        Hatton better be smart and put his paycheck on Pacquiao to win. That way, he makes almost twice as much money and will be able to afford his health care after Pacquiao KOs his ass in 7.

          Sounds about right. It'll be interesting to see which way it moves as it gets closer to fight time.

            Pac by TKO on late rounds. I think the first 6 rounds will be good for Ricky but will get tired and frustrated eventually when trying to pin Pac. I am hoping for an exciting, good balanced fight like Pac-JMM 2, not the one-sided kind like Pac had against Diaz and DLH.

              This is going to be a much closer fight than people anticpated. In my opinion there are still questions about Hatton since he didn't really fight against Malignaggi and it was all one way traffic. I'd like to see how his chin holds up and if he has the speed. And also if he keeps improving under Mayweather.

              Pacquiao had such an easy go of it against DLH cause DLH never threw punches, never moved around, never popped his jab. Things Hatton will obviously do.

                  It only looked that way after the third round because DLH was getting frustrated with Pac's movement and speed. The same will happen to Hatton. As soon as he figures out that he can't leap in with a punch and hug right away, Hatton will not know what to do.

                  I think it will actually be more of a mismatch than the DLH fight ended up being. I expect Hatton to hit the canvas at least 3 times before the end of the 7th round.
