Is Hatton crazy enough to think he can box Pac?

[Roger Mellie]

it aint boxing what hatton does, he comes in with full momentum behind everything, he leaps around and feints, hes a proper live wire.. its hard to just stand in the center of the ring and stand your ground, when pac throws punches hes gonna get the aftermath of hatton holding and body shots

That is an interesting way of looking at it.Like I said,I reckon ricky is going to jump on him in the first 3,so you never know.havent looked yet,but I reckon you would get cracking odds,and its worth a shout as an outside bet.

Or at that point, will Ricky ignore Floyd Sr.'s counsel whatever and just do what he knows works for him?

This is it. I think most fighters will just automatically revert to doing what they've been doing throughout their whole career if it isn't working out. They say "you can't teach an old dog new tricks", and it's definitely true to a certain extent, especially when a fighter is 40+ fights into the game. No matter what the trainer tells his fighter though, he can only do whatever their opponent will allow him to. I see Ricky getting frustrated at some point and going back to his old ways, BUT, this may be exactly what he needs to do.

Like we were saying in the other thread, MIB, Mayweather Sr. appears to be trying to train Ricky out of his "bad habits", but those bad habits could be the exact key to winning the fight. As much as I dislike Ricky's ugly style, it's more likely to be successful against Pacquiao than trying to box him.

Ah **** it... Pacquiao late T/KO!

I honestly don't see how anybody (aside from a drunk Hatton fan) is picking Ricky in this one. Ricky has no defense whatsoever, he's not as fast as Pacquiao, he's never performed at Pacquiao's level, he struggles with speedsters, and his face is literally one giant lump of scar tissue.

I see no other possible outcome than Pacquiao to win by embarassing **** before the 9th round.

Best of luck to Ricky and his fans though, if he wins, I'll be the first to step up and eat my words.

I reckon he is going to try and have a real go at pacman in the first few rounds just to let him know he is in a fight and to see if pacman can hold up at the weight,possibly because conventional wisdom would say that he would try and feel him out for a while.I think this is going to be a great fight with both fighters changing their tactics regularly throughout.I think it will be a war of attrition ending somewhere around 9,10 or 11 with Hatton winning. I just hope that there are no cuts or injuries because if this fight lives up to its potential it could be one for the ages.

If it turns into that kind of attritional fight, Hatton's getting cut. Find it hard to see the fight getting into that late round kind of territory without some of those sharp, accurate cut-opening type shots having found their mark on Ricky by that point.

If you'd known I always have any fighter over Vic. I don't like Vic because of his face. Creepy looking dude

He will need a **** hot cutman.Like I say,I rate both fighters,they are both brilliant at what they do and are brilliant to watch.I know how good hatton is inside and how strong he is,but I just dont see as much holding in this fight as in others,particularly the mayweather fight.I reckon it could actually be quite a clean fight while it lasts.I cant see it going the distance.

So many threads in here, I lose track.

What's the reason?
