[bigflip55]

if he is in almost in tears watching dlh take those punches i wonder what he will feel like when he starts taking them. i do give hatton a very good chance in this one though, as long as its a good fight ill be happy :****you:

[litez.owt]

hatton should be in tears. hes gonna get it worse. hes already destroyed the mexican legend now its time 2 bomb a brit. THERES ONLY 1 MANNY PACQUIAO!!!!!

Hatton realizes that will be his own fate when he steps in the ring against pacquiao.

Reasons why I think this way, pacquiao's foot-work, power, speed, stamina, everything is better then Hattons(my opinion). Also, as far as I know Pacquiao is a healthy human-bein. He doesn't get drunk like Ricky Hatton and abuse his body out of the ring...

Pacquiao will hurt Hatton if Hattons signs that Contract.

The problem is Hatton will not sign for this fight, he will make every excuse in the book not to take this fight.

I just can't understand why so many people are buying into Pac at this weight. Anyone with half a brain could see Oscar ran out of gas somewhere around round two and was a full time zone away from connecting with any of his shots.

I'll hold my hands up and say I didn't expect Pac to beat DH. I thought Oscar - who has always been a VERY hard hitter - would have too much power for him and put the fight to bed early.

HOWEVER, what I didn't expect was an Oscar who has aged ten years in his last 12 months.

The guy was a faint shadow of the ODH who destroyed Chavez and would have destroyed Pac within four or five rounds.

Hatton might be approaching retirement, but he remains a million miles above what we saw from Oscar at the weekend. Certainly I expect him to lay more decent shots on Manny's chin in a round than Oscar did during the entire fight.

So please. Enough of this Pacman/Superman crap. The guy is only human and if he carries on taking on bigger guys sooner or later he's going to get starched.

I honestly think it was more of a tactical mismatch than an issue of fatigue for DLH. I can tell because throughout the fight, DLH was trying to find spots to attack and he would have little short bursts here and there and tried to rush Manny hoping to land his left, but he couldn't find him. DLH was just tactically handicapped this night, he was the naturally taller, stronger man with a longer reach, which was a perfect formula for dictating the pace and keeping Manny at bay with his strong jab. But because of Manny's southpaw style, head movement, footwork, and the fact that Oscar was never really good at using his right hand which is the most potent weapon against a southpaw, Oscar was tactically outgunned. With the way the fight went, I wonder whether or not Manny could of beat him when he was younger. Younger Oscar had a tough time with an older Pernell because of his ring generalship, which was similar to Pacquiao's ring generalship during his fight with DLH, only Pacquiao chose to use his ring generalship to find angles to attack and neutralize Oscar's attack, Pernell only used his ring generalship to neutralize Oscar's attack. And plus Oscar was more one handed when he was younger, he only started developing his right hand after teaming up with Floyd Mayweather Sr. There's a part of me that honestly believes that Manny could of even beaten a younger Oscar, the one that Shane and Pernell faced.

Just put this in your sig, then you wouldn't have to type it again every fifteen minutes.

Hatton can hit much harder than DLH,.. Manny can box,.. but can he handle a true 140 pounder like Hatton or Bradley???,.. I'd like to see Manny fight the best at Lightweight,.. if he boxes the best at 140,.. Manny will be put to some severe tests.

I doubt it.
Pacquiao will see how different it is when a fighter clinches him to death.
But even if Pacquiao does beat Hatton, it definitely wouldn't be as one-sided as the De La Hoya fight.

it will....the shots Oscar took would've KO'd Ricky....I'm talkin' about worst than what Floyd did to him. Ricky is gettin' stopped homie

[Dave Rado]

why are you people encouraging these ****** fights? don't you wanna see the best fight the best? not the most popular fight the most popular. hatton is clearly not the best.

Most boxing experts rate Hatton as the no. 1 Junior Welterweight. If you know so much more than they do, why don't you get a job as a commentator or boxing writer? You're entitled to your opinions but they're only opinions, not facts, and when most experts disagree with you, you should have some humility.

Hatton will take the fight, and do better than De La Hoya against Pacquiao (not saying Ricky will win, just saying it will be a more competitive fight).

Fatton is in tears for he know that he will be next one to be demolished by Pac!
