That's the whole point,as i have no money in the bank but do have on blonde so am basically offering someone a freeroll as i want a bet on the fight and think hatton will win and is a huge price at 2/1 obv a cuda said 15/8 but 7/4 will do

Will Manny being southpaw make much difference? I saw Hatton look pretty average against a leftie when he stepped up a weight (might have been against Collazo?) that was under Graham and not at his weight but i thought the left handed thing was a bit of an issue too.

Collazo makes everyone he fights look bad - he's an awkward, ugly fighter. 

Pacquiao is undoubtedly quick and accurate - but unlike De La Hoya, Hatton will not be a static target or give Pacquiao the space and opportunity to work openings.  My worry is if Hatton cuts early.  That problem seems to have been sorted, but fast chopping punchers are the ones who open cuts.

Agreed, for some reason Freddie Roach thinks it will be an early KO for Pacman, but I cant see him being able to do that, much more likely he wins on points if he does win. For me, Hatton is too big, too powerful, too conditioned and too fast (Pacman is faster, but Hatton will be a shit load faster than De La Hoya was). Could go either way though, such an interesting match, thank god boxing is producing interesting encounters like this, Hatton vs Mayweather, Haye vs Klitchsko, Khan vs Barrera, Hopkins vs Pavlik etc etc. Belts mean sod all, its about exciting fights.

I want Ricky to win, I think he will, but the boxing purist in me also wants to see Pacman vs Mayweather, which would probably happen if he won.

Yes, people seem to think that Hatton is a slow, cumbersome plodder.  This isn't the case.  He throws a lot of fast punches from different angles.  Yes, he might have to walk through a few of Pacquiao's shots to get in close - but we'll see how concussive Pacquiao is when he catches Hatton.

I'm loving these match ups too.  It's the only way the alphabet soup of organisations and belts was ever going to be sorted - ignore them and just get the best to fight the best.

I think Lewis unifying the belts killed the value of them off (It probably was the death of heavyweight boxing too). Belts only really mean something if there is some sort of extra achievement added to them like defending the same belt for X years or winning belts at X different weights.
