Mayweather not good for Hatton in Hatton-Pacquiao?

[Left Hook Tua]

Am I the only one that thinks having Mayweather in his corner will not be a good thing for Hatton coming into the Pacquiao fight?

I think the old Ricky who bullies and mugs his opponents and grabs and clinches his opponents to the ropes will be best to take on Manny's style and speed.

I think the overrated trainer will try to turn Ricky into boxing more and it could hurt him in the upcoming (hopefully) Pacquiao-Hatton match.

He might try to box more at first instead of being the Ricky we all know. He might give a few precious rounds away that way and might take more straight lefts than he would with his old style in the beginning.

i think Pacquiao stops Hatton around the 9th. Ricky tries to use what Floyd teaches him at the wrong time against the wrong opponent and by the time he realizes his mistake and turns back into the old ricky , manny had already done too much damage.

Thoughts?

All Floyd sr seems to be doing is getting Hatton back to how he used to fight - leaving himself a bit more room to get his shots off properly instead of crowding his own work and using a little bit of extra head movement and a few more faints before coming in.

Hatton's pretty quick too so I don't think there's gonna be this massive speed differential, and Ricky's easily quick enough on his feet to be able to close Pac down. I can see Ricky busting up Pac's body and stopping him around the 8th. We've all seen how Pac can crumble from a good body shot.

i disagree. i think floyd will be trying to change hatton's style.

floyd is an overrated trainer. he tries to get people to fight how he , roger and jr. does.

it doesn't work for everybody.

it's not 1999 and pac is not a flyweight anymore.

He may be, but I liked what I saw in Hatton's last fight - a lot more how he used to fight in his early days, which is what made me a fan.

He hasn't faced a body puncher like Hatton though, has he?

those mexicans he's been fighting know a thing or two about working the body as well , cletus.

the fact that they couldn't work it , says a lot.

They didn't really need to work it as Pac's always been pretty easy to hit in the head, unless your DLH's corpse.

not the same pacquiao , cletus......

delahoya has himself to blame. roach was right. you make weight the day of the weigh in. you don't make weight months ahead of time and stay there.

i think hatton would need that style and training to fight pac...
