Roach: "If Pacquiao Fights Smart, He Beats Hatton Easy"

[RisAri0]

I believe we're gonna see the counter-puncher in pacquiao for this fight... catch hatton with counters and then finish him off once he catches him a couple times..

[Michelle21]

If Manny will stay sharp, focus & patient, there is no doubt he would dominate this fight.

if you think roach is vastly underestimating hatton, you got to listen to floyd sr! "vastly underestimating" is too good a word...

CO-Sign for this one.

[Grand Champ]

If Pacman shows up to the fight he'll win it.

Manny Pacquiao showed the world he is the more flexible and the complete packaged boxer. There is nothing wrong with people thinking less of Ricky Hatton imo. But, I don't really believe too much on either coaches' show offs . I believe in the fighter who is training beyond tough.

When Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton square off on May 2nd, it will be a meeting of the two biggest stars in boxing. Not only is this a big fight in terms of significance, it is also an international event with the British superstar sure to bring his raucous following all the way to the bright lights of Vegas. However, the popularity contest is over once the bell rings, so what should we expect when it's time for the fists to fly?

I wish after Pacquiao beats Hatton....Roach smacks floyd sr in the post fight press conference. I bet you anything in the world the Mayweather jr fight gets signed if daddy gets suckerpunched

Can you see Ricky Hatton using his jab against pacman?

He needs to, but it's not really natural for him. Even though he broke a speedy guy in Malignaggi down with it.

Ricky needs to ward of the red mist, I don't think he'll do it when Pacman is smacking him with snappy straight punches, it'll get on Hatton's ****, and he'll go gung-ho, imo.

Hatton will jab like he's never jabbed before. He'll also show more angles and more head movement than ever before. That's what he hired Floyd Snr. for, and he's not going to hire one of the world's best trainers just so he can ignore his advice. He's not that ******. Doesn't mean he'll win, he probably won't, IMO, but don't underestimate Floyd, and don't underestimate Hatton's willingness to learn from Floyd. He'll jab all right, and it will be a competitive fight.
