        Okay deal. 4,000,000 plus points and you're worried about 50,000. You're in my bets page.

            I like Hatton and he's a tough kid but Manny is simply at a higher level. People look at Manny as a little guy but he's got massive, functional legs and he's much stronger than people realize, especially at 140+. Moving up from 130 was just what Pacquiao needed. he holds the muscle mass so well. PacMan by KO in about 9 rounds.

              FR: He’s definitely up there… you know the top three guys were probably Morales, Marquez and Oscar and Ricky’s a world champion and that doesn’t happen by accident.

              I am disturbed by the lack of inclusion of MAB

                I guess he's saying that because Barrera didn't give Pacquiao a serious challenge in their two fights.

                  Trading in a phone booth Hatton has the advantage. He throws better hooks and uppercuts in a squeeze... Given some spacing Pacquiao destroys hatton in an exchange as Pacquiao piston like punches will wreak havok on Hatton.. If either gets their backs againts the ropes they are gonna get pummeled.. Hatton and Pacquiao use the ropes to their advantage differently but extremely effectively...

                    Theres only one ricky hatton
                    one ricky hatton
                    walking along
                    singing a song
                    walking in a hatton wonderland

                    just got back from antigua watchin some criket good times really tempted to fly out to watch this fight but funds are tight.

                    Manny will win imo i dont think hattons good enough, however i'll still be there shouting abuse at manny and chanting for hatton (whether "there" be a pub or at the fight).

                    Dont really care what freddie has to say its like in football (soccer) when managers talk bollocks in the build up to games.

                      ...FF: Did you notice any improvements with Hatton training under Mayweather Sr.?

                      FR: Oh yes! Tremendous improvements! (Laughs) Give me a break!

                      FF:I thought if anything else he looked a lot more like his old self…

                      FR: No comment...
                      I think this is the start of the real word war, Roach vs. Mayweather Sr...or a sarcastic attempt at avoiding it.
