Is Hatton crazy enough to think he can box Pac?

[ßringer]

Wow you aren't giving Hatton a slight chance, You'e already seen my thread right? The reason why I believe Hatton will win

No, I haven't. Link me up to it, I'd like to read your take on it.

You're crazy as hell if you think the leprechaun takes this one.

Hatton knows he cannot win this fight. He's just trying to sell this so he can have a Bigger Retirement funds. Even his trainer Floyd Sr doesn't look confident in his guy. Floyd was there only for the Big Paycheck.

Even before PBF Koed hatton, way before we have the Pac-DLH fight, I have said it(at ESB) That this fight will happen & Pac will just Dominate Hatton. Want easy Money?? Bet on Pac Bigtime!!!

Subject that intrigues me about this fight.

If Hatton comes out with a kind of steady aggression and tries to get a measure of Pac, work his way in...like he appeared to do against Paulie...he's getting a shock.


He isn't realistically going to attempt that, is he? I mean, you'd think he knows that Paulie didn't have much to hurt him with and that Pac would be a different matter altogether...but you never know with Ricky.

Sometimes I wonder about him...his perception of his own strengths and weaknesses, I mean.




Months spent under the tutelage of Mayweather Sr. notwithstanding...he's going to come out to smother and maul the **** out of Pac, isn't he?

Isn't he?

hatton will try to box w/ pac in the first round, but after the first big left hand he eats, he'll start wrestling.

I cant see it going the distance.

Me either, in both scenarios (Pac win, Hatton win).

But my thinking follows the prevailing logic, that a 'clean fight' = a Hatton T/KO loss. He needs to be bully, not boxer, in this one.





Though, there are still things unknown about Pac above 130. And I see Manny having to absorb a flush, hard Hatton punch at some point, however Ricky elects to fight. So we'll see how Pac takes to it.

While I have Ping Ping as the favourite, I think people overrate him and his ****ty balance... and The Paler's a better boxer (when he wants to be) than people give him credit.

One thing we do know,is that we have got another two and a half months of talking **** about it,so it had bloody better live up to expectations!

Hatton is a much better boxer than people give him credit for, but he himself hardly ever boxes.

Therefore, it creates the impression that he's not capable.

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.

Bro I beg you stop with the sloppy comments. If Ricky had no defence whatsoever he wouldnt only have 1 defeat on his resume no matter who he has been fighting. And if you maintain that he hasnt got any defence then you surley must concede that he's got one of the best chins in the history of world boxing especially with his style. Ricky doesnt need to be as fast as Pac to be effective in this fight. If he carries on were he left off against Paulie he will be timing Pac and busting him mup with the jab alone - A well timed jab can neutralise any amount of speed. What do you mean he's never performed at Pac's level?? he's the top dog at 140lb - he's fought the best fighter in the world in PBF...if anything pac hasnt performed at Ricky's level yet.
