Many bookies have Pac 1/2 on over Hatton.

Those are terrible odds I think, they are basically saying Hatton has no chance.

It's not even worth betting on Pac at that price.

Being a 2:1 underdog isn't saying that you have no chance. Being a 10:1 underdog is saying that you have (virtually) no chance.

Shane Mosley was a 4:1 underdog vs Margarito

Sweetest $400 I ever made.

When I saw those odds, I shat myself laughing.

What he said. In boxing terms those odds are actually pretty close. Remember as well that odds are only indirectly determined by 'chances of winning'. They are directly determined by where the punters are currently putting their money, which isn't necessarily the same thing and sometimes can be significantly different, particularly when 'big' events attract bets from folks who don't bet often.
