Anybody staying "Neutral" for the Hatton vs. Pacquiao fight? very hard to root again

[Mayorga-Rules]

I like both of the fighters and i don't have anything about either winning. Sometimes i say i prefer Ricky, sometimes i prefer Manny. I saw their training and from that, it would be sad to see a loser; but that's the game. There can only be one Lion in the jungle.

So, may the best win this fight.

[MindBat]

So?

I think in a way, it's a little easier to root for Pac than Hatton, but I also think Hatton may need this a little more than Pac as far as legacy. People are basically ****ting on him right now and being the underdog, it can possibly make you lean towards rooting for him, however; how do you root against Pac given all he has done in and outside the ring?

I think the only solution for me is to either see a draw or to see a double KO

Let the best Man win. I'm cool with whatever happens.
I hope it is a Gatti-Ward type fight though.

I'm with you on this one.

“The whole country will watch,” Pacquiao said. “When I fight there is no crime, no traffic, you cannot see a car outside. There is a ceasefire for one day to watch the fight.”

Can you imagine everybody in the country just getting along for one day?

Criminals postponing their crimes on victims 'til the next day...

Bank robbers returning the money to the banks...

Prisoners being let free until the fight is over.. then put back in the cage...

Dope dealers selling flowers for a change...

Carjackers returning the cars back to the owners for the day....

******s and Christians all sitting down together in rapt attention to the fight with no war between them for that one day...

Man! The possibilities for peace are endless on fight night.

It's hard to root against either guy, they're both so likeable.

Same here. They both seem to be great individuals.

I like both guys as human beings and fighters......but you can look at the sig for who i'm rooting for.....the "manchester rocky"

Yep. I'd like to see Ricky one this one too.

I hope Hatton wins, but have no problems if he looses as i realy like Pac too.

Ditto.

Like both fighters and hoping for a great fight. I'm British so going to be cheering on Hatton. Didn't give him any chance against Mayweather but think he has a great chance in this. Hatton by 10th round stoppage.

[-X-]

I love Hatton i think hes a hell of a guy that doesnt take himself too seriously and is a hell of a fighter, not to say Manny isnt but im a Hatton fan.

[Derranged]

At the moment Im neutral, but as the fight goes on I'll wind up going for one of them, always happens.

Yeah, me too probably. I'm just not sure I can see myself rooting against Pac, and I think I could make it a lot easier on myself if I go watch that Tszyu vs. Hatton fight again, so.....Hatton's getting KTFO...Go Pacman

Kidding.

Still not sure.

You still have Pac being the heavy favorite even though I think Hatton could win this one and Hatton needs this win more as far a boxing legacy since everybody is ****ting on his picture and will cast him aside with a loss, which can help in rooting for him to win since he is the under-dog...but how do you root agaisnt Pac? Eh...
Pac's like a walking symbol of what an under-dog is.
Even though some of his wins are overrated.



I'll see Saturday.

i'll be cheering on pac, but I know hatton's grappling skills are just too good and pac just doesn't fight dirty like that.

[Sparked_1985]

I want Ricky to win. In the end I always end up rooting for the British fighter so I'm going to stop lying to myself when I pretend I can sit on the fence.

That's one thing that has me: How dirty will Hatton be in the fight?
If he is real dirty, I could see me rooting for Pac to kick his ass.


But then I look at the trainers: to be honest, I think Freddie has a real dirty side to him...specifically about choosing opponents on the slide/past their prime and wanting fighters to come down in weight so they show up dead...and admitting it (but I guess at least he is honest about it).
He's even said Hatton isn't the same since losing to Floyd...but credit for Pac who Freddie said told him he would rather fight Floyd than Hatton because Floyd beat Hatton.

While Floyd Joy seems more honorable with this regard.


Plus, you notice Floyd and Pac get dressed up in suits while Hatton and Roach look like they are on there way to the gym...interesting.

I think it's better for boxing in general if Ricky wins. It sets up some really good matches for the future.
