As expected, the majority of the fighters polled went for Hatton, who in the eyes of many is a big underdog. [details]

i wouldn't expect calzaghe to know anything about actual boxing strategy. his whole strategy was that judges like punches so im gonna throw a lot in the general vicinity of my opponent. i might hit him but i might not . big might by the way.Originally posted by Al Coholic View Post What do you expect from a guy that can't throw a punch?Comment

Hatton is a live dog.....
Yes, Froch Calzaghe and Haye are all UK biased for a Hatton victory, that's no surprise. I know everyone is on the Pacquiao war wagon but I am pulling for Hatton here and I firmly believe Pacquiao gets KOed in 6 via vicious body assault along the ropes. Anyone care to wager this? I don't have all the points in the world but I am ready to put some on the line and sig it with whoever is wanting to gamble a bit.Comment

No point of getting their point of views since all four are biased. Calzaghe, Haye, Froch of course won't go against their countryman even though I'm sure all three of them favor pacquiao to win. And froch basically summed it up saying if the ref lets Hatton to cheat by clinching and hitting he probably can pull the upset off. While Warrens point of view sounded something from a disgruntled ex-promoter who was pissed that Hatton left him.Comment
