17 experts pick Manny Pacquiao to defeat Ricky Hatton

[kjmalc]

The current issue of The Ring magazine has 21 pages dedicated to live coverage of the upcoming fight between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. One of the features has 20 experts predicting the winner of the fight and 17 have picked Pacquiao. The three experts who have selected Hatton are Steve Bunch (television commentator) by late-round stoppage; Mark Collings (Esquire UK) mid- to late-round stoppage and Stuart Brennan (Manchester Evening News), possibly late-round stoppage.

Interestingly, two men who have fought Hatton -- Paulie Malignaggi and Luis Collazo -- both pick Pacquiao to win. And David Diaz, who fought Pac Man, also picks Manny by TKO.

They also picked DLH to beat Pacquiao. Lets face it, the so called "experts" dont know **** if it came out their ass.

You mean Steve Bunce right?

If he picks Hatton, I would advise everyone to go with Pacman, guy is a class a **** jockey.

Some Of Us Here On Boxingscene Could Be Considered "Experts" Just as Much As Any Of Them.

Hatton is being underestimated alot. Maybe he should even be the favourite.
Hatton struggles against southpaws and mannys speed will give him problems but Pacquiao has been knocked out with bodyshots before and hatton has good power and is a body puncher.
Pacquiao hasnt really fought anyone serious above 130 either
