Manny Pacquiao: How Would He Do Against Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather Jr?

Ricky Hatton: (41-0, 30 KO’s) If there was ever a bad match-up for Pacquiao, this would have to be it. Hatton, while clearly a slower puncher than the lightening fast Paquiao, is much, much tougher, in estimation. While at the same time, Hatton is constant puncher, one that likes to smother his opponents, giving them little room to work. Hatton, also, often wrestles his opponents on the inside, tiring them out with his rough-house tactics. For Pacquiao, he’d find out early on that Hatton is a bit too tough for his tastes, as he’s bullied and pushed around from the opening bell. Again, as mentioned earlier, Pacquiao would be considerable faster than Hatton.

However, the Bulldog-like Hatton, would easily walk through Pacquiao’s fast punches, as if they were feathers, getting quickly inside and pounding away on Pacquiao with vicious body shots and huge uppercuts. I don’t see this fight lasting longer than 4-rounds, with Hatton beating Pacquiao almost senseless in the process, in one of the worse slaughters since George Foreman vs. Joe Frazier.
