This is an answer top the quote "take Manny's speed and he is nothing"
Hatton is nothing without hugging... That's why he lost to Mayweather when Joe Cortez took that only skill from him.. LOL...
If he believe in his abilities he should not complain... Why? because he and his fans knows that without hugging, he is nothing... Come may 2 and he will probe himself right again when Manny take that hugging away from him...
Speed is part of your physical attribute so it cannot be taken away...
Hugging is part of dirty tactics...
Already they are bumping threads that are about 6 years old or so....
Best quote i heard this morning Hatton's opponents are the ones guilty of holding LMAO :lol1:
What I love is - Paulie holds against Hatton and suddenly all of Hatton's past opponents at championship level were initiating the holding, hahaha. One Hatton diehard says it on here and, before you know, it's spread like wildfire, they're all regurgitating the revisionist bullshit. You see, it's Hatton's opponents drawing him into a hugfest, not the other way around. :nono:
Hatton fans are nonsensical buffoons.
come on, you cant become a dominating world champion like ricky without having skill
if all he had was his hugging then why wouldnt everybody just hug, and become world champs, if its so easy to just hug and win fights?
Hatton won't be hugging Pac. Floyd Sr has already said several times although Ricky has to keep some of his old traits that will not be one of them.
Don't expect Hatton to come out of the box like a rocket like he did against PBF. He'll play the long game, and fight using his head as well as his heart
hatton is an inside fighter. pac is more in and out using speed and footwork.
i dont think hatton have a footwork on outside. hatton uses footwork on
engaging clinch then shot to the body. pac is more lethal on countering
now a days best on offensive foe for example ODLH and david diaz. pac likes
foe who is coming forward to him unlike JMM always back pedaling and
countering. pac will make some adjustments on hattons clinching.
if hatton cant make a clinch against pac it will be a murder for him all night.
I like Hatton but he will be demolished by pacquiao. Manny is just better in any aspect against Ricky, bad style matchup for him. I give him edge against JMM though i think Ricky is the only one that can stop JMM.
That said pacman by decapitation.
all these pac vs hatton fans on the forums are idiots that repeat their opinions in different threads based around the same fight.
as far as being a pac fan. hatton is a beast and noone will/should deny that. pacman is a future hof and an atg. hatton fans should recognize that as well.
hatton is not fighting for P4P#1. he has to beat him>and jmm in my thoughts to gain that p4p#1. for redemption he should fight mayweather for his last fight if he gets past those two. and mayweather to regain his p4p#1.
I'm firm but fair.In this fight I'm going with Hatton.He should be allowed to clinch but not hold.If he fights his fight he will definitely win.
Remember in my other post I didnt say Mayweather was right because he used elbows and holding himself.
ye mayweather fought hatton at his own game,which surprised everyone,but of course hatton is the only one who fights dirty lol thats wot a lot of people seem to think.i think in this its whichever guy imposes his will first,and executes his gameplan the best
Gettin someone is punching someone not holding someone.Remember this was a boxing match not wrestling.Everytime Ricky held Floyd Joe would get in.
If you wanna know what getting someone is,it was that time when Mayweather knocked Hatton out senseless,Joe had to come in being the professional that he is.Even Hatton's corner threw in the towel.Ricky never got Floyd in that situation
To be fair Hatton was there for the taking.He was lunching in with his head,was off balance all the time.The more I watch the fight the more I doubt Mayweather because he shouldnt have worked overtime that night.
lol and i thought u were just a reasonable fan,how wrong i was
you're living in fantasy land, if Cortez had gotten the fcuk out of the way Mayweather was sparked inside 4 but any time Ricky got him cornered and taking a whupping fat boy would jump in
joe cortez is the best refree in boxing! hands down. he is fair but firm.
Floyd is the master of boxing.He wanted to prove he could beat Hatton at his on game.Actually Hatton was lucky because if he had decided to hold,Floyd would have flattened him within 3 rounds.Floyd had trained well for that type of fight.I saw him training for that and he looked impressive.

There ought to be a balance,the rule is no excessive holding.Boxing is a contact sport and people will hold no doubt.Actually clinching is a skill.There are some fights of course Hatton has overdone it.Hatton has also done a lot of rabbit punches in the past and got away with it.He often describes it as 'I gave him a little bit of that' as if it is not an offence.
If Hatton uses his clinch well he will knock out Pacquio no doubt and that's no cheating.By the later rounds Manny wont be able to take it and his own shots will be getting weaker than the rounds.I think the ref needs to be fair to Hatton.Billy Graham was right in voicing his concerns to Cortez before the Mayweather fight.
In a way this is all mind games.People are trying to influence the ref so he takes away Hatton's game plan.
he has over-done it in the past i agree.mayweather snr will not want to see hatton clinching imo,but i think if he encorporates it into his gameplan well then it could benefit him,especially in setting up body shots.bayless is the ref and i think thats a good choice,i have never liked cortez
i'm going to laugh if ricky outboxes pac....sure its highly unlikely...but who knows this is boxing after all.....
look ilike manny and am a fan of his....
but the pac ball sucking is on warp speed in here.
the hatton d1ck riding is on light speed in here.

Clinching is legal and Hatton knows how to do it well.It ties your opponent and he cant hit,you hit him.The best thing about it is the fatigue you give to your opponent.There needs to be a balance,no excessive holding.Let's face it Benard Hopkins uses it a lot and it spoils his opponents' moves.
ye but its ok when hopkins is doing it.thats all he did against calzaghe and cortez didnt care,and people say british refs are biased? lol
floyd didn't hold, floyd used his elbows and forearms to get space so he could punch. hatton does all the holding
full of sh1t son, Floyd hit and held all night as well as throwing elbows, ducking down and turning his back. He was the dirty fighter of the two and he got clean away with it.
