May 2 this recent year is for the best fighters with the same will of winning will meet in the ring. After the triumphant rally of pacman against Dela Hoya last year which was really spectacular, there he is fighting the boxing hero of England to make it another history in boxing. Although the date has been set, the venue is still an argument for the Hatton team want to bring the fight in U.K. to 90 thousands capacity stadium. Unlike at MGM arena were 19 thousand spectators can only be accommodated.
With this fight, I really believe now that boxing fanatics are curious on who will prevail with this match. I will go for pacman! I have seen hatton fighting and I knew that pacman can survive his power. GO PACMAN!

If pacquiao is as focused as he was during his last fights (Diaz, Dela Hoya) he'll have no problem winning this one. I really believe that only counterpunchers (marquez) can give Manny problems. He's just too damn fast for fighters from lightweight up to arguably welterweight to land any soilid punch at him. However if he loses his concentartion against Hatton even for just a split second, he can get hurt by Hatton big time!

Pacquiao vs. Hatton will be the superfight of 2009 and should sell out very quickly and will probably be on PPV. Pac-Man has to be the favorite in this fight after his destruction over De La Hoya. Hatton will provide a threat but I think Pacquiao will win a decision. Rumors are that if Pacquiao wins, Mayweather will come out of retirement to fight him next.

This is just a start of this spectacular match between the two of them and I am pretty sure that it is a sure hit to all boxing fanatics. With regards to pretty boy, I dont like his fighting style for it is quite boring watching him inside the ring. Unlike pacman and hatton where they both wanted their opponent down. Mayweather was know to be a pretty boy because he wanted to escape all the time. He doesnt want to be offensive. Even the hattton vs mayweather fight last time was not that very spectacular hit.

Hello tkleyr! I go for Pacman! I believe in his ability and I know he will beat Hatton just the way he beat dela hoya. I know other would think that Pacquiao wouldn't win but I have a feeling that Pacquiao will make it.
Go Philippines!

Finally! This fight will be great. The delahoya fight was predictable since delahoya was way past his peak when he fought pacquiao. (delahoya has changed alot since his prime a few years back). Hatton will be a great challenge for manny. GO MANNY!!!

I will also take Pacquiao. There have been few this era that I've been as impressed with as I have been with him. Hatton does have some solid power as you pointed out but Pacquiao has proven time and time again that he can take punishment as good as he can dish it out. He's quick on his feet, he's slick with his punches and his combinations are lethal. He's got a great boxing mind and can really read his opponents. I'm not saying it will be a landslide but I'm finding it very hard to vote against pacquiao on this one.
