you think people are basing it on the oscar fight!even without that people already know whos the better boxer overall.you could say it's his 1st time at 140,true but he walks around at 155 in shape not fighting!Comment

I've always maintained weight is overrated when it comes to boxing, people put too much stock into a few pounds (at least on this site they do!). Pacquiao might be pushing the envelope a bit at 147, but at 140 I feel he should win this fight. Height and reach are far more important physical advantages than weight or build of a fighter imo, and honestly pacquiao and hatton are pretty close in overall size.
Now if Hatton wins, I'm going on record right now I'll give hatton all the credit in the world and there will be no excuses other than "Ricky had the right gameplan" or "Ricky's style worked perfectly against Pacman."
On the other hand, if Pacquiao wins SPEED is a legitimate reason why he would win, that and him being the overral better boxer/fighter.Comment

I agree with this post...I do think size does matter, but its not like the end all be all stat.....and the reach advantage for pac is a little misleading hatton has always been at disadvatage in the reach department.....if manny wins it will be speed and overall skills.....but being the better skilled does not mean you will win the fight.I've always maintained weight is overrated when it comes to boxing, people put too much stock into a few pounds (at least on this site they do!).

I really don't think size is a big issue, especially these days when fighters come in weighing anywhere from 1 to 30 pounds over the agreed upon weight when they enter the ring, it's something that fighters deal with almost every single fight.
agreed.but being the better skilled does not mean you will win the fight.
