Hatton is one tough dude !! And could and is certainly very capable of winning this war !!

Oscar , like BA says, was on the downslide of his craft.......but still have to give Manny lots of accolade for his victory !!

Met Oscar maybe 8 , 9 yrs ago, here in Albuquerqe, when he was attending a local match here. My daughter was friends with the fight card promoter, and so we had dressing room passes. Oscar is a friend of Johnny Tapia, who was headlining the card..........spent about 10 minutes chatting and visiting with Oscar. Really a nice guy, articulate, cordial, friendly.........a real gentleman ! Like Gary says........a great fighter in his day, which is now fleeting........

I do not count Ricky out of this fight and won't be a bit surprised if he wins !! He just could prove to big in size for Manny! :?:

If Manny does in fact win, I won't be surprised at all of seeing Floyd Mayweather Jr., come out of retirement to fight Manny !! THAT WOULD BE A SUPER PAYDAY FOR BOTH FIGHTERS !!........

2 great fighters, HBO, May 2nd.
