Ricky Hatton-Manny Pacquiao: Pre-SuperFight Report Card

[GRUSTLER]

These guys are really sucking Pacquiao to put down Pacquiao's
power at B+ and Hatton's power at B at 140? Pacquiao hasn't
even tested his power there? Hatton is over all the bigger
puncher hands down. I have nothing against Manny Pacquiao
as a person and fighter but some of these Boxing Analyst are
going to hard for him.

[GRUSTLER]

not really... just cause you're stronger doesn't mean you're a heavier puncher. just look at tim bradley... he's strong as an ox, but his punches don't have KO power on them.

Come on man, lets be real here. I rarely debate you but this is
BS right here. Ricky Hatton has proved in 140 and 147 that he
has power to shake up or knock a guy down. Manny Pacquiao
connected on Juan Manuel Marquez and knocked him down a
total of 4 times in 2 fights and still the fights were close and
on top of that, 130 was Pacquiao's best weight. Hatton sent
Pauli who has a durable chin almost on his ass on several
occasion with one jab or a hook might I add.

Pacquiao beat up on David Diaz and couldn't drop him till
the 9th rd and beat up on a defenseless Oscar and never
dropped him. Hatton has put down guys with head punches,
body shots, broke ribs and all. These were bigger men
than Manny so it's safe to say that Hatton is the heavier
puncher of the two.

Juan manuel marquez is way better than hatton... So it is not necessary that if juan manuel marquez can do it, it doesn't mean that hatton can also... By the way to compare pac with malinaggi is also a no no since we all know that pac is way better than him...

these guys are really suking pacman off by rating his
power at B+ and Hatton's power at B at 140? Pacquiao hasn't
even tested his power there? Hatton is over all the bigger
puncher hands down. .

was thinking the exact same thing.

Juan manuel marquez is way better than hatton...

Styles make fights. From a purist's point of view, Ali was far better than Norton, but lost to him once and deserved to lose at least one of the rematches. Taylor was a far better boxer than Froch but Froch knocked Taylor out. And so on.

Hatton would probably be the betting favourite to beat Marquez, because Marquez is a natural Super Featherweight, and looks smaller and less powerful than his opponents even at Lightweight. He relied on his superior skills to beat the naturally stronger Juan Diaz, who is not as strong or fast or powerful as Hatton is.

Yeah thats my point... Its useless to give triangular reasoning with boxing... So i just can't give an opinion when others teeling us that JMM did it and for sure hatton can also... Styles makes fight and he will only know during the event...

Yes, especially as JMM is a counter-puncher and Hatton is not: their styles couldn't be more different from each other. Anyway I'm very confident that it will be a great fight.
