Hitman vs Pacman

Published by Matt Greene on April 30, 2009

Manny Pacquiao, widely accepted as the best boxer in the world,Â is a matured fighter with amazing skills and an incredibly tactical mind.

Ricky Hatton is the classic underdog, his aggression, single-mindedness and stereotypical mancunian attitude make him a challenge for even the best fighters.

The fight between the two giants is a tough match. It is reminiscent of Hattons stand againt Mayweather. Pacquiao is a quick opponent, light footed and agile. His powerful left straights and right hooks are the stuff of legend. Hatton is at his best in close quarters and throws heavy body blows and left hooks.

RICKY HATTON v MANNY PACQUIAO ODDS AND BETTING

If, as with Mayweather, Hatton gets drawn into a match at distance, he will lose. It is a pace he cannot match as his temper will almost definitely be his downfall. SkyBet give a Pacquiao win odds of 1/2.

However, if Hatton manages to keep in close, preventing those nimble feet of Paquiao’s coming into play, then Hatton might just defeat the odds. SkyBet give a Hatton win odds of 6/4.
