Pacquiao vs Hatton Predictions

[sunny31]

Ricky looks fantastic in training at the moment, he has really come on with floyd snr. Ever since this fight was made I have been thinking pac...pac...pac. I am not so sure anymore, before I thought it was only a matter of how long hatton lasts, but having thought about it A LOT over the past month or so, I think hatton could win and big, its not that manny isn't the better fighter because he is...by quite a margin in my opinion. But the styles are bad for him, against floyd jnr hatton was opposed with an almost impenetrable defense but thats far from case this time.

Freddie Roach will have to devise a very clever game plan as manny will not be able to lay on the ropes like floyd, and cannot fight on the back foot the whole fight otherwise he'l get steamrollered. I think he will have to get a foothold in this fight early and hurt hatton early and often. If the fight is pretty even by the half way stage and manny hasn't taken some sting out of hatton I like ricky's chances of a stoppage

Pac has been quite capable not moving forward(ofcourse ricky's pressure he never had to deal with). Hatton bulldozes his way forward to get closer and land those bodyshots.I cant see HIm back pedalling and be successfull.imo.

if hatton can cut the ring off well i think he could bully pacuiao into submission.theres a lot of ifs and buts though and ricky cant take to many big shots coming in

My thought exactly, if he somehow withstand Pacs Assault to land a perfect bodyshot he might stop pacquiao.Im not to confident with Pac's Body toughness yet.

i dont think its just the body hes got 2 be worried about.hattons handspeed is decent and he hits hard,he was rocking malignaggi everytime he landed a jab.and if pac stays inside for 2 long with his flurries he will get punished.ricky will get cut imo but he has dealt with that before and hopefully it wont become a major factor

I see pac's chin suspect above 130 if he gets caught real good

Its just the body for me and the clinching/hugging/infighting.Pac's right hook may hurt hatton too if hes overly concern with the straight left.

well exactly its never been tested,and he is a great boxer but he will get hit a lot in this fight no doubt

i think if hatton really has changed his ways and doesnt get hit 2 much by pacquiao i think his pressure and rough-house tactics could wear manny down and frustrate him which is wot ricky needs imo

[Clint650]

Hatton is overrated, but only as a WW. if he never ventured into the WW division, im sure we'd be talking about him in a whole different light.

I see hatton getting hit in the face more than ever, It may take a lot but no way hes gonna last 12 rounds.imo.
