So Albert what gives who wins the fight with Ricky and Manny? You seem to be milking this prediction from us, I mean come on now, it’s not hard to pick. I am going with Ricky Fatton being way too strong for Manny, how can Manny even compete with the bullying that the stronger Fatton will surely apply? Manny may have been jumping around at various weights but he has never landed at the junior welter limit, that is where Fatton has never lost. I think it will be fun while it lasts but Fatton will stop Manny right in his tracks by the 5th round.
Steven, Lansing
Steven you are so right, I have been milking it, my prediction that is. I can honestly see Hatton being stronger than Manny, but not way stronger as you think Hatton will be. If Hatton can close the space between each other and force Manny to fight with him in a telephone booth match, then Hatton might then be able to wear Manny down. Question is, will the chosen referee allow for them to rough it up in there? What are the chances of Joe Cortez getting the call for this one? Picture the look on Hatton’s face if Cortez gets the call for being the 3rd man in the ring, Priceless.
Que pasa Albert? I met you in Tucson recently, I was the clumsy one that dropped the nachos right in front of you, it was either the nachos or the beer, you know it wasn’t going to be the beer. Anyways, I told you that I would write in and check out the site, I likes, I likes, I like it alot. Great site. I recently read your article on that night in Tucson, I saw you and Oscar talking for quite a while there and the whole time I was wondering what you were talking about, so when I read your article it answered all my questions. Great night that was. Anyways, I asked you if you thought that Pacman would beat the fat off of Hatton and slap him around, you never answered my question, so what gives? I then asked you again and you turned promoter on me and said that we are going to have to wait and see but it is going to be a very good fight. I gave you my number so give me a call sometime, I love talking boxing. Ricardo, South Tucson
Ricardo, thanks for writing in, how could I forget you, after all some of your nacho cheese splattered and landed on my fresh new kicks. It was then that you told me aw man my nachos, and that was when I replied that its nacho cheese anymore [as in not your cheese] anyways, you got the joke. All jokes aside, you will soon read my prediction on here along with the rest of the diamondboxing dream team staff picks, stay tuned in to us, the prediction shall be here very soon.
Why is the world going crazy for this Hatton/Pacquiao fight? They are both one dimensional little fighters, the real fight is going to be Mayweather against Marquez.
Dean of Mean, Ventura
Dean, are you serious right now? Mayweather vs. Marquez will be a very technical fight with the bigger Mayweather closing the show late in the fight, why talk about it now when it’s not even official yet. Did Pacquiao look one dimensional against Oscar? Did Hatton look one dimensional against the speedy Malignaggi? Pacquiao has Bruce Lee speed and power and Hatton is a freak, a relentless British Bulldog, whats not to like about this fight? Besides, this fight is Official and right out of the oven and will finally be here next week, If you haven’t done so already order this fight, you will not regret it.
Albert, who do you think would have won between Hatton and Duran at 140? Pacquiao or Whitaker? Those are my dream matches. Allen, Austin, Texas
Allen thanks for the write in. Hatton is relentless but Duran was super relentless with a knockout punch, I admire Hatton’s Heart, but I feel that hands of stone Duran would have crushed Hatton in a great scrap. Pacquiao is a very fast storm coming at you at full speed but Sweet Pea was the best defensive fighter ever to lace them up. Floyd right now is considered by many to be the best defensive fighter today, but Floyd relies on the ropes for support in making you waste your shots and energy. With Sweet Pea, ropes or no ropes, the man made you miss from anywhere in the ring. A true defensive wizard. Pacquiao has the power but Sweet Pea had the fancy footwork. I would say, Sweet Pea by SD in a great fight. Now Allen, I have a question for you, Who wins between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton in my dream match?
