Calzaghe, Haye, Froch, Warren on Pacquiao-Hatton

[Dave Rado]

he fought JLC who took a dive

Most ridiculous post I've ever seen from you, trainhard. Castillo had four broken ribs from that punch. You may as well say that Taylor took a dive against Froch.

And why do you keep bringing up the Lazcano fight, when Hatton was so far below his normal standards in that fight that he immediately sacked Graham and teamed up with Floyd Snr as a direct result of that performance - yet despite that, he still won 10 out of 12 rounds? He was above his normal standards in his next fight. And although feather-fisted, Malignaggi was The Ring's #1 contender, and most people predicted that he would out-box Hatton, at least in the early rounds, instead of which he was dominated for every minute of every round.

And under the rules of boxing, the person who wins a fight is the person who the judges score the fight to, not the person who trainhard scores it to. You may disagree with the judges, but that's just your opinion. The fact is that Collazo lost to Hatton - look it up on boxrec if you don't believe me. And although controversial, the fight was very close, and no very close fight can ever be called a robbery; and a lot of boxing experts scored it narrowly to Hatton. If Hatton "lost" that fight then Pac "lost" both his fights with JMM.

Plus Hatton was fighting Collazo outside his peak weight division, where his power and speed are not as good as they are at 140; whereas he'll be fighting Pac at his peak weight class of Jnr Welterweight.

You also didn't mention that he completely dominated Urango and Maussa.

It's one thing for you to say that you think Hatton will lose, but the completely irrational and bitter-sounding way you trash his record is getting old.

ALL British fighters are biased....they will probably get there asses handed to them if they said the non-British fighter will win....the betting odds in vegas which are the most non-biased you can get is 2-1 Pacquaio favorite to win! money talks!

BBC Sport made contact with some of the biggest and most well known names in British boxing. The news outlet got their predictions on the upcoming fight between countryman Ricky Hatton and the pound-for-pound king, Manny Pacquiao. The fight takes place on May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. As expected, the majority of the fighters polled went for Hatton, who in the eyes of many is a big underdog. [details]

Fluctuation in weight? What the hell are you talking about. He came in at 148 during the DLH fight and has no problem making 140. Ricky came down from 160 after his layoff against Paulie.

I agree with Froch, Hatton can win if he fights his style which is the same style he used to maul and brawl up Kotsya. Team Pac and Roach know for sure not to stand in front of Hatton and let him maul forward. That is the only way Hatton can win. Other then that he's a sitting duck and these Hattonites and non believers will again look like fools just as they did on Dec. 7.

Not a totally good strategy for Ricky Hatton to only use his mauling
style because that is what Freddie Roach is expecting and has been
saying throughout this whole promotional tour. Freddie expects Hatton
to be Hatton! Ricky is going to have to pull some tricks out of his bag
& surprise Manny & Roach come fight night.

One thing people might be missing is that all of the fluctuation in weight Pacman has done in the last year CAN'T possibly be a good thing for him.. I hope he has the energy in the tank come fight night... Ricky is gonna be at 150 on fight night... Manny will probably be 143 or 144.. Hydration is very important for Pac at this point.. Hatton should have no problem as he has fought at 140 for most his career.

More like 147-148.

The betting odds are similar in the UK.

Hatton has an outside chance though. Pavlik was 2-1 favourite to beat Hopkins and Margarito was an even stronger favourite to beat Mosley. Upsets happen.

should ask filipino who do they think will win? majority will say Manny
