[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

I think Hatton's trainer "Lee Beard" has a good game plan in regards to dealing with Pacquiao. All those complements about Pacquiao? Talking about "We can't find No one to match Manny's speed"? "Manny is so great"? hmmmmm.......Hatton's people got there poker faces on.

Hatton better be in top shape. He's gonna have to throw a lotta punches to win.

Manny is a good chess player, and a chess benefactor

What I would really love to see is for these two great fighters to play a chess game against each other. Manny is known to play chess often also, and has supported a lot of Filipino chess players in their international campaign (such as Grandmaster Joey Antonio, among others). After that, Chessboxing anyone?

People have short memories. Rememeber before the malignaggi bout people were writing hatton off saying he's been into many tough fights. Then he destroyed a below-par malignaggi and all of a sudden he is back to his best. I don't buy that. I think pacquiao will have to much for hatton but I do think hatton at his best might have beat pacquiao. I just think ricky is way past his best now!

I didn't buy that Hatton was suddenly going down hill and his destruction of Lazcano and Malinaggi back that up.
