Hatton v Pacquiao

[phatomch]

i knew Pac-man would win I had him on round 4-6 on betfair but Htton was taken apart, pac man has moved through 10 weight classes and is easily the best fighter I have seen in a long time, taking nothing away from Hatton who has been great over the years and who has only every lost to the 2 top boxers in his weight classes, but it was always gonna be a easy win.

But I did win £800 in a cash game against my mates whilst waiting for the fight to come on

Turns out DLH aint that bad!

Pac vs PBF would be the biggest fight since Ray Leonard vs Hagler. If the fight goes ahead at welterweight and Pac wins, he would be the first and only 7 weight champion.

Trolling surely?

Just caught up with this thread.

Why would this be trolling? am i not allowed to go against a home town hero? Who clearly isn't a hero (good fighter yes, but abused the sport to much that its finally caught up)

Ive backed against hatton his last three fights, pity i didn't see this early round knockout coming, 2nd round was roughly 100/1 too!

FML

Personally i don't mind the guy, i just think he's abuse the sport and his body to much to survive, mainly cos i think he's to much of a chive!

He shoulds retire now, and save face on a great career.

agreed, biggest fight in my adult life, hope it happens.

just watched the fight back and freddie roach is so right, hatton cocking his punches and getting right hooked every time. don't like to watch as my emotions are mixed, i've loved watching both of them for years and not nice to see a home town hero get totally bettered. hope he retires and we see him commentating coz hes an interesting and likeable character.

Surely he's far too young to quit?

I just don't get the impression that Hatton is the sort of guy who would want to retire with a defeat...

i dont think he would want to go out like that either but i think alot of people want him to retire

[kinboshi]

Hatton will still fight witter (and win) or fight Khan and who knows?,

I keep hear people saying that but why though?

[Nem]

There's still a lot of money to be made by Hatton, notably against British fighters like Khan and Witter and also against International stars like DLH and Cotto.

If it happens at welter Pacman will lose. As the man with the cards at present he should ask for it at the weight he wants.

Didn't people say he would lose to De Le Hoya when he stepped up weight divisions?

His power, hand speed and accuracy seems to be uneffected by the weight he's fighting at.

Saying that I think PBF would win even if it was at light-welter but it would be close

[DaveShoelace]

Hatton didnt look right at all the other night, but on reflection, I think Pacman would have won regardless of which Hatton he got.

Pacman is simply amazing, considering he started as a 7 stone fighter, he still has a huge punch alongside his speed and skill, bring on Mayweather please. I know think Pacman is the best boxer on the planet.

I don't think its the end for Hatton, however I do think retiring wouldnt be a bad idea. He certainly could still make plenty of money and for me, Khan is a huge domestic fight, but he could come a cropper there if he isn't careful. Witter would be about as big a step down as is humanly possible for him, although it would settle a £50 bet between me and my Dad if they did fight.

Hatton clearly has a career as a boxing pundit/tv personality/question of sport captain and at one point during the fight I was worried he might suffer a serious injury, he is the sort of fighter who could end up a vegetable, so personally I'd like him to retire, but will still watch him if he doesn't.

If Hatton isn't going to retire i want him to fight Khan and destroy him. Otherwise i agree he should retire and avoid ending up permanently disabled.
