Hatton Downplays Pacquiao's Win Over De La Hoya

[J.B.moneY.]

Ricky has actually been sparring in Vegas with Erislandy Lara, who is a quick, strong, light middleweight, with a solid left hand. I've only seen brief glimpses of him, but he looks like a decent, skillful fighter and makes a good sparring partner for Ricky.

Some pics:







Ricky's looking in great shape..

damn thats bad ass....have u heard any reports?....like ricky is doing well?

No, unfortunately no reports as to how Ricky performed just yet, but I think Sky Sports will be doing some kind of report on it. All I know is that he gave Ricky a pretty good fight in there..

Here's some vids of Lara in action:





He's apparantly fighting on the undercard of the Hatton/Pac fight, but not sure who he's fighting..

a pretty decent prospect, too stationary though, speed doesnt compare, maybe better sparring partners for hatton in the future.

Yea, but he's fairly quick for his size - light middleweight - and has quick hands. Got a similar in/out style to Pac, so a pretty decent sparring partner choice I would say. Plus he's got some good power there too..

I really dont think Hatton and PAC are getting a respectable enough sparring partners both will be surprised come fight night Pacs level above this guy in the speed department and Hatton's way stronger than Antillon. If i were Hatton id get judah if i were PAC id get Margarito or Cotto which is highly unprobable ofcourse

Margo might be interested, got nothing better to do, but Cotto could be pricey!

Yep but if PAC can withstand a Cotto body punch id be more confident..............and he can probably take anybody punch from any boxer not named Chavez,Mccallum......

True dat. Lazcano did hurt Hatton but remember Lazcano was fighting at 140 and Manny is moving up to 140 & who knows if Manny even hits harder than Lazcano? Manny couldn't even knock out Juan Manuel Marquez and he knocked him down a total of 4 times in two fights and both were still close debatable and competitive? To me that is not power, power is when you hit a guy twice flush with power shots & KO his ass. Inorder for Manny to KO Hatton, he will have to exchange punches with a puncher like Hatton & I don't see Manny being able to dominate him in that department.

Manny was beating up on Oscar for 8 Rd's and didn't KO or Knock him down? I think Manny is a GREAT fighter but I have seen him hurt/wobbled and dazed on his feet so even though he is fast he still can be touched & Hatton will touch him good. I have NOTHING against Manny Pacquiao as a person or fighter. I'm just using my observation of both their styles & I just give the edge to HATTON. With that said I think Manny has a chance but not too sure he will beat Hatton and that's not from a bias perspective.

manny cannot even ko jmm,who has smart guy?arrogance is underrated!
