Does Hatton/Pacquiao have potential to be another Hagler/Hearns?

[adobostreak]

what do you think

[Jayseen]

Never

[NakiFan]

What exactly do you mean?

[BmoreBrawler]

I would say yes, but I don't think Hatton has the chin.

[MANGLER]

No way in hell.

[larry x]

you mean a very short fight???????????

[larry x]

I would say yes, but I don't think Hatton has the chin.

neither did hearns

[Thread Stealer]

I don't think it'll be like that. I doubt the action will be as fluid.

Hagler changed his style to be as aggressive as possible. Hagler also had an iron chin. Hatton's aggressive style is different. There's more mauling, holding, and breaks in action. Despite being under Floyd Sr, I think Hatton will fight Pacquiao more like he did Tszyu than he did, say, Tackie. He'll try to show a more scientific approach in spots, but will also try to lean on Pacquiao and wrestle a bit, as Pacquiao has never been in with as large an opponent as Hatton other than Oscar De La Zombie.

I seriously doubt that.

Hagler vs Hearns has gone down as one of the best 3 rounds in boxing ever.

If both these fighters come in with everything they have, it will be a short night. I don't think either fighter is going to be as crazy as Hearns to just throw logic out of the window and stand toe to toe with his opponent. I think we are going to see a very good fight with a lot of back and forth action but it will never ammount to the type of action that was delivered the night of April 15th 1985. I would much rather see a longer fight. I am picking Pac in 5 but I think Im blowing hot air out the side of my neck with that prediction.
