Ricky Hatton will beat Manny Pacquiao.

[MOREBASS]

For some weird reason i think Hatton will be the favorite!

He won't.


He's probably going to end up being a 2-1 dog.

So the odds won't be completely stacked against him.

He definitely won't be favored though.

to op: you are actually overestimating hatton and understimating pacquiao

pacquiao is the stronger, faster and the better boxer. i dont see hatton beating pacquiao. reach and jabs are going to play big in this fight too, hatton is lacking both

Stronger? No way. When I say stronger, I'm not necessarily refering to punching power, but just overall, brute strength. There's plenty of very strong people that can't punch for ****.

I don't think so, I think I gave pretty accurate, objective speculation on both fighters and their respective styles.

It would be fair to make Hatton favourite because he hasnt been beat at 140. The thing is hatton has said he wants to beat the p4p no1 because that will make him p4p no1.
But does it work like that? If Hatton beats Pac does Hatton overtake Pac as p4p no1? Considering Pac is naturally smaller supposedly.

the fact that you think pacman will get beat shows that you're underestimating him and overestimating hatton

you can't even get your facts straight.


holloway was a welter, and he just got his orbital broken after sparring for just 2 rounds with margarito.

I was unaware of that, regardless, you really shouldn't try to substantiate sparring sessions.

At least I explained how I logically came to my conclusions.

It holds more clout than barking conclusions of your own without any type of speculation or evidence backing your arguments.

just trying to prove a point and it's valid
