Hitman vs. Pacman

[KenshiRyan]

So the fight's coming up! Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquaio,
Really looking foward to it, looks like it guna be a good fight.

Who do you guys think will win? and How do you think it will go?, My instinct says to go for Manny I mean he's a beast!, but there's something about Hatton at the moment that tells me he's guna give manny a run for his money so it's hard to count him out...

Let hear what you guys think!

Hatton bigger,Paq man better,Im going Pacquaio but my heart wants Hatton.

same as fire cobra on this one.
hatton has had to change trainer and change his boxing to bring his game up, pacman is doing the same thing hes always done and hes also a better boxer than hatton.

however hatton has power pacman doesnt and hatton is tough as old boots. pacman will have to be careful not to get hit too many times and hatton may struggle to actually hit pacman, same as he did with mayweather.

however his training may have paid off, i just think its hard to add a lot in a short space of time but im sure hatton will be a better boxer than we have seen before.
will be a great fight and whoever wins will no doubt fully deserve the win.
two awesome, awesome fighters.

Boy was I wrong! what a one sided fight!, I was truly impressed by Pacquaio and amazed at the knock out power he showed on both hands through out the fight.

Pacquaio vs. Mayweather now that's guna be a fight!
although by the looks of Pacquaio right now, I cant even see mayweather stopping him.

The fight of Pacman and Hitman,is really exciting,when I look their fight,I observed pacman,He do his very best to win the fight, he is very fast.

Mayweather for the win over Pac, he didnt really impress me by beating Hatton to tell the truth.

Hatton is obviously well and truly a has been and Pac is in the now.

Mayweather is the best boxer that i have ever watched, through and through, his technique and conditioning is what will see him win.

My 2cents

[KenshiRyan]

hmm True, I mean on reflection Hatton was fighting pretty poorly in my opinion, and wasn't learning from his mistakes in the first round,
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao will deffinately be a great fight, I cant wait to see it.

i dont think hatton was poor. there are only 2 people in the world that have every beaten him, how that can be poor i dont know, manny and mayweather are just in a different class.

[KenshiRyan]

I don't think Hatton as a fighter is poor, but in that fight I feel he was, I mean his hands where hardly up throughout the fight even after the repetitive right hooks he still didn't keep it up to cover,

Don't get me wrong I don't think he could beat pacquiao even if he was top of his game, but I feel on that night he could have done better.

I suppose its easy to say that here (not in the ring with pacquaio) so I Guess It probably came down to Pacquiao not giving him a chance to get his groove going on, its hard to say. Either way I feel Hatton could have done better but it just wasn't his night.
Still an awesome fight from Pacquiao though!

I don't watch boxing as closely as I used to, so I'm not familiar with Pacquiao's fighting style, but if I'm not mistaken - Pacquaio fought like Mike Tyson! (peek-a-boo style)

He crouched alot when he approached Hatton, kept his head constantly moving and blasted unconventional combos (being a southpaw probably helped a little?)

I stayed up to watch all 6 minutes of the fight, and as a big fan I still have to say that I do think Hatton WAS poor. His hands were down, he lead with his head, he came straight forward like a novice, and he walked into every shot. Pacquiao is world class, and he did his job very well on the night, but even he said he was suprised by how easy Hatton made it for him.

Ricky will never change how he fights, and against all of his other opponents his dominant, aggressive, gutsy style has overcome. He has met two people who were simply far better boxers, of that I have no argument. However, I still think he gave a really poor representation of himself on the night.
