Ricky Hatton can Win the fight against Manny Pacquiao! Here's the Strategy!

[djsygo]

Do's and Don'ts for Hatton

1. Take four to give one - Hatton can't avoid Pacquiao's punches all the time. Manny is one of the fastest hands, if not the fastest, in boxing. For every 1 punch that Hatton would give, he should not be afraid to receive 4 power punches back.

2. Don't underestimate Pacquiao power punches - Remember that out of 53 fights of Pacquiao, 36 has ended in KO. That's 7 out of 10 knockout power.

3. Don't spend all your power punch energy in the first few rounds - Pacquiao hasn't been knocked out by good to great fighters for almost a decade, so don't expect him to go down in the first few rounds.

4. Don't wait for Pacquiao to get tired - Pacquiao has a reputation of having freakish stamina reservoir. The man is a throwback to an era where rounds are more than a dozen.

5. Don't expect Pacquiao's speed to diminish due to weight - Remember that since 2004, Pacquiao is used to entering the ring as essentially a welterweight (146 lbs. during his 1st Marquez fight).

6. Don't overrelly on hugging - Pacquiao hands are blistering fast during inside exchanges. Manny also prove over and over again, that he has the quick reflex to move his head away from uppercuts after an inside exchange.

7. Don't box technically with Pacquiao - Only technical masters can pull it off (e.g. Marquez). Speed, timing and accuracy are the bread and butter of Pacquiao. His rhythmn don't have a regular pattern, making it hard to predict and time.

8. Don't rely solely on blocking the punches with gloves - Pacquiao has long added to his offensive arsenal fake jabs, up and down feints, with 3 or 4 punch fast combos from different angles. Manny smart fast footwork also ensure of him having high percentage of accurate punches landing when faced with gloves blockage alone.

9. Don't follow Pacquiao in the ring without punching - Pacquiao moves in and out, side to side, throwing trajectory angle power punches while moving at an unpredictable direction at an uncanny speed.

10. Don't block Pacquiao's way without head movement - Fighters who stood directly in front like a statue with the intent of cutting off Pacquiao's movement has received the worst beating (e.g. Diaz).

sorry but by what you say here i would say Hatton has no chance of winning. Especially if he has to get 4 punches to give one, he will end up cut, bruised, swollen, and possibly being KOed by round 7. What Hatton needs to do is tighten up his defense, get on the inside, bully Manny and go to the body like there is no tomorrow.

What Hatton needs to do is tighten up his defense, get on the inside, bully Manny and go to the body like there is no tomorrow.

And he isn't going to be able to do that because Manny isn't going to stay still one second. Can't hit someones body if they're not there to be hit.

[hammerhiem]

hatton will do what he always does hug his way through the fight

Have you even watched him fight?

Go and watch ten of his fights, any ten i don't care and if you can find five where he holds alot you'll be lucky.

And he isn't going to be able to do that because Manny isn't going to stay still one second. Can't hit someones body if they're not there to be hit.

yeah, thats how i think the fight will go as well. To beat Manny you need to be a boxer (counter)puncher and let him have the initiative, need to know how to evade his right jab and be very fast on your feet to put you combos in while hes on the attack so he cannot change his position. Hatton is going to look similar to Oscar, prolly look better than him because he has fast feet and hes going to have his moments, but Manny is not going to be there for Ricky's "jump in-hold a bit-then hit you from the hold position" strategy that hes known for.

[djsygo]

again...basically al ricky does, manny is able to do as well, but...not all manny does, hatton can do. Manny is the more complete package and can use that in this fight. Hatton instead is going to look very frustrated because he wont have a plan B

easy win for hatton

This isn't a strategy, this is a carefully chosen list of all the strategies Hatton will be able to employ with the word "Don't" in front of each of them. If this list were true then Manny would be unbeatable. He isn't.

Keys for Hatton:

Beat Manny to the punch. Pac is faster than Hatton but not that much faster, Ricky should be aiming to get off first frequently and surprise Manny with the speed he has.

Turn it into a brawl. Pac can box or he can brawl but in a brawl Hatton's strength and size give him the advantage while a tactical boxing match favours Pacquiao. Furthermore brawling means more body punching.

Most importantly don't make the mistake of presenting a stationary target in the same way that Diaz and De La Hoya did. Keep moving forward, cutting off the ring, forcing Manny to back-pedal. Manny works best when he is able to move in and out. If he's constantly being pushed back he isn't going to be effective.

true, this is the only logical gameplan for a fighter like Ricky. Very difficult to execute against a fast moving southpaw with power like Manny tho, if your defense is not top notch. But Hatton is what he is and can only hope to be successful while executing a gameplan like this.

Hatton will eat a million right jab if he keeps coming forward... I can't imagine those flash left straight do to Hatton...
