Pacquiao Says Hatton Will Be His Hardest Fight To Date

[hammerhiem]

I respect your opinion and all, but dont you think Hatton needs to beat Pacman first to be even considered great? meaning if pac wins this one ricky wouldnt really have a realistic chance of being an ATG.

Even if he beats pac I don't have him top 100 All time.

For that he needs to clear out 140 after Beating pac (Bradley/Holt winner + Kotelnik) or move up and beat one of the top 3 WW (Cotto, Mosley or Clottey).


Saying that if he comes out 2-1 up on a Pac trilogy that would be a huge step towards ATG status aswell.

yeah i know what youre saying but ATG is a subjective list by boxing pundits, a subjective list at the end of the day, beating pac(which i give him a chance of doing)would be a good start though.

Its all good, I want this one for Pac out of personal bias and historical significance.I want mayweather to come back too. Im a fan of ricky too.

At this stage of both their careers I say they both should forget titles & fight all the best.for hatton forget holt/Bradley & fight mosley,cotto,mayweather& pacman again if a rematch is a good idea(depending on how the fight goes).I think pacman should do the same.the $ would be huge for all these boxers & it would definately be crowd pleasing.I'm to the point that titles don't mean anything when there are 4 major santioning bodies.those names I mentioned & throw in clottey & berto and if Paul wiiliams can still fight at 147 throw him in as well.these men could bring boxing back to an alltime high if they chose to fight each other.

this will be hatton's first loss at 140lbs.

He hasn't lost yet.

i know the fight didn't happen yet but it's for sure ricky will lose this one.

Its definitely possible, and i think people forget the amount of threat that Ricky posses. He is a bigger, rough physically strong fighter who will be coming at Manny (who is not brilliant defensively )and not as good of a boxer as a Collazo or Mayweather so there will be a lot of exchanges. Pressure from a bigger fighter is always hard to handle. With that being said, Manny is favored in this fight for a reason but this will not be an easy task.

You must be kidding dude! Has Pacman been paired against Collazo and Mayweather and lost to say they are better than Pacman, hmmnn??? If Pacman could receive atleast 3 big body shots from Hatton comfortably, then Hatton is finished!

No it isn't and anyone who says it's a forgone conclusion is ******ed.
