    Hatton is not the underdog

    Las Vegas bookies are basing the favorite on Pac's last performance. They are hardly the genuine fans of the sport that look at each and every piece of the puzzle. Yes, they know statistics and ****, but they don't know combats sports like experts. It's not like basketball, baseball, or other sport where the best team can pretty much beat worse teams. Fighting is relative and each fight is different. Hatton appears to be the favorite among boxing experts. And it's funny when they all say that Hatton might pull the upset, because the only people who think Pac is the favorite (not including true Pac fans) are the Las Vegas bookies and gamblers. Most boxers, analysts, commentators and trainers seem to be leaning toward Hatton, because of his size and strength.

    Is this a joke? Nearly every boxing "expert" is picking Pacquiao. 17 out of 20 Ring experts pick Pacquiao. Heck, even the majority of this website's boxing experts pick Pacquiao. The only people picking Hatton are the British and the few in the know..

        Fail.

        Hatton is a huge underdog, and im not surprised. Pacquiao will win this fight quiet easily and im ready to bet all my points on it.

          You don't seem to understand how betting shops work. They don't have any agenda in having Pacquiao as favourite, that's just where the money's gone. For example, if thousands of people started to bet on Hatton then Hatton would be the favourite going into the fight. No bookie has Pacquiao favourite because they think he is going to win, they're just working the odds to make them as much money as possible

            I don't know where you got that **** but the only one of note that picked Hatton was Teddy Atlas and that alone should tell you everything.

                  Hatton certainly has a fair shot at victory, but let's be honest, Pacquiao should whoop him!

                  Pacquiao is a full level above Hatton, and Hatton's punch resistance is fading fast
