    A lot of people on here have a LOT of boxing knowledge - a lot more than me.

    However, there are some people who will be blinded by the DLH fight.

    Just stating my opinion - no offense intended.
    OK, maybe I took it the wrong way. To be honest, we've seen a lot of posts saying "all you guys going crazy about Pac just because he beat over-rated Diaz and a drained Oscar are idiots", etc. I thought yours might be one of those.

    For what it's worth, I've been a Pacquiao fan since 2003 and never once bet against him.

    No offense taken, btw.

          are you saying that all the boxing pundits and experts who are praising the PACMAN for his win against dela hoya are "blinded" and that you are better than them because you are not "blinded" by that win?. this guy is full of himself, such a high standard for boxing greatness lolz . in the greater scheme of things the boxing experts are the ones judging fighters capabilities not some posters who's not "blinded" by what many considered a great win for one of the best boxers to lace them gloves up.

            Few facts for you:

            1. Hatton has only been KO'd once @147.
            2. Pac has only fought 3 fighters who campained at 130+ more than 10 times.
            3. Pac's KO rate at 130+ is 50%
            4. Pac was unable to KO Oscar Larios who has 4 KO losses.
            5. Hatton has a higher KO rate (Hi Samurai) than Pac campaining at higher weights.

            Just want to point out to the pac huggers, I'm not trying to make a case for hatton winning, what i'm trying to illustrate is than you cannot just be blind to reality and say Hatton has NO chance to win.
            this is in response to your so called facts:
            1. because he doesn't have the right tools and the balls to go up the weight
            classes, he went like once or twice? while pacman went from fly to welter.
            2. pac fought being the smaller man for the most part of his carreer, he
            started from fly then gradually moving up, so fighting the larger opponent
            for isnt new to him.
            3. the KO ratio i think favors pack because he is constantly moving up in
            weight classes and koing larger opponents where as the hitmans ko's are
            done to fighters in his weight class. pac has better ko % to larger and
            better competition.
            4. did hatton cant KO a blown up featherweight lazcano?
            5. my answer is same as #3.

            im not a nuthugger, just stating facts as you can see. unlike some people who doesn't have the balls to stand by their man, im not afraid to pick which opponent to win because im a fan not a hypocrite.

                Pac will be studying the Collazo tape. Collazo is a lefty but far slicker than Pac. Pac has become more fleetfooted lately, making immobile fighters frustrated like David Diaz and recently, the weight drained Oscar. I see Pac being a lefty and his speed being a tough thing for Hatton.

                Hatton will be studying that Sanchez fight which he got a draw against Pac. Being rough and playing dirty could be Pac's achilles heel.
                That's an interesting point about Sanchez, however, I wonder if Ricky might be better off studying a more recent fight. The Sanchez fight was 8 years ago, and since then, Pacquiao has made quite dramatic improvements.

                  mild mannered outside of the ring and both are beasts inside it.

                    in interviews, pac will say so. but in actual fight, pac will not even sweat to dispose of hatton.

                      Yup I think Ricky will have problems roughing up Manny with his (Pacquiao) improved lateral movements and patience. I think its more on Ricky's chin, if he can frustrate Manny's combos on that one he'll be good.
