Hatton, Eager To Snatch Pacquiao's Title as Boxing's Best

[trainhard_187]

This is the fight.
People are a bit too quick to favor Manny based off the Oscar win. Hatton has never lost at 140, and aside from the Oscar fight Pac hasnt fought an elite fighter at a weight class this high. Should be a hell of a showdown.

I aint basing his fight with DLH, im basing the way Pac carries his arsenal at higher weight classes. For goodness sake, he brought up his power and speed at Welterweight. Hatton is dominate at 140 but that division isnt even a STACKED division anyways. Come on Hattons mandatory was Paulie. That tells you how solid that division is. 140 aint even a solid division. Your making Hatton out to be some serious threat.

Just be around after May 2.

Hatton is the most overrated fighter in boxing!!

Paquiao by tko in rnd 8

The reason why he's over rated is because he ISNT IN A DOMINATE DIVISION.
Praise to him for being the top LWW, but that division isnt even solid.

I have no doubts in my mind that Hatton will win this fight....

Hes bigger...stronger....and has fast hands...footspeed.....

Hatton will cut off the ring and maul Pacman at a weight class hes never been it...aginst the best fighter in that divison...oh yeah not to mention with Mayweather Sr. in the corner.

Hatton will win this fight.....hands down..bar ******** none.

I think in terms of speed, Manny's will be more devastating to Hatton than Vice Versa. And he can cut off the ring all he wants. Pac will just unleash a two fisted attack that not even Mayweather brought to the table. Remember Ricky didnt look that great against Lazcano, Malignaggi wasn't really punching back much either.

Pac's been in tough fights before. It's nothing new. He'll thrive under Hatton's pressure. You can believe that.

If Hatton could beat Pac and JMM, I think that would make him #1 p4p, but Pac alone won't do it. I think he'll get stopped by Pac anyway, even tho he has a chance to win.

Some have moved on to WW. If Hatton was dominating a division stack with opposition like LW or WW, then that would be another discussion, but LWW isnt even a dangerous division.

ummmm, pacquiao is FASTER , has wayyyy better head movement and wayyy better footwork. pacquiao weighed 148 his last 3 fights and pacquiao cuts the ring off way better than hatton. hatton is half an inch taller but pacquiao has a longer reach. hattons only advantage is strength but not by a lot. pacquiao in 7 or 8 since mayweather did it in 10 lol!!

If he beat Pac and JMM he would be P4P number 1, how could he not be? Both those fights are very winnable by Hatton too

Hatton's footwork is pretty damn good. He'll probably catch Pac a couple of times while he moves out of punching range because he's so quick to pivot. Still Manny is good at keeping his hands up, so that's not a big problem. As long as he doesnt lose his balance like Collazo and Mayweather both did in the first round. Luis fell, Floyd didnt.

Never lost at 140 , you need to understand weighin weight and fightweight , it was a real 140 fight , it was officially for a 147 title but dont kid yourself they were jnr welters not welters and Floyd knocked him out , Hatton stepped in at the same weight he fought Castillo and Floyd was a little lighter , this never been beat at 140 is a crock .
