| | Senior Member | Hatton vs.Pacquiao Havent watched much boxing lately, but im actually pretty interested in this fight.
They are doing a weekly series on HBO that chronicals each guys path to the ring this coming weekend.
All kinds of storylines, smack talk etc.
I love how Hatton hired Maywethers dad after he got beat by him he looks more like a boxer than a brawler now....
any interest? |

| This is going to be an entertaining fight, but unless i can find a decent number of people to come watch it, i'll be trying for find a free stream online. I've followed both these guys for a while, and i just can't see Ricky winning, though i thought the same against Kostya Tszyu. From about the 7th round of the 2nd Erik Morales fight, Manny has been unreal. Hatton's MO for defeating more skilled boxers is wearing them down with pressure and attacking the body through loose, tired defense. I haven't seen Pacquiao worn out often as of late, other than theJMM fight that i feel he might have lóst, but JMM anD Ricky are different ánimals. As much as i'd like for Hatton to win, I see this one being stopped in 8 or 9 by TKO. |

| Glad Ricky will be facing a top boxer at light-welter(at the time i believed that Hatton vs Mayweather at light-welter Hatoon would have won), alot of my mates think it will be a quick win for Pacquiao but hoping it will be a 10+ rounder.
JTD is right i think Mayweather Snr has been an excellent hire for Hatton my only hope is that his condition begins to improve to a boxing great |
