Not Right Now

Hatton looks to have improved since his loss to PBF, getting with Mayweather sr. has really helped him get some of that technique he lacked as the powerful brawler with a decent skill set he was against Floyd Jr.

That being said. Pac Man has to be considered the #1 p4p fighter since PBF "retired". I think Pac Man is going to take out Hatton with relative ease. He's just on a whole other level right now, and he's taken out more powerful and proficient fighters than Hatton.

Puncher's chance aside. This fight should be all Pac.


Mayweather said he's ready to come out of retirement and he wants the winner of this match. Just like every other boxing fan, I've really wanted to see Pac Man-Pretty Boy for ages now.

Pacman with ease. he is by far the best pound for pound boxer in the world right now, and rightly so.

i remember manny when he was still in his early days in his pro career. he fought a friend of mine who was then the australian champion by the name of nedal 'skinny' hussein. it could have gone either way, but pacman won. from then on in, manny has improved literally with every fight, and ive always kept a close eye on him. i dont see anyone coming close. not even mayweather.

as for hatton, yeah he's an ok boxer, but in my opinion his hey day was taking on an already retired tszyu.

pacman is just too strong. pacman by TKO

I think Pac Man should win. Hatton is tough and brave, but you simply cannot follow his "fitness" regime and be at the very top of your sport.

Didnt expect it to be that conclusive.. but no surprise on the result. Hatton just kept coming forwards and kept getting picked off. You cannot gain and lose weight like he does and stay at the peak of your fitness. I think Hatton has had a great career, and he now has to think about maybe calling it a day

I wouldn't say he needs to retire just yet. He only has two losses and they're to the two best active pound for ound fighters on the planet.

did you see how quick mannys punches were?!?! wow!

all 3 punches that knocked ricky down were so quick he didnt even see them. i doubt he even remembers them now..

i dont think its a reason to retire with 2 losses.

Great find, dlish!

Pacquiao, The Philippino Powerhouse (it's lame, I know)


I think Pacquiao is my favorite boxer in this new millenium (preceded by the fictional yet some may say equally-as-talented Steve Fox, but I haven't seen him at all in the last 5 years).

No, two defeats against the person at the time rating as the best lbs for lbs boxer in the world isnt bad at all... but two heavy concussions like that isnt the best.

Not that I'm that much of a boxing fan but I do find Pacquiao fascinating. Did you know he was #22 on Time Magazine's 2009 list of 100 Most Influential People in the World? That was above Obama and Oprah and the Dalai Lama!

He owns a basketball team (performance hasn't been too shabby either) and the entire country of the Philippines of 90 million people stops to watch him box...crime rate in Manila comes to a standstill.

Dude, they removed the video just like that.

Those are some interesting facts, Shell, and I have heard that Pacquiao is like The President/The Pope/Mick Jagger/Michael Jordan all wrapped into a little Filipino package over there. He's their biggest star and they are darn proud of his success.

umm.. im watching the video right now... maybe its back on now??

Manny is a gentleman. he's not like those cocky quick witted american boxers like zab judah with a sharper wit than their punches.

he does his talkingi n the ring.

he's one of my favourite boxers going around these days.

i hear president aroyo stopped her duties to congratulate him. all the Filipinos here in the UAE adore him.

i cant wait for mayweather to get his butt kicked

Pacman is a great technical boxer with power in both hands, and the heart of a lion.

Pretty Boy Floyd is probably the most naturally gifted fighter of his generation

A mouthwatering prospect! PBF is still young enough for his skills to be at their peak.

Ali came back after a long layoff and while maybe he wasnt the fighter he was previously he still had some great championship wins.

And how about Big George? Fair enough Michael Moorer didnt have the best of chins, but he won the title something like 20 years after retiring the first time (admittedly he wasnt much of a technical boxer but he wasnt much of one to start with...)
