Is Pacquiao getting too highly rated?

[Left Hook Tua]

Nothing wrong with me also calling Mayweather a fly weight as well.

I find it slightly bemusing that hatton is now being held in such low regard by some people in respect of his upcoming fight with manny pacquiao. Before the de la hoya fight hatton held the slight edge in the eyes of most with pacquiao having to come up a weight to fight him, however now i'm hearing hattons going to be 'destroyed' and 'brutally ko'ed', but tbh i just dont really rate pacquiao's win over de la hoya that much. De la Hoya looked dreadful just standing there hardly putting up much in the way of a fight. Its easy to look good when your opponant looks that bad. Does manny actually carry his power up weights? He hit de la hoya flush several times but it didn't exactly send him sprawling. De la Hoya just covered up and allowed himself to take the shots, hatton will get in close and try to spoil, hold and maul pacquiao. If he gets away with it its very effective.

Its not as if Pacquiao has a perfect record, he's suffered 2 defeats by 3rd round ko! and has had a few lucky decisions along the way.

i think hatton has a much better shot than some people are giving him credit for, very much looking forward to it.

Of course he is overrated. Most of the idiots on these forums go off of their emotions and what they would like to happen. Not what actually probably will happen.

Manny is a formidable foe for Hatton, make no mistake, but unless Hatton shows up in trash condition with no will to fight, Hatton will have a very good chance of winning by KO/TKO victory.

I find this fight quite hard to predict, usually that means its going to be a close fight in my experience.

Floyd is naturally bigger than Pacman

By at least a division, you can make an arguement for two.

Hatton is at least two divisions bigger naturally than Pacman.

Question what weight was Manny best weight

122-126 physically

Boxing is a sport based on weight. No such as reach height classes. The fact of the matter is. Pacman at 130 outweigh Mayweather . Pacman at 135 weight the same as Mayweather at WW. Also come fight night at WW both men would weigh the same. So Pacman fans should not say Mayweather is bigger since they are the same weight. Calling Pacman a flyweight is ******. He was 16 at the time. Mayweather at 16 was also fighting at 106. Pacman is still in his prime and is filling out. People call him a 122-125 fighter when he cannot make weight anymore. That is plain naive. Simple Pacman and Mayweather weight the same weight and at 16 started at the same weight. People talk about Mayweather fighting at higher weight. This can easily be debunked if you look at fight night weight in. Pacman weight is the same as Mayweather fight night even when he is fighting at lower weight

Mayweather vs Hernandez, Floyd was 24 years old, 4 1/2 years as a pro.
Pac vs JMM, Pac was 29 years old, over 13 years as a pro.

Mayweather has the same arm length as Wladimir Klitschko and Paul Williams, 26". If you don't think reach matters in boxing, I can't help you.

[UnDeniable]

As everyone tells me Hatton isn't elite, it will mean he beat a B class fighter above his natural weight, in fact if Hatton wins thats exactly the words you will be using to DEFEND pacman.

"Hatton is just a B Class fighter, But pacman is fighting way above his natural weigth, P4P Pacman kills Hatton"

Pacman's best weight I.e HIS PRIME is not 140 it will never be 140 and to think it is is idiotic.

Floyds PRIME was 130, stop making excuses

The 1 pound weight advantage Floyd has on fight night is nullified by Floyd coming off a 2 year layoff. FFS every fight has an excuse ready on boxingscene especially a Floyd fight.

OK Then what was Mayweather weight when he fought Judah at WW FIGHT NIGHT compare it to 29 Pacman at LW fighting Diaz.
