Manny Pacquiao Confirms To Arum "Hatton Fight Is On!"

[BetterCallSaul]

Considering 99% of people on this board think Hatton will get ko'd, they best give Hatton p4p no1 status if he wins.

pac will win. think about it tell me one opponent Hatton has faced apart from mayweather that is good as pacquiao. However pac has been fighting legends for a living. pac will dominate hatton. and to all you clowns saying he was scared

FIGHT OF THE YEAR???? I THINK SO! The war has just started! Hatton had his opportunity to get away from anihilation from Pacquiao, but he didn't book a different fight right away! I say good luck! I just hope Pacman dont take him easy though!

Manny has never faced a naturally bigger person as good as Hatton.

Barrera, Morales, and Marquez were all at a weight he was comfortable at. De La Hoya was a shell of his former self. Diaz is not a real world class fighter.

Hatton is just past his prime, but he is probably one of Mannys biggest ever challenges. This will be Mannys first time at 140. Only his first time above lightweight fighting a real quality opponent. Diaz was just a place holder, and De La Hoya had nothing in the tank. He looked shot.

For all intents and purposes, I think Pacquaio will win. But he will know he's been in a fight this time. I would like to see how he handles the power, footwork, and speed of Hatton. Something his last two opponents did not have. I would like to see how he reacts when he is past the 8th round, and he is hit with a trademark Hatton body shot. I would like to se how he reacts the first time he gets hit with one of Hattons hooks. Manny is not a defensive genius. He will take shots.

This will be a very good fight. But those who think Manny will wipe the floor with Ricky, need to realise he isn't Mayweather.

Great analysis of the fight, Pacman will be tested to his limits and beyond by a naturally gifted 140 pound fighter.

he is not mayweeather but he is p4p best and no one comes close. the only reason people undermine his fights against diaz and oscar is because he made it lookk easy, he did the same thing to ledwaba, barrera, the only time pac has been in trouble is against defensive counterpunchers, i think hattons style will play into pacs hands.

[fcastro1]

and by the 8th round i think hatton would have been hit so many times that he would be physically drained to throw strong shots. i just see pac hitting hatton too many times before he gets a punch in return.

[Abstraction]

nah.....pacquiao hits harder than floyd.

ricky won't even make it to the ringpost.

lol

Seriously though. It was probably planned from the beginning to create hype between simple people.

I still feel Hatton is the favourite, considering it's his natural weight and everything

[Mr. Philadel]

Hatton is gonna get beat up Manny by KO.

I just think Hatton is too 1D and he's tailor made for Manny!
