Makes all the Hatton huggers look like fools, Pacman seems to be more dominant after every single fight, he just doesn't stop improving.. I said hes speed would be to much for Hatton but he also showed he still has that power even all the way up at 140 with that amazing 1 punch KO..

Roach knows hes stuff he predicted this would happen just like he predicted the De La Hoya fight.. I wonder who people think is the better trainer now?

He beat De La Hoya and Hatton in a much more dominating fashion then Mayweather so this fight has got to happen or it kind of ruins Mayweathers legacy.. What a fight it would be and anyone who says Pacman doesn't have a chance against Mayweather now is just stupid..

Pacmans an ATG.

pacman ko'ed hatton just as I expected.
Hatton just can't take a punch.
He needs to grow a chin.
Khan vs Hatton billed as (battle of the glass chins)

Hatton is the most overrated and over hyped fighters of the last 20 years. He has such little ability it isn't funny.

I'm so happy that he got KO'D. Hopefully this is the last we will see of him.

Excuse my opening post, I was a little excited. I gambled all my K-Rudd stimulus money on a Pacman victory.
Pacquaio is just such a remarkable dynamic fighter, he made Hatton look so foolish in there.

Hatton received unwarranted fame and publicity, he really never deserved.
Now he got really exposed.

Pacman beat the bricks over Hatton's ass! Pac's a little piece of dynamite who hit Hatton very hard with both hands, his head movement was excellent, quick feet. Mayweather Snr is now eating humble pie. Hope I don't see the Predator's mug on TV again. Made a real fool out of himself.

Yeah, i think he was just hyping the fight.. Hatton did not listen to the game plan in the first place so it still makes Mayweather look bad but he can still say it was hes fighters fault for not doing what he was told to do.

That was one of the most perfect left hand hooks ive seen in my life.
Hatton is a tough guy just ask Kosta.
Hatton ran straight into Kosta right hand and it didnt bother him.
Pacmans timing must be perfect.
I would love to see him and Maywether get it on.:boxing:

Mayweather by UD.
Im glad I didnt get the PPV, undercard couldve been more competitive and 10mins of pure Pacquiao greatness.
Pac is #1 right now.
Lets hope Mayweather wont dodge this one.

Yeah, I was surprised so many were picking Hatton to win.

Whilst I was surprised how quickly it ended I wasn't shocked as to how it happened.

The fight always broke down like this:

1) To have any success at all Hatton really, really needed to get inside and get to the body. He needed to grapple, wrestle, etc. to use his strength and size advantage over the far more skillful and powerful guy.

2) Hatton is limited in terms of boxing skills. Therefore, how the fuk does he manage to get inside - with barely any skills - against a guy with great speed, explosiveness and power in both hands?

3) The answer to the above question is pretty much you gotta just have ridiculous punch resistance. As in, Margarito v Cotto punch resistance. Floyd stopped Hatton. Therefore, you know Ricky's punch resistance is not that great. Therefore, he was always in for a rough one.


The thing I don't understand about the fight is what the fuk Hatton was thinking going in. He must surely have known he could not just wander in hands down on Pacquiao, yet that is exactly what he did.

I actually feel a bit sorry for Floyd Snr, as much of a wanker as he is, I think he genuinely set Hatton up with a plan that Hatton totally ignored.

I agree. He was no doubt trying to do the best for Hatton, but lets face it Hatton was a terrible fighter really, sure he mugged KT, but he has no skill what so ever to be able to compete against guys like Mayweather and Manny.

So it was too late in the day to Change Hatton into a boxer. He didn't really box that much against Paulie.

You can't say he was a terrible fighter, you just can't.

Technically limited? Sure, very much so. But he has just too many wins over fairly high level opposition to be a terrible fighter. It took a good fighter to beat the version of Tszyu he fought, even if he was on his last legs. Guys like Collazo, Urango, even Paulie - these guys don't lose to terrible fighters. He is a B-class guy that benefited from a **** division, but not a terrible fighter.

You are right though, Sr cannot be blamed. I said it all along, you cannot come along and teach a 30 year old that has been fighting his whole life without any technical expertise to be a slick boxer, you just can't. That **** is drilled into you from very early in your development. Small techical changes, sure. But completely changing the way a guy fights? No way.

I know one thing, I wont bet on him again. lol

Got 10-1 and 2-1 but he was no chance from the time the bell rang for the first round. Completely owned by Manny.
Zero defence. Oh and for those of you saying it wasn't Mayweather Snr's fault. Poppy****. He has to take some responsibility for the way Ricky fought and was prepared. I watched the 24/7 series and this guy thought the whole fight was about him not the fighters. Now I've seen some people in the fight game who are up themselves but this guy takes the cake. He almost makes his son look humble.

i remember that Italian guy whom he fought before his match with Manny. Its so funny coz he boxed a lot with only one arm. And when his team stopped the fight he argued to them. its like tellling them, 'I could do few more rounds.' Its like he jsut passed by and were asked to step up on the ring to fight someone who's not in his level. And upon seeing Hatton (the 1st time I knew him) fought that night with this one arm guy, it didnt impress much. I knew all the while he's going to hard time with Manny (or even with Marquez I think). Sorry but thats just my opinion.

I think he takes responsibility, but not for Hatton losing.

His fault is in deluding a fighter like Hatton into thinking he could radically change his approach to boxing. Like I said in a previous post, you cannot take a guy who has brawled for most of his 30 years on this planet and try to turn him into a slick technician, then send him into the ring against the p4p king who also happens to be an offensive maniac. You just can't do it.

Floyd Snr would have known this. I have no doubt. Say what you like about the man but he knows boxing. I mean, look what happened when he tried to teach Oscar the shoulder roll. Oscar has more skill in one foot than Hatton could ever wish to have in his entire body and he looked like a fukn retard trying to implement one simple defensive maneuvre. Yet we are expected to believe that Snr thought he could completely change Hatton's approach to boxing? Come on now.

So yeah, Floyd Snr takes some responsibility, but not for Hatton's performance. God could have manifest himself as a boxing trainer and Hatton wouldn't have had the tools to beat Manny.

LOL. No doubt he is definately horrible to watch. I really enjoyed watching Floyd stop him. I can't remember a fight I was more hyped for than that one. I just wanted to prick to get crushed. The other day was good, but more expected. I wasn't expecting Floyd to stop Hatton so it was like an added bonus. The mum crying and girlfriend throwing up just kind of topped it all off.

Hattons a british bulldog. He doesnt have the temper to box, he is too over aggressive. Mannys very relaxed.

Hatton is a street fighter who's more suited to beating up on Manchester United supporters when they visit Maine Road. Give him props on beating up Tszyu pretty bad where Tszyu was surprised how Hatton came at him. But was exposed badly against Floyd and Manny who are at the very elite level.

Mayweather's dissing of Roach was in pretty bad taste considering Freddie's battle with Parkinson's. Roach is the best trainer in the Boxing business with how he's taken James Toney and Manny to the top. Why would anyone want to diss Freddie anyway? He also comes across as a very modest man.

Thing is you watch someone like Pacman you see him improve after every fight, then watch Hatton he's just the same after every fight you never see any real improvement or change in game plan..

Watching the 24/7 with Roach and Pacman was amazing, Iv never seen a fighter more well prepared for a fight.. Roach did a great job.

When Roach was training Oscar vs Floyd, Oscar was winning with the jabs. Roach was right on about that. Then Oscar abandoned the jab. ****ing lost the fight coz of that. I know he's old and couldn't keep up the big punches, but dammit....stick the jab. Even if to throw Floyd off his rythm.

Roach is a great trainer. You just have to listen and execute his plan perfect against elite fighters.

Or maybe the only reason the jab was landing was because he threw so little of them.. so Floyd wasn't expecting them.. i'm sure Floyd would of adjusted like he always does and it would of ended the same.
