Ricky Hatton Versus Manny Pacquiao

[djsygo]

as i wrote in another post:

Hatton will get KOed by Manny. I dont think Hatton can take many clean punches, and Manny will constantly be an elusive target and will start first.

Manny isnt a counterpuncher but its very easy to counter Hatton. So the times Hatton has the initiative Manny will tag him, but most of the fight youll see Manny going off first from outside, getting in clean right jabs coming from nowhere (Hatton is open to rights), then, when hes on the inside, Manny is just going to punch him a few times and then slipping to the right.

Surely itll be competitive, and there will be Hattons moment when hell grab one arm and starts to hit with the free hand, but Manny is very fast on his feet. Manny by KO round 9 after very competitive first 5 rounds.

i dont see hatton beating pacman, not impossible thou, you never know. styles make fights

This would be an intriguing fight because both men are amongst the top ten best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet. Also, as everyone knows, both men are very attack-minded and do not hold excessively and spoil fights a great deal. Their styles are conducive to an all action thriller.

More prestige would of course be added to this fight if it took place at England's wonderful Wembley Stadium in front of 100 000 fans and this suggestion has been welcomed by the Pacquiao camp.

I love Ricky Hatton for all the charity work that he does and because he has been a good ambassador for British boxing, but I have to admit that I could only see one winner if this fight took place. Manny Pacquiao makes big Joe Calzaghe look positively stationary and he is relentless beyond belief. I could not believe my eyes last night.

not very intruiging, Hatton will be koed and thats thats

WTF?!?!? Hatton clinches at least 100 times every fight. He holds excessively, pac-man doesn't. Maybe you got the two confused. Yeah and Pac-man get's outworked then Ko'd.

That is not true.

I have watched almost all of Hatton's fights and the only fight I can remember him holding "excessively" was the Urango fight.

That is the way I see it all panning out.

If this fight comes to fruition and its in the US..
Manny by TKO. Hatton is becomming more and more battleworn and I think Pacman is developing into a better fighter..
Manny is a southpaw, in case you guys forgot, Hatton doesn't like southpaws at all
Hes had trouble with every southpaw he faced, and Manny has speed and power.
Manny would swarm Ricky with combinations from all angles.. I can see Hattons face being a bloody mess..
A few years ago, I'd say Hatton, now, Manny..
Hopefully this fight isn't in the UK where they let Hatton do whatever he wants in the ring..
Hatton is a hugger.. The only fight where he wasnt clinching was the Malinaggi fight..
Other than that, hes a bully..
If Pacman can move laterally and shoot some combos and get in and out, itll be a good night for him..

I hate to sound anti-American because I adore America, but if the fight takes place should it not either be in England or the Phillipines?

Why America?

Why America?

Because America, Las Vegas in particular is the entertainment capital of the world.

Filipinos and English people alike have proved that they have no problems taking the trip across the pond to support their fighters. So having it here is the most neutral place imaginable.

Plus, if it was in the Philippines or England, there would be issues with the fight time here in the US that might put the PPV revenue in jeopardy.
