Hatton could win this fight.

I'm not sure that Hatton will win this fight though.
MP is a very classy boxer.

I like Hatton though - he's a good fighter and a nice guy.

Unless the fight has been transferred to the Philippines, both fighters will be on neutral territory (Las Vegas).

Freddy Roach is a very astute trainer and MP is a class act.

Having said that, hatton has a great coach in Merryweather too and Hatton has a great fighting spirit.

I'm really lloking forward to the fight.

I think it will be a very exciting fight. Very close.

But my prediction is Pacquiaou will take it in the end. If it's a KO decision, it'll be in the latter rounds, and probably only a "technical knockout" at best. Most likely, however, since Hatton doesn't exactly have a glass jaw (understatement) I'm betting it will go to the judges decision.

The only reason I give it to Manny, well, he's got the time tested and approved hard experience, and boxing... it's in the man's blood.


Hahah. But I'd be lying if I said I was unbiased.

Pacman FTW

All of these fine gentlemen have good advice, and I'd say Ricky's got a good Chance, if he's listening.

Hatton is going to get beat down

 

[tubuler]

Pac is too fast. Hatton will have trouble with him just like he had trouble with Mayweather Jr.

Pac wins by decision.

Ricky Hatton is world class fighter and Pacman made him look like he new to the game. I'm not even going to bother knocking Hatton, Pacman was out for fucking blood. Glad i didnt pay for this.

I like the Hitman, I mean...I've seen a few of his fights, but what happened to him with Mayweather soured my view of him a little. And Pacman; what can't you say about him. He is maybe the best pound for pound, and I just don't see him losing to Hitman (and Pacquiao can sing):

cant belive it, came in after a night out ready to watch and he got done straight away!

I know I should support my fellow countryman, but I wanted Pacquiao to win and he did The man is just class.

I hope he now fights Mayweather and kicks his ass, I hate that guy.
