you wanna beat hatton? you better be a good inside fighter. That's where you need your defense. I am sure Manny is a fast learner, but nothing we have seen in his past fights tells us anything about how good or bad he is at doing that.
Maybe Manny can move and punch Hatton enough to keep him off himself (doubt it), but that is not defense. It's ring generalhip+clean hard punching...

how is that related to my post?
Anyways...what you typed is completely unrelated to the improved defense manny showed, which is exactly my point.

Originally posted by Dragon Punch View PostNobody not even Mayweather has ever put Hatton on the backfoot. Ricky has taken big hits and kept going from far bigger punchers then Manny, so I wouldnt count on Manny's power being a major issue. That's not to say he should just ignore it (Mayweather Snr will ensure he improves Ricky defence even further then it was againt Paulie) because there is a chance of a cut etc.
Can Pac fight on the backfoot? Frm the few times he's actually had to, the answer I believe is no.
pac has the speed, reach ,straight punches and punch output to keep hatton of all night.

Originally posted by Silencers View PostIt's hard to say with his recent fights but his footwork has improved, the Hatton fight could tell us if his defense has improved, his defense wasn't that bad anyways against Marquez, Marquez was just a great counterpuncher and had great timing, he would always make Pacquiao look bad.
