Freddie Roach: "Ricky Hatton Can Pull The Trigger"

[sylvestersweet]

As much as I like Roach, he's not a God.
He refused to train Hopkins for his Pavlik fight because he thought he was going to lose.

Hatton will be competitive with anyone you throw him in with, but he'll always lose to the real P4P top dogs, because what makes them P4P top dogs is that they can overcome a world-class fighter with a heart bursting out of his chest simply because: they're better.

Pacman wins, TKO late-on.

He didnt refused to train Hopkins, he only trained Hopkins while Richardson recuperated. Roach is top 3 best Trainer in boxing today!!!!!!!!!

proof of the pudding for me will be what he does with Amir 'No-chin' Khan.

If he makes a success out of him, he's a legend.

this isn't the same hatton that fought mayweather. the pre-mayweather hatton wouldn't have done to Malignaggi what he did to him in the last fight. Hatton even had a hard time against Lazcano. Mayweather Senior has changed Hatton quite a bit and Pacquiao is gonna have a handful in May.

Hatton might be diffirent against Malignagi but not against Pac.

Hatton would be best-served mauling and rucking with Pac ala the Kostya Tszyu fight.. I doubt they let him get away with that in the US, however. Also Tszyu was happy to get involved in the rough stuff, that's not pacman's style.

Hatton has to take away the left-hand by not allowing him any leverage. Ouch! I don't envy that task.

the PACMAN will win ^_^, thats the only thing i have to say coz he's better in every department ^_^

As I had already posted on another Fatton thread, I agree with you. This whole dip n dodge Floyd Sr style of fighting just ain't Ricky.

Simply put, Fatton ain't no finesse fighter, he's a talented hard-hitting and strong fighter, he needs to use his strengths not his weaknesses against PAC.

How does one beat a small, quick fighter. Wear him out, ruff him up, wrassle him

[Chunk..]

The Hatton - Pacquiao 24/7 series should be good! In fact, it should be bloody brilliant!

You'll have Hatton and Pacquiao being really polite and humble about each other but then you'll have Roach and Mayweather Sr at the other end of the spectrum, ripping each other to bits and talking **** about one another LOL.

Should be fun?

Thats a slap in the face of dlh, however true... Hatton will pull the trigger, but i still see manny getting him with a left hook... Hatton to me just has a suspect jaw... I can see this fight being a fight of the year nominee... 24/7 will be a good one!
