I know Pacquaio is a great fighter & fast as hell but I think Hatton will be just too rugged for Pacquiao. Hatton is not going to let Manny fight his fight & will close the gap on his speed. If the same Hatton comes to the ring that beat Tszyu/Castillo with the polished defensive teachings of Floyd Sr I have a feeling he is going to over whelm Manny. Don't get me wrong, Manny does have a very positive chance of winning but I'm just feeling like Ricky is going to take it. And for the record, Boxing scene should get off of Pacs sack. I really don't care that he knocked down and cut a punching bag because we all know that Ricky will not go down that easy.

pac would definitely beat hatton... can't see ricky getting past that left straight.

[EL ANIMAL]

Manny is gonna pound hatton!!! 11th or 12th round tko !!!!

[MELLY-MEL...]

Hatton is gonna get hurt in this fight imo.

the world’s no.1 pound-for-pound fighter and filipino national treasure manny pacquiao began his first day of sparring with a spectacular performance at the wild card gym of celebrated trainer freddie roach in los angeles. [details]

this article is the greatest nuthugging i have seen on this site. Sparring a nobody and dropping him is news. He wrote a whole article on this....wow!

This is hilarious. Pacquioa drops a 7-0-1 lightweight who never went past six rounds and all of a sudden this means he'll stop Hatton in five?

Brilliant.

Did anybody notice in the De La Hoya fight and Diaz fight? These men who are naturally supposedly bigger weren't able to push Pacquiao around? Especially when they start the clinch, they weren't able to push him back ala Marquez and Diaz. I think a lot has to do with how strong Pacquiao is. He has a strong foundation in his legs. Now Will Hatton be able to push Pac around? Time will tell on that.

Sparring inexperienced pros are best for these short sessions where they have 2 guys or more sparring 3-4 rounds with a guy interchanging. They're used to fighting less rounds so they are very active, as opposed to 12-round fighters that hold back and then close strong.
