Are we overestimating Pacquiao's Power Shots at 140?

[strugler]

de la hoya was a flat footed had no movement what so ever that night...and hatton could have knocked him out quicker than pac did that night....but what is he going to do when he faces hatton's foot speed....and hatton is not afraid to trade shots....just my opinion but if it turns into a full scale war, not holding which some of the hatton critics will think, but just trading shots back and forth....i like hatton's power much more over pacs....thats what leads me to a late round ko for hatton if it goes this route....power vs power= hatton victory....pac is going to have to out box him and stay in the middle of the ring

Now thats just disrespecting everything Pac did that night. I dont think hatton could have slipped those punches like what pac did.No offence but hatton at 147 isnt really that good.

Listen man, Hatton didn't even dare to take the fight with Oscar. What more needs to be said? He turned it down.

Would have? Could have?

Didn't!

yea hypothetical....but he turned down the de la hoya fight because it would have had to been at welterweight...and i dont think hatton will dare go back to welter...and of course de la hoya knew this and thought it might make him look like he still had the magic...also too de la hoya just loves the big draw these days...and hatton de la hoya sell the most tickets...hatton is in his prime and wants to fight only the elite fighters....no shame if he loses to both mayweather or pac...he only gets beat by the best, but i dont see him losing to pac at 140

yea i will be the first one to say hatton is just an average welterweight.....but a jr. welterweight, only he and tzyu have cleaned that division out since '99

Well speed kills.
Then Hatton is no slouch in terms of speed.

This fight will happen on May 2 and speculation will be over. I will give Hatton his props if he proves you right. What will you say if Manny Knocks hatton out... Will you be back on here to make excuses or will you give Manny his props?

Thats not what we are talking about........... If you think id argue that hatton is the best 140 pounder right now, we on the same boat.(i hate his clinching though)

[MakeDamnSure]

Bull**** so what if Pac didn't put DLH down!Before that ****!n' fight all of you didn't expect Manny to win that way against Oscar and now you're bitching that he can't knock him down...PBF,Mosley,Trinidad didn't floor him and you're expecting a midget who went up 2 divisions to KO him in a brutal way...Oscar's face was messed up and the guy quit on his stool,what do you want more?
I hope Manny will rip Hatton's face badly and give him a total beating so all of you can STFU...

[elfag]

Well, Oscar always had a good chin but also Pac landed at will all night on him and couldnt put him down.... I think its more his speed than his power at these higher weights.

Hattons chin is proven, he took some good shots from Mayweather before he went down, he can take a good punch. Pac's chin isnt really proven beyond 130 plus we dont know if he could take Hattons bodyshots.

It is a great matchup, I am picking Hatton though so many expect a Pac blowout. i think it will be very competitive.

[baracuda]

Look i keep hearing in the forum that pac has this deadly power, that hatton won't be able to respond to...i give pac credit he has dominate power at 130 and below...and lets look at his 2 fights about 130, david diaz, which nobody would consider an elite lightweight in the world...then theres pac vs de la hoya.....he NEVER! knockdown de la hoya or ko'd him he quit because he was being overwhelmed......de la hoya was dead at 147 and way past his prime....do you really think pac is going to be able to knockout the best fighter at 140 in the world that will be a very live fighter that night unlike de la hoya was against pac....I think were overestimating the pac power at 140 or against any elite live fighter above 130....

what you guys think?

i think some of pacman fans are overestimating his power but i think you are underestimating him either.nobody ever dominated dela hoya like manny did...nobody,not even floyd or bhop,who predicted a ko for oscar b4 that fight but gave pacquiao all the credit in the world after.but ofcourse,we can always make excuses that does not sound like it.what's funny is ricky said he could have beaten oscar easier than manny did,ridiculous!he koed jlc with a very good bodypunch but he did not beat tzu,collazo or lazcano imo.is'nt jmm an elite fighter above 130 now?but again we can make another excuses that does not sound like it...

[talip bin osman]

instead of thinking fans r overestimating pacquiao's power bcoz of what he did to ODLH, weight drained this, shot fighter that, anybody could hav KOed ODLH that night crap...

think of it this way...

people except the nuthuggers are actually underestimating MP's power all the more bcoz of that ODLH fight...

u think hatton is really thinking about pacquiao's power? u think he is worried about it? i doubt it man... he is always saying he is the bigger and more powerful guy @ 140... i think he is the one who is underestimating pacquiao's power...
