Ricky Hatton Aims For Manny Pacquiao in 2009

[horge]

Pac-Man will beat Hatton i think. And that's coming from an Englishman!

Hatton will beat Pac I think. And that's coming from a Filipino.

[MakeDamnSure]

To some British here, Lazcano is the sparring partner of Pac for several fights.. Pac even knock his Ass out during sparring that he almost quit sparring with Pac.. The reason why Pac wants this fight because he knows he can beat Hatton with his flaws on his performance against Juan Lazcano the former sparring partner of Pacquiao...

Hatton will bully Pac? Maybe but Pac will box him around the circles, underrated side to side movement, right hands and combination will KO Hatton in the later Rounds..

Pac 6 Division CHamp after that and a top 5-10 ATG!!!

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]

Hatton needs to look spectacular against Malignaggi to get the interest for Pac/Hatton up higher.... I'd almost say he needs a KTFO.

Source? because somehow I believe that's utter ****e from the bull.
Lazcano was a sparring partner for Pac that was about it. They used to spar before when Roach was training lazcano full time and pacman was on the up and up.
I think you're making the whole Manny knocked out Lazcano thing up.

All the Morales fights before, Lazcano was the sparring partner of Pac for several years.. I'll post the article later.. I'll find it..

I'm undecided here........Hatton is the king at 140 but Pac is exceptional, but not sure how he will carry upto 140

[Johnny Rebel]

Correct...He had a live interview with Steve Bunce today on Setanta and he said he'd be selling out if he done that. The fight is just as good as signed.

If the fight isn't signed, why would PM need step aside money? It's not like PM is a mandatory challenger to a alphabet belt or anything where he could sue to get Hatton stripped of his belt.

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.

Guys, guys.. you're making a long and illusive story!!! don't think too much to ponder.. Can't you see that despite morales put diaz down within 3 minutes he'd lost??? can't you see that when morales put diaz down, diaz still could got up and finished morales? while when pacquiao put diaz down in 9th rouds, diaz never got up????!!!! sweet science in boxing pal!!! not just power even you have that power like pacman, but strategy too...!

[WESS]

I like HATTON, I NEVER gave him a chance in the RING with MONEY MAY (the ref had nothing to do with MONEY'S SPEED and KO power that KNOCKED HATTON THE F**K OUT). But I will say he'll put up a good fight with PAC-MAN. Overall PAC will dominate the fight, probably knock him down a few times to win the rounds. Hatton is good, good at getting an ass beating and still coming at you for more. I give him A LOT of respect. But PAC MAN will embarrass him just as MONEY did. Money is "THE BEST" P4P. This talk about retirement I think is ALL HYPE, I think he's watching COTTO and preparing himself to fight him. But that's just me. Money is one of my favorites and I will say he would look like a ***** if he doesn't come back to fight him. I'm betting he will, especially if the money is right, or if Cotto just CALLS HIM OUT and disrespects him. Anyway PAC MAN will out work, out punch, out do EVERYTHING HATTON will ever bring to the table. Hatton will bring the heart, but PAC MAN will just eat eat eat and take the victory.

i still don't know about pac movin up even after the diaz fight. a win over hatton would definitely change my mind.
