With all the articles and the opinions from boxing experts praising MP for his past performances going through the fight with Hatton,it is given that Pacquaio has the edge.However,I can't help but think otherwise that the praises,the review,the analysis that are given to him at the moment were also given to Dela Hoya prior to his confrontation with Pacquiao.Unfortunately,with all the analysis going for Dela Hoya to expectedly win the fight...THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED.
Hatton is not Hatton for nothing.Admittedly he is not as fast as Pacquaio but his punches, if it hits it's target can really spell some difference to this fight.
Now,the question arises....
---IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE FOR HATTON TO WIN?---
the question should be:
it is really possible for pacquiao to win?
• hatton is stronger than pac, having KOed bigger guys
• hatton chin @ 140 is ROCK SOLID! this was the guy who just laughed at the powerful blows of the strongest fighters at 140 (p4p elite kostya and urango)
• hattons left lead followed by a right hook is a class of its own. its quick enough to give anybody trouble
• pac has never faced anybody who cut off the ring as brilliant as hatton
• hattons footwork was superb. even slick boxer malignaggi was a total failure in keeping hatton at bay
• hatton was the better infighter between the two
Q: if hatton was able to close the gap between him and mayweather, what pac could offer to keep hatton off him?
