Who is not convinced about..........

[Dynamite Kid]

Who is not convinced about how good Pacquiao is or being hyped up to be? I love watching Pacquiao fight and i have nothing against him, but i cant help think he getting vastly overrated.

What is more worrying is the amount of band wagoners/fanboys that have joined team Pacquaio. I feel sorry for Pacquiao, because WHEN he loses those same people that are success only fans will drop him and chastise him if he gets beaten badly. I believe he will lose soon. Not because he is not a good fighter and not because im a hater or i dislike him, but simply the fact that he is consistently fighting good opposition. Pac should learn from Joe and Floyd. The way to stay undefeated is to fight who YOU want, not who the public expect you to fight.

I will always be a Pac fan, but from a distance. I wont be shocked when he loses ...........about how many of these huggers will of disappeared and moved onto the next successful fighter who is flavour of the month.

Pacquiao is great, of that there is no doubt, but you always have to expect the top guys to start to be overrated by the majority after a period of time. It happens constantly no matter which top tier fighter you reference.

a lot of people thought he lost to juan manuel marquez twice. he definitely has flaws, and marquez showed that he's beatable, but man is he fun to watch. just enjoy watching him while he's around.

Yeah true. More often than not it seems to be those kinda fans that disrespect those fighters when they fall short, and never stick by them after a defeat.

Overall he ain't overhyped imo. It just comes off that way right now. Goin into the Hatton fight, everybody mostly thinks Hatton is a ****in dead man, and that makes Pac look like more of a beast.

Watched some highlights of the Marquez 1 fight . He was lucky in that one but judging by his last couple of performance's he looks better , Diaz , Oscar dominated them both . Ain't seen the MAB fight tbh . Hatton Pac is a hard one to pick for me tbh but if I had to pick a winner with money on it i'd pick Pacquiao to win .

Can you elaborate on how he's being overrated? Give examples of what you see that will allow Hatton to beat him. What from the De La Hoya fight, Marquez fights, Diaz fight, Barrera fights, Morales fights did you see that makes you 100 % sure that Pacquiao will be the loser?

To be honest, all I've seen are signs that Pacquiao has everything needed to beat Hatton.

If you take a look at the fights that Pacquiao has lost or come close to RECENTLY, not talking 20 years ago when he was first starting out, but RECENTLY against class opposition, he's had the toughest time against fighters who are GREAT boxers.

How exactly is Hatton going to stop Pacquiao from being outside?

One could say, "He's going to go to the body"

But when people say that, they are either purposely ignoring, or simply are ignorant to the fact that Hatton has no defense when going for the attack.

We saw this against Collazo, we saw this against Mayweather, we saw this against Lazcano, and we saw this against Malignaggi.

Floyd Sr may have helped improve his offense a bit, but after the Mayweather KO, he got hurt SERIOUSLY numerous times by Lazcano (and please dont say he wasnt hurt, the footage has been posted too many times to do it again). He was being tagged by Malignaggi numerous times when coming in, but Paulie can't crack an eggshell.

so what exactly is going to stop Manny from popping him, then dipping and going latteral soon as Hatton gets in range?

Hatton is not Marquez or Morales. He doesn't have the ring smarts to trap Manny, to time Manny, to trick Manny. So how?

I think Pacquiao will win the fight. Ive bet on Hatton, because of the odds and, because he has A chance. I expect Pacquiao to lose most of the early rounds whilst Hatton is fresh, but i think Hatton's punch resistance has gone and when the pace slows down his lack of defence will cost him.

I dont really see anyone at 140 and below that can beat Pacquiao. WW is another story.

i think his last two opponents have helped to make him look a little bit quicker and sharper than he would have looked if he was against a better fighter.
