Manny Pacquiao Feels Ricky Hatton is "One-Dimensional"

[alza1988]

I think he boxed good in his last fight against Malignaggi . He started using his boxing skills , not going forward in straight lines like against Floyd . I think he could be getting better under Mayweather Snr . He doesn't look as if he's on the slide at all.

[alza1988]

This is an easy fight for Pacman. Hatton has problems against southpaws.

That's what they said in his last fight against Paulie . He'll never be able to out box Paulie because Paulie's a boxer and Hatton's a brawler . I think we could be in for a shock .

Hatton will be too quick and too aggressive for the little man

Too quick? lol I really hope you know what you are saying

This would be a good match up... Lets see if pacquiao can avoid hatton's body punch and let see if hatton can take pacquiao's powerful combos...

Its hard to say who will win and both have the chance to win by KO...

I guess pacquiao would win by KO or UD... Its because of his speed and power... Unfortunately if pacquiao cant avoid hatton's body shots and it will affect him greatly, then its hatton's night indeed...

I agree with what someone said earlier in that Hatton is getting more multi dimensional since joining Mayweather Sr

you cant teach a old dog new tricks.

its a sad day when a thread starts "Manny Pacquiao Feels Ricky Hatton" but whatever the Pac-Man is into, he will be feeling his wrath soon enough!!!!!!

Clichés don't cut it. As has already been pointed out, Hatton did used to be more multi-dimensional at one time (e.g. against Tackie), and then he deteriorated. In his last fight he showed more head movement, angles, and used his jab better than he had for some time. Floyd Snr. doesn't so much need to teach him new tricks as bring out the talent that is already there, and give him a good game plan. If both fighters fight to their potential, it will be a great fight - Pac should win, but if he underestimates Hatton, and assumes he'll fight as one-dimensionally as he did against Mayweather, then I think he'll be in serious trouble.

You can watch it starting here if anyone's interested. I agree that he certainly didn't look one-dimensional in that fight.

I watch it!!! I'm not convince because ben tackie doesn't have any footwork at all, doesn't have power and doesn't have the speed... Tackie barely move to the side, he just stayed within hatton's range...

i agree this fight will be great. both have chances to win. but i see pacs speed taking over. wouldnt be surprised if both go down before its over. i feel pac will frustrate hatton making hatton throw his gameplan and lose in doing so.

He is, but that don't mean he ain't good enuf at what he does not to be dangerous to you Pac.
