    Who has the better chance of winning, Haye vs Klitschko or Hatton vs Pacquiao?

    According to UK betting sites, these two have about the same chance of victory. According to me, Hatton has a better chance.

    Hatton will have certain physical advantages over Pacquiao. He will probably be bigger, stronger and better at short range. I think it's possible that Pac struggles to keep Hatton off him, and if Ricky is able to get away with a lot of holding and rough tactics he might end up grinding out a win in an ugly fight.

    Haye chances rest upon him being able to land a power punch on Wlad before Wlad lands one on him or jabs him to death. Considering that Wlad has a much better jab, defence, and a longer reach, it's probable that he'll connect first. Haye will also be outweighed by 30-40lbs, and has no experience fighting someone as big as Wlad. Wlad however has fought many boxers who were smaller than him, and this is another advantage in his favour.

    Of course, Pac will probably be too good for Hatton to overcome, and one of Haye's bombs might find the target. But I give reet common 'atton a better chance.

    I dont think either will win. If im going to pick who has the best chance i would say Hatton.

    Haye hasnt even settled in at heavyweight yet, hes not beat any contenders at the weight. He may be a success but he should have spent maybe around 2 years at heavy before facing Wlad, 3 fights to settle in before he goes for the big boys.

    Hatton has proven to be a top level 140 lb fighter over the years. He has competed in many title fights at the weight and has looked impressive in the division.

      I think Haye has a puncher's chance. But Hatton at least brings more than one advantage to the ring.

      So I say Hatton, although I believe he will lose.

        Hatton has the best chance by far.

            Definitely Hatton, Haye doesnt have the necessary experience except for a punchers chance but hatton has all the chance in the world to beat pacman....But i think both british fighter would lose...Haye would be jabbed to death and tied up when he try to get close and hatton would be KO by the speed and southpaw stance of pacman.

              I give Hatton a 50% chance at beating Pac and I give Haye a 30% chance to land on the weak chin of Wlad's...nah, I'd say a 20% chance ...Wlad is really good at keep his opponents at the end of the jab
