Don't sound bad.
The Ring picks Manny to win.

I'm sick of all this talk about 'controlling the distance' and 'whoever is stronger'. It's all garbage. The point is the Pacman is the better boxer, 1-2, out again, 1-2-4, out again, turn the angle. Hatton is not going to know what hit him. People go on about Pac having a weak body and wether he can stand up to the power of Ricky Hatton to the head as well. Well I'm guessing he can considering he took everything Marquez, Morales, Barrera threw at him.
Hatton was in all kinds of trouble against Lazcano and Collazo and no disrespect to either of these fighters but they are not as good or as powerful and quick as Manny.Comment

Outcome: The outcome of this fight will be determined by distance. Whoever can establish it and control it will win. Hatton will be at his best if he can close the distance and impose his size and strength on Pacquiao on the inside. If he can back Pacquiao to the ropes, he can dish out punishment. If he can’t get inside, he’s going to get punished by the quicker, sharper, busier puncher. Hatton will be careful in the early rounds as he tries to employ some of Mayweather’s technique to get in close without getting caught with anything flush. Pacquiao should enjoy success early on using his feet as much as his hands to keep a healthy distance between Hatton and himself, while he peppers the champ with jabs and straight shots to the body. Hatton will land a few counter shots as Pacquiao darts in, which will set off heated exchanges that thrill the crowd. However, as the fight continues, the more consistent offense from Pacquiao -- to the body and head -- will tell on Hatton, whose form and technique will break down with fatigue, setting him up for a late-rounds stoppage that is eerily similar to the one he suffered to Mayweather Jr.
Prediction: Pacquiao wins by ninth-round TKO.

I honestly don't see the logic in these guys who predict Manny win by knockout. Hatton may not be as skilled Pacquiao but he's a fighter used to getting hit an awful lot and against harder hitter than Manny. Manny has a nice left jab but it's not gonna knock Hatton out. If Manny's gonna win and he probably will, it'll be on points.Comment
