neck thickness.

David Diaz is no champion, and it took 9 rounds of constant pounding to put Diaz down when it took Erik Morales less than 3 minutes to put Diaz down. The power isn't the same at 135-140+, sorry and your living a dream if you think this is any indication of what will happen against real fighters likes of Campbell, J.Diaz,and Katsidis or Hatton all can and will be able to fight back hard, I'm not saying Pac won't win I'm saying its going to be different.

You having a laugh? Lazcano is way more powerful than Pac at that weight with weight, muscle etc. It's a totally different league mate at 140+!!! why won't people understand this. Apart from Hatton being rocked a couple of times he looked good and how the **** Lazcano managed not to get knocked out during that fight is beyond me...Lazcano is a machine.

Morales scored a flash knockdown. Happens alot in boxing when guys come in overconfident and get caught off balance. But when Morales knocked down Diaz he was able to get up and get back in the fight in a major way. When Pac put him down he was out like a light for several minutes. I've always like David diaz better than Juan Diaz. And they fight so similar the exact same thing would happen if he fought Pac. And Juan definitely doesnt hit anywhere near as hard as David

[duffgun]

Would be a great fight, Pac could win a UD it all dependes on how well he makes the weight and what sort of form Hatton is in.
