Our knowledge of The Sweet Science is comparable to our comprehension of high velocity particle collision and basic algebra -- that is to say, it is limited. However, we're certain that the announcement on last night's episode of GameTrailers TV that the Fight Night Round 4 demo (set to launch sometime mid-May) will recreate the blockbuster May 2 match between Ricky Hatton and Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao is good news indeed.
Why are we so sure? Well, based off of what we've gleaned from the five minutes of Googling we've just performed, the Hatton vs. Pacquiano fight is promised to contain no small amount of punching. We're pretty sure that'll translate really well into a punching-centric gaming experience.
[Thanks, Tim!]

Hope Hatton can hold up, like he didn't against Mayweather.

Yeah here's hoping the ref actually allows Hatton to fight on the inside, unlike in the Mayweather fight where he was stopped from doing so every time he moved in.
Hatton Vs Mayweather rematch looks on for Hatton's last fight, and I hope the ref allows him to fight, because it will be a damn sight closer.

My fantasy fight.
Mayweather vs Calzache
(forgive spelling, i can't be bothered to research right now)
Yes, i am aware of the weight difference, but a guy can still hope.

Mayweather Jr. vs. Calzaghe? they wouldnt even have to fight at all and make it one of the most controversial matches of our time, but explaining the amount of comedy as for as why would cause me to get downvoted to the next solar system. all i will say is both fighters amount of posturing would be enough to fill up the equivalent of a Seasons worth of All my Children.
also.
Mayweather Jr. vs. Calzaghe??!
you trying to cause the Haldron Collider to go full power or something???

Sorry, but I can't help but respond to some boxing opinions I think are total trash. Floyd whooped on Hatton with no problem at all. If you wanted Hatton to get in on Floyd more, you were asking for the ref to look the other way so Hatton could hold and push guys around like he's used to doing in the U.K. Hatton showed very little. He got destroyed.

It's the guy that retired de La Hoya!

Pac likes fighting forward - and all Hatton knows is pressuring an opponent and pushing them back. Honestly I could see this one go either way. It will be a good one. I hear Cotto and Mayweather may be interested in the winner.

originally it WAS supposed to be mayweather and pacquiao. but mayweather pulled out cuz the money wasnt enough or something.

In my opinion, Manny is the best pound for pound fighter of this generation, period.
De La Hoya looked like a joke when fought PacMan, that fight proved that he was done and over a long time ago.
Looking forward to this fight for sure.
Oh yea, looking forward to the game also, haha

Why does it say Mid-May when the fight is May 2 and the demo is supposed to come out the same day or week?
Posted: Apr 18th 2009 6:51PM (Unverified) said
God's will be done on who will when but the most important thing I feel is It's going to be a great fight with Manny Pacquiao my compatriot and Ricky Hatton. The most humble talented fighter will be more blessed on that fight. I can't wait Griffin for May:) Gbu. Happy Easter.

I gotta agree with this. Hatton is so overrated and I expect Pac-Man to win rather easily.
