Ricky Hatton will beat Manny Pacquiao.

[Tony Jones]

I think Hatton takes this. Oscar was like a moving piece of dead meat in that fight, Hatton wont be.

[Ribitton]

I just think that manny would just be too fast and too strong for hatton.

I just watched again the JLC and PBF vs Hatton fights. Whats Hatton repeatedly do was go attack forward both gloves on his chest, throw a punch then hold and wrestle then throw some combinations to the head and body. To neutralize this kind of offense Manny with faster accurate punches will simply insert the straight left lead to Hatton's wide open face (Manny able to slip it in Oscar face all night long even Oscar gloves were covering his entire face) when Hatton go forward and try to do the above attack sequence then Manny side step to the right and circle to avoid Hatton of getting hold on him or he just simply jump backward with his faster footwork. The mistake on JLC fight he allowed Hatton to do those attack sequence. Manny will not allow him to do that and will simply use his superior hands and foot speed to counter punch him. On PBF fight, the ref did not allowed him, halted and separate them immediately thereby disrupting Hatton rhythm in the process.

In Malignaggi fight he didn't hold much (which is good on Manny's favor) but his defense was still in minimal, gloves always below on his face with very little head movement inviting Manny's straight left and right hook that normally he can avoid on slower hands speed opponent. Malignaggi had some success repeatedly hitting his face but theres no power behind with it. Manny will just simply tear his face if he allowed that and don't cover his face.

If Ricky can get inside in do what he usually good at it. He has a better chance of winning this fight but since this fight probably will happen in Las Vegas. The ref will be crucial to the outcome of this fight. If the ref dont allow Hatton to do the wrestling, clinching and mauling etc..as the Mayweather fight. This will be a big disadvantage to Hatton physically as he was the stronger, powerful body puncher inside and mentally as he may thought the ref bias will have a psychological impact.

So if he will force to fight from the outside...Pac handspeed and faster footwork will come into play. From safe distance,Pacman has the ability with his footwork speed that he can close the gap between his enemy in micro seconds and fire his lightning 1-2 combos and circle to right then out into safe distance. Adding to the fact that Hatton has little lateral, body, and head movements Pac will land first accurately with left lead or right hooks on his face if he attack recklessly that may cause an early cuts as he easily get cut. We might see another Diaz and ODLH type fight but a much closer fight.

Once again... speed will be a factor and will comes into play. He's just too fast. You can't hurt what you can't catch.

to the person who likes fight night weights rickys perfect in ring weight according to him and kerry kays is around 153 against collazo after the weigh in he bulked up as much as he cud to make him more a welterweight but it just made him sluggish. he entered the ring around the 159 mark.
call me clueless but i cant see hatton losing this fight , pac aint had a competitive fight since he moved up from super feather , diaz was slow and limited and oscar was weight drained to **** so he had a couple off stiffs in there that would make him look a million dollers. rickys speed and stamina is the key to winning this fight and if he can fight fight at 100mph for 12 rounds hes gonna get a clear ud or a late stoppage. the manchester mexican is gonna seek revenge for hes best friend in boxing who happens to be a big ricky hatton fan marco antonio barrera.

As if Malignaggi and Lazcano are victories to brag about(lol)

We might see another Diaz and ODLH type fight but a much closer fight.

Which one is it? Your whole post is contradictory of itself.
It cannot be anything like the last 2 Pacquiao fights and be considered close. It's obvious that you are a biased Manny fan and that's okay. But stick to things you know about is my advice to you.

Hatton is allot faster and moves more than a faded Oscar and has always been allot better than the slow and plodding Diaz.

We shall see.

I think hatton is gonna win to......

weight is not an issue. yes 140 is hattons domain but pac is a fighter like armstrong where the weight classes doesn't really count. he is a force from 135 to 147. Hatton may be stronger however pac has speed footwork heart to neutralise all that. i cant see hatton beating the best fighter on the planet.
