PACQUIAO vs HATTON: UNSTOPPABLE MEETS UNMOVABLE

For now a calm climate is set for the impending Ricky Hatton-Manny Pacquiao super fight. However, on the horizon, a dark and powerful storm full of electricity is waiting to strike. When fight night finally arrives, the age old question of what happens when an unstoppable object meets an unmovable force will be answered.

Many fights have promise of being great but few deliver. I have a feeling we will not be disappointed with this one. Both Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao always roll deep with fans making the crowd for this showdown worth the price of admission in itself. The MGM arena can unbolt the seats and throw them away for this fight because they won’t be used once the bell rings. Every super fight of the past decade has been billed -either on paper or on people's minds- as the fight that saves boxing. A few years back Oscar de la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. brought that burden into the ring with them. it was laid upon them to save boxing. Truth is boxing doesn’t need saving, it needs more fights like Hatton vs Pacquaio.

As heavily anticipated as the De La Hoya vs Mayweather was, this upcoming fight simply has a completely different feel to it. It won’t be a chess match or a match-up of skills. This fight comes down to two things, toughness and balls, and luckily for us both men will bring them into the ring. Now don’t get me wrong, both Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao have acquired great skills in their art. It’s just that their brush paints a more brutal picture than others. I might be getting a bit carried away with the fight still a little more than two months away, but how can you not be excited about this fight?

Most of us began playing the fight out in our heads as soon as the ink dried and the fight was announced. Will the naturally bigger Hatton be able to bully and work his thumping hooks to the head and body of Manny Pacquiao? Perhaps it will be Pacquiao’s speed and straight left hand that will make the difference.

On May 2nd, flesh will be bruised and battered and bodies will hit the canvas. Who’s arm will be raised in victory and which head will hang in defeat? We ask you, the fans, for your vote.
