I don't think Pac should be the favorite against Hatton

After considering this fight Hatton has never lost at 140 he is not washed up like Oscar, he is not fighting at a weight higher than he has ever fought an elite fight like Pac who has never beat an elite fighter outside of 130, he should be stronger than Pac and nearly as fast at least of foot, and he should be able to rough pac up. At this point the only way I see Pac winning is by cuts which is not out of the question. Saying all that, I hope Pac wins.

 

I slightly favor Manny, but have no problem with Hatton being the favorite.

 

Collazo, Mayweather, McGee all made Hatton look bad with footwork and handspeed.

Manny oozes those things.

Manny should be the favorite...a substantial favorite

 

Am I the only one not excited about this fight or even Manny in general? I preferred him at his more natural weight.

 

You rather see him back down at 130? Not going to happen at this point.

 

......

If Pacquiao wasn't favored over hatton it would be VERY irresponsible bookmaking.

 

Manny beats a completely faded Oscar to a pulp.......and now he's a favorite over Hatton??

Come on.:notallthere:

 

of course. due mostly to perception

 

......

Yeah exactly. If you start Hatton the favorite you would get bet absolutely silly. That would be a horrible line.

 

Kinda funny because Hatton's reputation is made off beating up old men to.

 

When the fight ends with Hatton on his back, you'll see why Manny was the favorite.

 

And Hatton beats Carmine Gotti, and he should be favored over Manny?:notallthere:

 

Exactly. And plus with all the trouble southpaws have given Ricky, its all the more reason why Manny is favored.

Natural weight wont be a favor in this fight. What will be the differance is CLASS. You have a very good fighter in Hatton, fighting a GREAT fighter in Manny. Hatton will fail against a great fighter..... again.

 

Malignaggi is certainly a better win than Oscar at this point.

 

Ummm.... no he's not. I like Paulie, but even a shot Oscar would kick Malignaggi's ass.

 

Not the version Manny beat the hell out of!

No way.

 

:notallthere: Malinaggi barely got by Lovemore Ndou before fighting Hatton. Hell he barely beat Ngoudjo as well.

 

In FACT........I bet Malignaggi would be harder for Manny to beat than Oscar OR Hatton.

 

Oscar kills Malinaggi the guy isn't that good.

 

And your point is?

 

Agreed. Even Stevie Forbes would beat Paulie.

 

And Oscar is fucking shot. WTF??:notallthere:

 

Nope.

 

As easy as Paulie is to hit.... I think he'd be headed straight to the ER if he ever fought Manny. Plus..... I think Malignaggi is over the hill anyway.

 

Yes. Forbes would beat Paulie. That's still not saying that most 140 pounders would though. Paulie is little more than a decent fighter and should really be thrilled with how much he has accomplished.

 

Forbes beat Hopkins, and I'd even pick Demetrius over Paulie. And Forbes just gave Berto a tough fight, and for all the flack Berto gets.... Andre is about 50x better than Paulie.

 

That's where you made your first mistake.....you thought.

You overrateing Manny on a fight against a shot EX great fighter.

You need to re-evaluate

 

What the fuck does this have to do with Manny and Hatton?


You seem to be in love with Manny AND Forbes.:hump:

 

My point is pretty simple unless you are a simpleton. Malinaggi was struggling with mediocre fighters before getting killed by Hatton. Malinaggi isn't very good.

 

And who the fuck has Paulie beaten? Oscar could beat 65 years old and still be better than Edner Cherry, and Lovemore Doodoo.

Paulie isnt even a top 5 fighter at 140.
