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

[squealpiggy]

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

Manny is the smaller man. It's much harder for the smaller shorter fighter to be able to back-pedal while firing the jab. Manny would attempt to negate Ricky's forward motion by sidestepping but then Hatton also has great lateral movement so it would come down to Manny attempting to stay off the ropes and Hatton attempting to get him there.

Unless you're suggesting that the wisest strategy for Ricky would be to stand still in the middle of the ring, De La Hoya style.

And the lead lefts will probably not have much individual effect. Manny does not hit as hard as Kostya Tszyu.

The version of Kostya Tszyu that Hatton fought is even more washed-up than the dela Hoya Pacman faced.

For Hatton to win he needs to fight like he did against Malinaggi (No thats not a comparison between Malinaggi and Pacman nuthuggers, it's a comment on what Hatton did in the fight not who he was fighting)

Good head movement, cut distance down quickly and don't get caught before he cuts the range down.

He needs to make Pacman fight at Hatton pace but going backwards and make pacman become the defencive fighter, when in close he needs to make pacman want to clinch and unload on powershot to the Body like he did against Castillio, only clinch when he needs the fight broken up and keep the inside work going while pacman is on the ropes.

Most of all patience.

If Mayweather Snr can teach Hatton how to deal with Southpaws he can win this fight, if not he might have to steal enough rounds to make it close enough down the stretch that pacman abandons his gameplan.

My overall view of teh fight is that both fighters will have periods of sucsess and it will be close, but pacmans class and stamina will win a close but deserved UD.

If Pacman's knees dip from a Hatton shot early, all bets are off and pacman could be in for a very long night against a guy too big for him to handle.

This fight is more balanced than people think. There are ways to beat pacquiao and marquez has shown the way to a degree. Now Pacman isnt as left handed as he was before, he now has added the right hook and established a better jab however I would like to make a few points.

-Manny tends be low on ideas when faced with some who circles away from his left lead, he spends the rest of his energy on trying to line up that punch or bringing the opponent back into Line with the wide right hook. Hatton cannot fight in straight lines, he needs to circle away from the left, once he does this, I dont think pacman will be able to get his combinations off as much.

-The Jab, it has to be thrown constantly, as a weapon, as a measuring stick, fient it too then perhaps hook to the body and clinch.

-Clinch clinch clinch, I dont think pac can stay inside for long periods with hatton, so hatton needs to smother him. Circle away from left, punch, clinch, inside work, same again, maybe this might help break up pac's rhythm.

yeah but Malignaggi still landed a lot of left hooks, shame he didnt have power to break an egg on those. Plus he was afraid to throw straight rights, while the opening was there. Then again i dont know why he tried uppercuts from distance...all of them missed, and he was countered by a brutal punch in the second round while trying that ****. Basically Malignaggi did it all wrong, and didnt have the power to make Hatton respect him. That will be all different story against Manny.

You sir, are clearly a biased Idiot.

In no world or dimension would anyone with any knowledge of boxing or balanced judgement call Tzsyu shot.

The fight was even when he quit, due to damage not lack of gas.

let me put it into perspective for you.

Tzsyu 6 months before KO4 the No1 ranked challenger, was ranked 3 P4P and fought 10 action packed hard rounds.

ODLH threw less power shots in 9 rounds than he did against mayweather for every single round for 12 rounds, hadn't been P4P ranked for 5 years and had lost 3 out of his previous 6 all at 154 and higher.

Try and be objective, nuthugger.

yeah, but Hatton is the opposite of JMM. Thats why it will be a long night for him, and thats why if floyd goes against Pacman, he would win in my opinion.

[baya]

hatton has a slim chance in this one.

pac is too fast, and maybe equally as strong as hatton at punching - but not physically as strong.

hatton's only chance at winning is to make it a bore/clinch fest ala tzuyu.

[hammerhiem]

That will be all different story against Manny.

Manny is 20x times the fighter Malinaggi is but I wasn't talking about Malinaggi's ability I was talking about Hatton's game plan.

Hatton isnt known for great tactics, but you know what, i reckon he could circle to the left, trust me, if he can do that, its gonna be a serious fight, if he come at pac in lines, he will get punished.

But with manny, once you move away from the left, I think his brain goes into overtime, he overthinks, then fighters can get shots off at him imo.
