    hatton's bullrush style is all wrong for pac.. hatton has good power and decent speed, but the biggest thing is that hatton will weight 157+ lbs on fight night and pac will only weigh 148.. hatton is physically stronger and will smother all of pac's offense...


    You must be living in a cave these past 2 years because the Pacman of today is NOT the Pacman that you are describing. Pacquiao used to throw all cautions into the wind and rush like a mad man trying to knock any of his opponent out, as if he's alte and he's to go to a party or something after wards. He doesn't care if he gets tagged with a guy his size as long as he can get his own licks in. Since he went up in weight ( 2 fights now) and he knows he will be fighting bigger and heavier guys, he seems to pay more attention to his well being, in short, he doesn't want to be hit anymore. He found out that he can hit without getting hit back, which is a better proposition for his sake. He hasn't lost a round (17 and counting) since then and he seems to be liking it. Expect Pacman to be more agile and elusive than before in his next fight, and I predict pain for the Hitman, lots and lots of pain...

        It will be just a replay of the David Diaz fight, so don't get your panties in a bunch.

            jesus ****ing christ. a person can't even give his opinion on a fight without being hated on? are you pinoy ****ing serious? he didnt talk **** about Manny. He didn't attack his character nor did he criticize Manny's skills. All he said is that he thinks Hatton wins this fight. Why is that so ****ing offensive to you?

              styles makes fights... pac displayed alot of boxing ability, but he's not a counterpuncher, hatton will be too strong and physical...

                Manny is too fidgety for Hatton to pin. I think this fight will be a case of Pac being first and constantly pelting him with the left hand. I think we will see a more mobile Pacquiao with combinations galore. Awesome fight.

                  Hatton's strong and physical I agree, but it only works in a phone booth war, Pacman's fighting long distance now, he's in and out, side to side and won't let himself be trapped in a corner.

                  One thing I noticed about Manny was his different mindset, he doesn't want to be hit anymore, not like he wants it, but not unlike before where he doesn't care, as long as he tags the guy. He's very conscious now about the fighter he's up against, he circles, he turns and create funny and awkward angles that makes his past 2 opponents missed badly.

                    Prime Morales leaves Pac for dead in the ring. That is all.
