Hatton, Eager To Snatch Pacquiao's Title as Boxing's Best

[trainhard_187]

What is Hatton known more for? His shots to the body (Castillo). In order for Hatton to attack Pacquiaos body he would have to take some serious leather.
You think Pac is going to allow Hatton to come in and fight an inside fight?

Hatton doesnt box on the outside he swings coming in and when he's in, thats when he does most of his work. He rarely works off a jab. His game is in the inside and he will take some serious punches coming in.

I promise you, once Pac senses Hatton weakening towards the mid to late rounds he'll come in and throw more punches. Pac can close a show once he senses that his man is weak.

Never lost at 140 , you need to understand weighin weight and fightweight , it was a real 140 fight , it was officially for a 147 title but dont kid yourself they were jnr welters not welters and Floyd knocked him out , Hatton stepped in at the same weight he fought Castillo and Floyd was a little lighter , this never been beat at 140 is a crock .

To add to that, 140 is the catch weight for both fighters. Once Pac makes the 140 he'll balloon up to probably Welter or a little less. Pac came in to the fight with DLH at 148, same speed and power, enough power to wobble DLH and do damage to DLH face.

only fools would think that the PACMAN will allow ricky to maul and hold him down. before he gets even close, a rapid fire of punches will rain down on ricky's face like a machine gun, if you dont believe this, put your money where your mouth is and bet on ricky hatton lolz^^.

He used to use his jab a lot more in the past, then he went through a couple of years of forgetting to use it. He used it more against Malignaggi than he had for a long time. He knows he has to use the jab a lot more against Pac to stand a chance. The jab, head movement, and lateral movement/angles are the things he will be mainly working on with Mayweather Snr. Doesn't mean he'll win, he probably won't, but you're underestimating him, and you're underestimating Mayweather Snr., when you say things like that.

Now that the fight is signed and delivered, below is the most common inner thought amongst Hatton fans who are contemplating on placing a bet for this bout:

"..Hmmm..Pacquiao will be KO'd by Hatton. I know that for sure! He hasn't fought a live opponent this high a weight. Besides I like Hatton very much, he is one of us and lives like one of us. I know he was KO'd by Floyd but that was at 147. This time, it's at 140 where he reigns supreme. Haha.. Pacman is in for a rough ride.. that body will have to withstand the hardest punches it's about to receive! Haha.. yess. Ricky will win this!."

"But... hang on, Manny is the P4P today hmmm.. Dunno now.. he hasnt been KO'd for many years now since his early lossess. Is he really that great? .. Im confused now. I lost too much money when I bet against him versus Oscar. Ok, ok. Need to make up my mind now..Ah, what the heck. Here it goes, I will bet £200 for Ricky to win at 11/4 odds. But just to play it safe, I'm gonna place, as well, a safety bet of £500 for Pacquiao to win via TKO Round 7 at 8/1 odds in case my analysis is wrong in case Ricky breaks his promise again.......yup,...I think that's it. I'll do that now with Ladbrokes."

True story.

Amen to that!

During the official announcement for the May 2 clash between Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao, better known as the “Battle of East and West,” Hatton who is handled in the United States by Golden Boy Promotions, was given a boost by Oscar De La Hoya who said “I think Hatton will dethrone Pacquiao and become boxing’s pound-for-pound king.” [details]

This is tantamount to Oscar saying Ricky can beat him(ODH) more easily than Manny did. hahahaha....

razors

If you're against a fighter like JMM you'd be hit no matter what!

Pacman's fists were re-tooled with "razors" starting with his fyt with DDiaz. Ricky's face will be crimson and blue from beatings and cuts......David and Oscar are living testaments to this claim!!
