Pacquiao vs. Hatton in May

Close to being finalized at 140.

This Hatton will be much, much better than the one PBF faced, but Pac won't be stationary enough for Hatton to affect him. It will be a spectacular fight with Pac winning clearly but both fighters enhancing their legacies.

Re: Pacquiao vs. Hatton in May

This is going to be an exciting fight. Pacman will be a heavy, heavy favorite, but I think it will be an all out brawl and anything can happen with that. Any idea where it will be? Wembley? Manila? Either way should be a crazy atmosphere.

the only chance hatton has if he turns this into a wrestling match....oh wait half of his fights DO turn into wrestling matches. Hugs here, hugs there, hugs everywhere!!

I see this thing going the distance but Pac-man should win.

Re: Pacquiao vs. Hatton in May

Kudos to Pacquiao! He seems to be the only fighter that's willing to duke it out with anyone. And does this guy ever take a vacation??? If anyone deserves a break it's him.

I wish every boxer was like him.

that's the mark of a true champion.....he'll get his break when he retires. If he beats Hatton then proceeds to beat PBF......he WILL go down as the greatest boxing champion of his generation.

Shocked if it isn't Vegas. Hatton has built up enough brand in the States and his fans will travel and the DUMBEST thing Arum could do is not keep Pac stateside to captialize after the Oscar teabagging.

According to Freddie, it'll be in Vegas.

Hatton should get destroyed. It shouldn't even be close. Mayweather knocked out Hatton so tell me why Pacquiao won't?

Re: Pacquiao vs. Hatton in May

On paper it seems Pac man wins but styles make fights. Hatton likes to move forward and grab and wrestle. This may slow Pac down, we will get to see if Pac can fight inside. Not sure how Pac man handles it. Glad to see this fight happen tho. Is the tight on the line.

I am not saying that Pac won't ko Hatton, but the Hatton that Pac is going to face is going to be MUCH, MUCH better than the one PBF faced. There is a reason PBF contracted that fight at 147. Pac will win, but his Hatton win will be much more impressive.
