Pacquiao v. Hatton - The Trainers Will Start The Fight Early

[deliveryman]

Parkinsons vs Sarcoidosis

Interesting, I'll take Parkinsons by decision.

[archermac X]

This is gonna be a brawl all the way.

[archermac X]

Seriously, I think Sr.'s gonna get ko'ed in this fight.

[squealpiggy]

Damn, Floyd Sr. is talking mad sh8t about Hatton.
Somebody need to show that to Ricky.

I'm fairly sure he's already seen it.

[UnDeniable]

Roach KO2 over Floyd SR , after Manny interferes and nails Floyd with a straight left, Ricky is distracted at ringside drinking guiness and playing darts

[mojack]

oh please,.......... Review the Hatton-Lazcano fight. Ricky was dazed with the powerless Lazcano in 8th & 10th round.

Cannot even knockout the unexperience Urango. and lastly, cannot even finish Paulie.

Mayweather Sr said, he will dismantle Pacquiao. How ??? easy to say though.

On May 2, Pacquiao will silence the adoring fans of Hatton inside the arena, just like Hoya's fans.
Hatton will go down on the 10th.

Powerless Lazcano?

Cotto couldn't even finish Paulie with a broken jaw.


Please stop talking bollocks.

Last time I checked Sr wasn't sure with his boy Ricky and wanted another 2 tune up fights so I doubt if he'll talk **** about this fight if ever this would take place soon.

[Savino]

The Mayweathers talk alot of **** but most of the time they back it up. I am excited to see the outcome of this fight and I do believe Sr. will have the plan to beat Manny. I think Manny will struugle with Hatton and even though it was a great performence against Oscar, Ricky aint gonna be drained, he will see punches coming, he wont be a punch bag. This fight makes a really exciting contest and one i am looking forward to already in 2009.

Hatton's last fight was with Paulie who isn't a big puncher anyways. Tell me why would any fighter be worried if his opponents punches feel like love taps? ... Of course Hatton looked good, he was fighting Paulie for heaven sake.

It's easy to be wise after the event. Before that fight, most people predicted it would be close, and quite a few boxing writers predicted Paulie would win.

Hatton moved his head more against Malignaggi than he had done in his previous few fights, and also used more lateral movement, whereas in his last few fights he'd moved much more in straight lines. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't do the same when he fights Pacquiao - in fact, because he knows it's a dangerous fight for him, and also because he'll have had a lot more training from Mayweather by then, I would expect him to do both those things a lot more against Pacquiao than he did against Malignaggi.

[Dave Rado]

I recall an interview with Sr. stating that he'd rather Ricky prepare with two more fights before facing Manny.

Sr. apparently didn't see much of an improvement in Ricky against Paulie, and neither did I and many others.

The interviews with Mayweather Snr. that I read at the time said that he thought Ricky had improved substantially but that there was still a long way to go.
