Last night... Would Hatton have been able to stop DLH??

[Alibata]

No. Oscar didn't punch because it goes against any fighters instinct to throw when they can't hit what they are throwing at. It just creates more risk. Time has again and again proven this to be true when fighters inexplicably lock up and appear not to be trying. Oscar couldn't hit Manny. He was tryng, he just didn't have the ability. Whether it is because he's shot or Manny is amazing is irrelevant, but Ricky's style isn't. My mom could hit Ricky Hatton. Oscar/Hatton is still a competitive fight, I think, or at least Oscar takes a few rounds before he is outclassed clearly and makes it the distance.

You must be a fighter man... Alot of people do not see what Pacquiao did to make DLH not throw his punches... I urge yall to watch it again... Pacquiao improved or done his homework real well cuz he gave DLH akward looks where he woulda taken big risks by throwing punches at akward angles... Pac kept a good distance and was just to quick shooting in.... He surprised me big time... DLH/Hatton would be much more competative... Pac footwork is WAAAAAAAYYYY underrated...

You're right about your last sentence, man.

I've actually watched Manny fight live against EM 2. But, I actually went to WildCard while preparing for EM 3. and I'm tellin' all y'all, when you are about 5 feet away from Manny doin' his thang in the ring, it's a sight to behold.

His speed is almost not human, he's a lot, and I mean alot faster in person than on the t.v. or watching him from the stands.

Even against other fighters, what do they usually say about him afterwards, that they underestimated the speed.

He would have hit Hatton more because of the orthadox stance. I dont think Oscar had a target for his left hand at all. Hatton is still open for left hooks.

I'll say this...I wasn't sure how true the rumors were that Victor Ortiz and Edwin Valero were kicking Oscar's ass. Now, I believe them to be 100% true. Speed, youth and lefty. Wiped the floor with Oscar. Pacquiao? Maybe he's a little smaller, but he's a beast in there.

oscar is not shot, past prime yes but before this fight he had shown no noticeble sign of severe decline

pacmans speed was what made oscar look tired,old and shot

oscar was frustrated and beaten the moment he tasted the dazzling speed of manny and the sting on his punches

oscar isnt shot, but he is definitely past prime and needs to think about retirement

[-MAKAVELLI-]

LOL....oscam would have won a few more rounds

[The_Bull]

Hell no, Oscar would of stopped him with Hattons kryptonite, the left hook. Hatton is not even half as good as Manny. Manny showed world class foot work, moving to the side. Hell no again.

[NoFear24]

No, Hatton style is perfect for Hoya. Hatton would eventually get Ko'd. He comes in and is not nearly as elusive or as quick as Pac. If Hatton can actually move and box and brawl the way Manny did last night, he would win, but thats not Hattons style. Hoya imo would still beat Hatton when Hatton would get in close and try and outmuscle Hoya, which would be trouble for him.

yes, i believe Hatton would of stopped Oscar on a body shot.

when you said stop him, i thought you meant when he was helpless on the ropes

exactly, pac deserves credit for his defense. he kept his distance well and exploded when he wants to. like i said earlier, hatton can never put a defensive effort like that. he has cement on his foot i think
