Roach: "If Pacquiao Fights Smart, He Beats Hatton Easy"

[Puntoyhauf]

I see both guys having a punchers chance, good post though.. made me envision the two fighters head clashing together, it's not until I read your post had made me realize how their style of fighting make a very big chance of an accidental headbutt.

Oh no, I really wish this fight won't be stopped because of an accidental headbutt.

if pac fights at all, he beats hatton..... i see hatton with very little chance of winnig his fight.....

but i suppose the situation is much like the margarito mosley situation in the sinse of:

1) hatton has a great trainer in his corner-like shane did
2)pacquiao is commnig off of a great win- like margarito, hatton is comming off and okay win- like mosley

who knows, MAYBE hatton shocks the world..... but i doubt it

But I can see that you slightly underestimate Hatton, I think this is more the actual "Dream Match" than with Dela Hoya. This is the fight I never thought possible so actually I'm still in shock. Don't doubt, Hatton is a real tough fight for Pacquiao. If Floyd Sr. executes the right fight plan and Hatton doesn't abandon it, don't be surprised if Hatton wins. I usually base my prediction after I see both camp's training, how they establish a fight plan, the quality of sparring partners, and how they trust their trainer.(though I just keep my predictions to myself)

I just wish both fighters good luck... I hope they won't get an injury during training... for sure that will SHOCK THE WORLD!

it sounds like roach is getting worried on this fight.

Golden boy easy

Pac will destroy Hatton... EASY. Just as PBF did, PAC will out smart, out punch and out due everything Hatton will bring to the table. Look for a late KO....

I've got to agree, if Pacquiao fights the way he did against Oscar, utilizing his speed to the best of his ability, it could be an early night. Hatton finally impressed me vs. Paulie (i.e. not holding and hitting every chance he got). There's simply NO WAY he's going to be able to hold on to Paquiao.

Depending on the rest of the card, I might actually temporarily lift my personal ban on ordering ppv.

This will be a tough fight for the Pacman because of Ricky's aggressiveness. I believe Trainer Roach and Team Pacquiao will have a big surprise for the Hitman. JAT

I can't see Hatton winning unless Pacman can be bullied.

I see hatton bullying him.just my opinion!

[KingTito]

I think Pacquiao will win by TKO.
