Can Hatton withstand Manny's Power?

[FLY TY]

Manny doesn't hit that hard above 130. That's pretty much proven by his last two fights were it took an age of beating David Diaz to death to finally put him down, and then hitting ODLH at will but at no point did Oscar look like being KO'd.

His speed will be a problem and he will catch Hatton alot no doubt, but the real question is can Manny withstand Hattons power, strength and relentless aggressiveness? I think the answer is definitely not.

Ricky is gonna be the bigger guy and punch power has a reduced effect against bigger opponents. Just look at Ricky when he moved up to 147, his punches had no where near the impact it has at 140. The same will be evident for Manny on May 2nd, if its not already clear at 135.

agree 100%.

i think it's going to more of whether hatton can deal with pacqiuao's speed? the power of pacs punch is going to play an important part in this fight. with speed comes power but it's not the same power as if manny was a natural ko artist, which he is not.

so, as it was said before, if pacquiao can't keep hatton off of him and can't get hatton to respect his power, it's going to be a long night for manny.....


speed and slickenss is more of the issue than power.........

Hatton is not gonna come in dehydrated like other fighters.....and manny doesn't have alot of power...he couldn't even ko a dehydrated old shot dlh...

manny is very technical and has good speed...his power is obsolete against a bigger hatton...

If all these people think Manny doesn't have the power to knock out Hatton, they at least gotta believe Manny will keep pounding on Hatton's face and turn it into one bloody mess !!!! Which will happen with a TKO victory for Manny.
