Oscar De la Hoya: "I'm excited... Hatton will de-thrown Pacquiao"

[Cunty Bitch]

de-thrown is not a word. so i have to call bull**** on that quote.

As much as I've lost some amount of respect for Pac I'm still a fan, and he has more accurate insights as to the fight and what he needs to do, than anyone I've seen talking up Hatton. Roach is the best trainer at there atm for me, and I think they'll come in with a great style and game plan undoubtedly. It's no way near as likely Floyds going to improve Rickys defence and tactics to such a degree. Still will be competitive and Hatton could pull it off.

You can't honestly believe that!

This is completly different fight and you'd be a fool to think hattons not going to land.

Its going to be a very interesting fight and I can't wait for may 2nd!!

no honestly that was more so a diss towards oscar talking ishh.

personally i think manny better not underestimate ricky. it will be a war they will trade alot but pac's speed/power/movement will make the difference IMO.

Sorry even IF Hatton wins and I hope he will he's only just top 5 P4P and I would STILL have Pac-man over him unless it's an early KO or total domination on Hattons part.

Pacman would still be better P4P than Hatton if he losses because he is fighting 2 divisions up.

Both Oscar and Floyd are predicting Hatton will win. I think it's a 50-50 fight but I'm rooting for Hatton.

Oscar: We are very excited that this fight has been made, as it is the fight fans wanted and the one I look forward to seeing myself. This fight has all the makings of a “Fight of the Year” candidate and I think Hatton will de-thrown Pacquiao and become boxing’s pound-for-pound king.

Pacquiao: My trainer Freddie Roach will put together a new game plan which will be much different than the one we used against Oscar. There are concerns because Hatton is a very strong puncher so I must deal with that in the ring. I promise I will be completely prepared.

Hatton: I am confident that I am the fighter to take down the pound-for-pound champion.

Hatton will take a dive trust me...
