Deciding Factors for Pacquiao/Hatton Official Thread.

[DrewWoodside]

Hatton is gonna have trouble with Pac's speed. If they go to war, I gotta give Pacquiao the advantage. Hatton likes to brawl on the inside, but leaves himself open when trying to slug from the outside (i.e. lunges in).

Manny all around is just a better fighter IMO and an overall better athlete.

I'd like to see them in an all out bar/pub competition. Beer for beer, darts, pool, possibly beirut/beer pong. I think Hatton might edge it since Pacquiao has cleaned up his lifestyle recently. Prime for Prime though? I think it would be a decent battle with Hatton clearly winning in the booze consumption category.

This is simple, you dont have to overthink this. Hattons biggest deficiency? Eating left hands like they were stakes, Mannys best punch, his hard straight left. Hatton wont slip or dodge a left hand, even if his life depends on it!!!!!!

There seems to be a new deciding factor that comes to light each day so lets get them all out now. I'll edit this first post and try and give a comprehensive list of factors for each fighter. So who do you have to win and what do you think the big factors and advantages will be. I'll start with some. In no particular order.

Important Factors & Advantages for Pac/Hitman.

Ricky Hatton
1. Footwork - A lot of folks have been saying his footwork is underrated and that it may be the difference in this fight if it allows him to get inside fast.
2. Bodypunching - It seems Hatton's co-trainer believes 1 or 2 bodypunches could completely change the fight.
3. Single punch power - He's fought at Junior Welter for quite some time and if he loads up on his punches, it's very likely he can hit harder than Pacquiao on any single given punch.
4. Clinching/Grappling and working inside.

Manny Pacquiao
1. Handspeed - Speedkills and it sounds like a lot of fans think Pacquiao can land several shots on Hatton before he lands one.
2. Hatton's tendency to cut and bruise - Hatton looked particularly bruised and battered against Lazcanzo and Malinaggi. Pacquiao punches even harder.
3. Headmovement - I don't think this has been discussed but Pacquiao puts most bobble head dolls to shame. Will Pacquiao's head movement nullify Hatton's jab and ability to land clean? I think his head movement is underrated.
4. Southpaw.
5. Agility. His in and out + quick lateral movements make for a difficult target that can unload a combination and be gone. Making countering a challenge at times.

Ok lets add some more and discuss, I could be wrong about some already listed, let me know if you disagree. I'm sure after the fight is over there will be some deciding factor we missed but lets try and pin some down.

You forgot the most important one... Pac's Mustache..

****, the average Manchester United Football fan could out drink Pacquiao LOL.

Hatton wins by brutal inebriation.

I was tempted to add 80's **** moustache but I'm gonna keep the main post serious!

Pacquiao has above normal physical abilities. I bet at the peak of his drinking abilities he could hang in there with the heavy boozers. He's a beast.. but maybe i'm overrating him in this.

Yeah, that's probably enough to scare any opponent into submission. And if it don't work, he could always go into doing **** flicks.

2 Months later.. **** moustache is still the deciding factor. As always with 24/7 and most times a fight draws near.. this bout is looking closer than it did when it was announced.
