2 years ago, Pacman had no chance against Hitman

[Titing Kabayo]

Assuming it's 2007 and the fight with David Diaz and Oscar is not happening yet... Who will give Manny a chance against Ricky?

[-Antonio-]

Honestly...I gave him a chance. I said all along Pac was special enough of an athlete to move up as high as 140 and beat Hatton.

[J.B.moneY.]

yea i agree 2 years ago nobody would have given him a chance....then about a week before the oscar fight...its was about 60 or 70% in favor of hatton....and today its like 60 or 70% in favor of pac....interesting how perceptions change in boxing

2 years ago i would say pac is too small... i still believe pac is too small for hatton

[MANGLER]

I never woulda thought he could beat him a couple yrs back. I ain't swayed by the DLH fight about him bein a WW, but his performance against Diaz convinced me that at 135-140 he can beat some other guys.

I would not have as much confidence with Pac as I do now. If it were Pac right after the Marquez 2 fight, I would favor Hatton.

Pac fighting Hatton right outta 130, I would lean towards Hatton and I think most of the boxing community would too for the simple fact that we would all still have the question "Can Pacquiao carry his weight, speed, and power at 140". Obviously we have the answer now.

2 years ago PAC was too small even for LW ...

[The_Demon]

i wouldnt have given him a chance then,for obvious reasons.he still has a lot 2 prove above 130.the hatton fight will do that

You can go back 2 years from ESB & I have the same tune. I Picked Pac by dominating KO win over Hatton right after the Pac-EM3 fight. I even bet a Lifetime bet against ESB wannabe expert KG208. Even the pac fans thinks I'm crazy.


Here's one from Dec 2007:

And, yes, I speak English

I bet my House, My soul, My name, Pac KAYOs Hatton. I just watch PBF_Hatton in Slowmo. Hatton will turn into English Pinata. That will be Pac's Pinata for his 30th bday next year. Mark my words on This. This fight could happen end of next year or early 2009. Pac will retire Hatton. Is there any Bigger fight for hatton other than Pac 140 & Below???? This will happen... I can't wait.

After Pac retires Hatton, Floyd will come out of retirement just to fight Pac. Floyd got old & rusty, Pac got Bigger Physically, Pac will have a better chance, I give him 50-50 chance.

DLH-Pac only if DLH can make 147.

If hatton pulls it out the bad thing is that Flloyd Sr. will get almost all the credit. I don't see it happening but, I've seen stranger things happen!
