Manny Pacquiao Feels Ricky Hatton is "One-Dimensional"

[Dave Rado]

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...

Yeah, I agree Tackie's not in anything like Pac's class, the point was simply that Hatton hasn't always been a come-forward one-dimensional fighter, like he was against Mayweather Jnr., he was a lot more multi-dimensional at one time; and that a lot depends on how much he learns from working with Mayweather Snr.

this isn't the time to be a high profile 1D fighter.........ask Pavlik and Margarito ......Pac by brutal KO

maybe you guys didnt read the article... pac says hatton only fights one way, that is coming forward which is right up his alley.

pac used to be 1-dimensional too, but now he relies on his footwork turn his opponent instead of getting into range... imho pac has turned into more of a potshotter than a buzzsaw now, although he can revert to buzzsaw mode at any time.

Ha..ha..ha...u don't know pacman at all, try to watch his fights from the very start of his career before Ledwaba & judge it for urself...pacman used his right hand more, ever since, w/ his excellent footwork & a warrior in the ring...the only difference of pacman today, he has become a more intellligent fighter under roach...imagine the fighters he beaten up, barerra(2x), morales(3x), marquez(2x), oscar, ledwaba, they're all complete fighters...try to research first compare it with others...

hatton isnt as one dimensional as some think

he can do things like move in on angles, bob his head, mix up his punches etc when he chooses too, but often he falls in love with his physical strength and tends to try and hold too much and maul his opponents around
hes starting to rediscover his skills again, but pacman will beat him with a late stoppage (possibly on cuts, hatton cuts easy) or a solid UD

the fight will be competitive for a while, pac wont be able to dance too much in this fight, he is going to have wait for hatton, catch him coming in with his handspeed and power and then back him up, or if hatton gets past mannys shots (will happen at times) then pac needs to try and land some good shots on the inside, then spin or pivot out, move away and repeat the process- but hatton will catch him if he manages to get inside and there will be some good exchanges before either pacman gets out of there or hatton clinches

but hatton will have eaten too many fast shots and will fall late, or get stopped on the inevitable cuts he will pick up

Hatton is pretty one dimensional from what i have seen, but hes good at using that style to win. Manny might not be ready for that hit hit hold stuff. Hatton has seen fast hands before so i think its Mannt that needs to come up with a gameplan.

[trainhard_187]

Hatton hasnt been the same since his KO from Mayweather. His fight with Lazcano a "C" and his fight with Paulie "B+". Again Hatton comes at you with his fist right below his chin, Ive seen in his fight with Kotsya and I still see it now. He hasnt changed that.
Unless he changes his old ways hell be looking like this again.

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

Hahaha too quick? You're ****ing crazy.

Hatton's gonna punish that body

not before Manny punishes that FACE!

[Robenson]

Another massacre for pacman. Hatton beat a man with a broken hand (paulie). If for the sake of argument, paulie has his hands, his punch is a puff (only 5 kos). So hatton was walking through paulie in that fight.

However, there is one instance paulie caught hatton with a right (or left, whatever) and hatton felt it and nod. Imagine if it was pacman who caught hatton like that, i dont think hatton can even nod. Just my two cents.
