Hatton is a Very Tough Fight For Pacquiao, Says Sulaiman

[GRUSTLER]

Pacquiao is an offensive fighter but sometimes has trouble with his opponent if they do not engage him. In the 2nd JMM fight Pacquiao didn't even know how to get inside Marquez's zone once Marquez started boxing. If you don't take the fight to Manny then he is hesitant to engage. He was swinging with his eyes closed at times? When Pacquiao is in the ring with a tough fighter it is not as easy as people would think. Hatton is going to make it difficult for him TRUST.

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!

Are you serious about your knowledge mate? Did you watch Hatton/Lazcano fight? A lightweight almost Knock Hatton out...

Oh did i hear Castillo? Castillo is far his best when Hatton fought him OK?

Hatton will win this inside of 10 if not quicker.people seem convinced that pacman is going to win handily because he beat up an empty shell in DLH,and a decent clubfighter in Diaz at lightweight,but worst of all is the boneheaded assumption that hatton has suddenly become ****e because he lost to Mayweather! Ask hattons other 45 opponents just how **** he is.Manny pacquiao is a Featherweight,he has spent most of his career around that weight,and he aint a particularly big one at that,and now after two meaningless wins preceded by what anyone with at least partial sight would see as a loss,he is suddenly going to dominate and batter someone who has been solidly consistent and the best in his division? yeah right! Before you pacfans start crying and throwing your insults at me,I must point out that manny is one of my favourite fighters of all time,but he is being badly advised IMO.Fair play to him for stepping up to face Hatton,and if he beats him it will be the most amazing achievement of his career,but he is in way,way over his head this time.

totally agree.manny is a great fighter i have liked him for years but he has been knocked out at flyweight and hatton will be 2 much for him.he hasnt faced a real fighter above 130 lbs and even though his game plan will be very good hes still going 2 get hit,hes no mayweather and now people are starting 2 realize this is a bad fight for him now the dust has settled over his de la hoya win.

I just can't understand why people here reply on their alts?

hello Mr crust its your friend castro here. first however bad his comp was in pacs last two fights, their was no sign that he cant handle moving up, maybe your right that hatton will be to big, but their is no evidence in that estimation so far. it looks like pac carries his weight well.

World Boxing Council president Don Jose Sulaiman predicts that Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao will have a tough fight against Britain’s IBO light welterweight champion Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton in their showdown on May 2. [details]

This article does nothing to convince me of anything. Suggesting Hatton would beat Diaz or Oscar faster than Pacquiao means nothing. It's about as credible as triangle theory.

Lee Beard says Pacquiao makes repetitive mistakes. Well, every fighter does, but I always arrive at the conclusion that Ricky's mistakes would be far easier to exploit than Manny's. Hatton's punch resistance just doesn't appear to be what it once was, either.

No one should count Hatton out, it would be foolish to do so, but honestly, would it surprise anyone if Pacquaio made Hatton look clumsy and amateurish? I don't think it would. On the other hand, I probably wouldn't be entirely surprised if Hatton beat Pacquiao. It's the fight game. Anything can happen, and one punch often changes everything.

This fight has the potential to go either way, but it's difficult to envision anything other than Pacquiao emerging victorious, whether it's on points (he is a more skilled boxer), stoppage (Hatton cuts easily), or flat-out KO.

May the best man win.

I'll cut my **** off with a flat head screwdriver if Manny Pacman beats Hatton.

Hatton's style will drive Manny nuts as he hasn't seen the kind of pressure Hatton is about to give him. Hatton will be the bigger stronger fighter and I saw drastic improvement in his boxing and timing under Floyd senior's strategy. You guys can eat the DLH hype all you want. Just remember the pressure is on Manny. Hatton also has a great chin and has taken big shots before (mayweather was the only one to catch him). Manny been knocked out in the first round b4 and another time back in the day when he was alot lighter. He hasn't felt a REAL punch at the 140-147 range yet as DLH couldn't catch him.
I think Manny is great but its like the great little guy versus the great bigger guy. Hatton is not gonna sit there like DLH. He is gonna keep coming like angry animal.

Peace.

No disrespect, but it would only be natural for you to big up Hatton. It makes Mayweather's win seem better, plus Mayweather Sr. is working with him. Of course you're gonna support Hatton.

By the way, Pacquiao has never been knocked out in the first round. He was KO'd by a 3rd round body shot 10 years ago against Medgoen Singsurat, possibly due to the shot being a low blow and Pacquiao being weight drained. Pac failed to make weight at the weigh-in. 112lbs was obviously impossible for him to make. Put Singsurat in the ring with Pacquiao today and you can bet your bottom dollar Pacquiao would make a mockery of him.

Hatton, on the other hand, was knocked out only just over a year ago by a punch that didn't even look very hard. It was just well-timed and precise.

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.

Oh, you mean like Mayweather?

Accumulation.

He beat David Diaz up for the whole fight & didn't drop him until the 11?

Incorrect. Look again. Diaz was KO'd and fell flat on his face in round 9.

How powerful could he be?

Powerful enough to obliterate Barrera, make Diaz fall flat on his face and get counted out, drop Marquez 4 times (almost 6), KO Morales twice, sent Oscar to "no mas land" (I think I just invented a new phrase!), and so on. That's respectable power. Oscar would have been knocked out if the fight had gone one more round. Luckily his corner didn't want to see him punished any longer than necessary.

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.

Yeah, and Hatton was wobbled by Lazcano and he was out on his feet in the final round against Collazo.

You talk about not underestimating Hatton, but you completely underestimate Pacquiao.
