Two of the best boxer of today's generation, its entitle The battle of the East & West and this will happened on MGM Grand Las Vegas. Right after Pacquiao's fight against De La Hoya, Hatton has been very vocal that he wants Pacquiao to be his next opponent , so as the year 2009 starts, things have been settled. At start there's have been some problems on Pacquaio's part but later on he agreed on the agreement.

Famous Opponents:

Manny Pacquiao gain popularity because of his fight against great Mexican boxers, he fought Eric Morales 3 times and he won twice by the way of knock out. Another Mexican boxer is Marco Antonio Barrera, he defeated Barrera twice, one by a knock out and the second one is by unanimous decision. Juan Manuel Marquez is I guess one of Pacquiao's greatest opponent, I saw his last fight against him and he really had a hard time and I think Marquez did had a hard time too. The proof that they really have a tough time fighting each other is, with their two fights no one has been knocked out and it last up to 12 rounds. Pacquiao is under Bob Arum's Top Rank Promotions and Freddie Roach is his boxing coach in all his big fight. After Mayweather announce his retirement from boxing, and after Manny won against Dela Hoya last December, Pacquiao became the Best pound for pound boxer .

HATTON
30 yrs old

Famous opponent:
Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Hatton had a clean record and had never been knocked out, but when he fought Mayweather Jr. he tasted his first defeat and his first knock out. Since then he has been asking for a rematch but his hopes ended when Mayweather Jr. decided to retired from boxing. His fight against Malinaggi is an statement that his back again and his ready to fight anyone, his under Golden Boy Promotions and Floyd Mayweather Sr. is his coach in this fight.

OPINION

I didn't mean to make this a one sided review thing, but because I'm a Filipino and Pacquaio is one great Filipino fighter and I got to watched every fight that he had, I can say I have so many things to share about him. Regarding about Hatton I only got to know him when he started to talk about Pacquiao, I was able to watch his last fight against Malinaggi and I can say he has a power punch in his arsenals. What makes this fight really exciting is, both figters has the ability to knock each other with one punch, that's why just a week before the fight, promoters announces that the tickets have been sold out.

MY BET

Of course I'm placing my bet to Manny Pacquaio

FORECAST

I would say someone will kiss the mat, honestly I don't know who will it be because as I've said both is capable of knocking down their opponents.

RESULT!!

Its DONE! Pacquaio finished the fight earlier than I expected. Indeed MAnny PAcquaio is the best pound for pound boxer right now. MAbuhay ang mga PinoY!!!
