Get predictions from people who really know the fight game from the inside out!

Chris Arreola - Pacquiao KO9
His speed and power will be too much for Hatton.

John Hackleman - Undecided
I like Pacquiao, but the size thing has got to catch up to him soon. I think he's definitely the better all-around fighter, but size is a lot. I lost some respect for Hatton when he fought Mayweather. I used to be crazy about him, but I don't like him as much as I used to. I didn't like him whining after the fight. He's a rough fighter that uses his elbows, head and shoulders and then Mayweather did it back to him a little bit and he whined after the fight.

Shaun George – Pacquiao TKO7
I think Manny's hand and foot speed, not to mention punching power, will be too much for Hatton.

Frank Trigg - Pacquiao TKO9

Dino Duva - Pacquiao by KO
Pacquiao by KO 6-8. Percy, I think Hatton makes a good fight for awhile, but Pacquiao ends up picking him apart

Cole Miller - Pacquiao
Manny, Manny Manny! 12 rounds of Beatdown by speed, smarts and superior boxing

Cliff Couser - Pacquiao KO5

Kimbo Slice - Pacquiao

Icy Mike (Manager, Kimbo Slice) - Pacquiao

Guy Mezger – Pacquiao
Pacquiao all the way!

Din Thomas – Pacquiao
I'm going with Pacquiao. His speed, movement and power will make up for any size differential there will be.

Marshall Kaufmann - Hatton by Decision

Joe Stevenson - Hatton by KO
I'm going with Hatton all the way. He's my favorite fighter. Pacquiao is going down tonight. Hatton is going to kill his body.

Ron Frazier - Pacquiao KO10

Miss RaRa - Pacquiao KO8

Adam Richards - Hatton KO6
He is too strong.

Damon D (BET US Sports Radio) - Hatton KO8
I pick Hatton by doing everything De La Hoya was supposed to do. I see a vintage New York style, back alley mugging. Regardless, I'm hoping for an epic throwdown

Juanito Ibarra - Undecided
It's a toss up. I'm excited about this one. I've always been a Hatton fan. From the first time I seen the kid fight, he reminded me of Roberto Duran. They both have the dedication and desire to win this fight and it's hard to make a pick. To me, it's about professionalism and timing. What are they learning in their camps?

Bobby Razak (Director, Underdogs) - Hatton
Hatton by late round stoppage or points. I think Ricky is stronger. I think when Pacquiao fought De La Hoya, Oscar was shot physically as a fighter. I think Hatton is strong, aggressive and his chin is good.

Lou Ramos (Chairman, Get Em' Boy) - Pacquiao KO10
