Hatton is a Very Tough Fight For Pacquiao, Says Sulaiman

[Roger Yomama]

Hatton will stop him inside 10 rounds. He's gonna surprise pacman with how fast he closes in on his man and starts roughing them up. Pacman is a badass and can't resist a brawl, it's one of the reasons we all like watching him fight, and Hatton knows how to make fights ugly and in that type of bout he will put a beating on Manny.
I'm really looking forward to it, two fighters at the peak of their careers going full on for the title. These are the fights we all want to see. There is only so many Calzaghe-Jones type fights that I'm willing to pay for so I'm ****ing excited about this.

THERES ONLY ONE RICKY HATTON!!!!! I can't wait to see the look on the faces of the Hatton doubters when they see PAC on the ****in floor. HATTON!

Hatton wins this, stop being delusional people. Manny is great, but he is not winning that fight.

[SpArKeD-CoLd]

ill be proper suprised if manny wins......

he aint mayweather, hatton will catch him

Pac has fought better Top Tier opposition compared to Hatton. Hattons big win was just Kotsya. He fought Mayweather who was at the top of the overall game and we know what happened. Hatton beat Kotsya who was a top 140lber but thats about it. Pac takes this one, Hatton slows down around the mid to late rounds and Pac closes the show, end of discussion.

That's what I keep saying!! Hatton will wind up being too much for Pacquiao
at 140. I feel Hatton will be the bigger puncher. Hatton went head up with Tszyu & Castillo & made them guys quit at 140! Despite how people view them being past their primes but them guys were heavy punchers & Hatton destroyed them. Pacquiao is not going to be able to maul through Ricky like he did Diaz & won't be able to man handle Hatton like he did De La Hoya. The only thing Pacquiao has over Hatton is speed and being a south paw but if Hatton can adjust to his stance then he can give Pacquiao problems.

Plus Hatton is a speedy guy himself & if he continues to move his head while working his way in like he did against Malignaggi & use that jab then I see him pulling this off. I'm not a big Ricky Hatton fan but I like him & won't underestimate him especially since he has only 1 loss out of a professional career of 4+ fights & the loss was from a bigger, more technical defensive fighter. Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter but he gets hit way too much & rarely displays defense. I see this fight being explosive & competitive.

Sulaiman also said Delahoya was too big for Pacquiao and it was going to be a mismatch. Yall are fooled by Pac's smiles and kind personality outside of the ring but in the ring the man switches his mode to obliterate his opponent.

for hatton to impose his strength he needs to overcome pacs speed, reach, straight punches, and punch output. i find it hard to believe he will just walk through pacs punches. to much punishment to land one meaningfull blow.

Last month Sulaiman was blasting Ricky, that Ricky does not deserve a 50-50 split and now this?

Here's why I'm not totally sold on Pacquiao dominating Ricky Hatton

Pacquiao is not a devastating puncher like everyone makes him out to be.
His damage is done as he continuously connects with his opponent.

EXAMPLE: He couldn't KO Juan Manuel Marquez after connecting flush in both fights & knocking him down 4 times. He beat David Diaz up for the whole fight & didn't drop him until the 11? How powerful could he be? Then he beat on Oscar & got an 8th round stoppage. Manny power comes mostly from his speed not so much that he is a devastating power puncher because if he was, then with all the punches he lands on his opponent they would be KO'd by the
4th RD.

Manny Pacquiao will have to mix it up with Ricky Hatton to inflict damage on him & to my knowledge Hatton takes a punch well & can KO you with less
punches than Pacquiao can. Also Hatton has fought bigger punchers than Manny Pacquiao & did not get knocked down or KO'd until PBF. Hatton is NO Diaz & De La Hoya and if Manny comes in swinging wild Hatton is going to welcome him because that's his style of fighting. Ricky Hatton stopped Tsyzu
and broke Castillo ribs, how difficult could Pacquiao be besides being a South Paw? Hatton is pretty fast on his feet too so don't sleep. I can't wait till the fight!
