If Pacquiao is to beat Hatton he MUST............

one thing i'd like to add too, i've mentioned it once before and i think its an overlooked detail in this whole thing: Ricky's Jab


look, i dont care how great everyone on this site seems to make Floyd Sr seem to be but he's not gonna make a white PBF out of ricky...and he's not gonna make him a master counterpuncher like JMM...what he can do is employ his ward to re-new a spirited dedication to THE KEY for a hatton victory


ricky's not gonna time PAC...not standing still and not while he's eating punches...what he can do tho, is to throw off PAC with a steady, solid jab...not some pawing, lazy jab, he gets KTFO in that case but a good jab....he needs to be religious with it...even if he doesnt follow it up all the time, its imperative that he establish a jab...its his only chance


PAC fights in rhythm...its a rhythm that his opponents have difficulties timing but if you jab consistently (look at JMM and EM's bouts), it disrupted PAC's rhythm and he kept having to reset....they kept making contact and it would throw manny off...if floyd and ricky figure this out, then their chances increase...if they dont employ and stay faithful with that jab, then it'll be a rough night

I agree that JMM and EM both gave Pac trouble with the jab im not sure if it will work for Ricky though, because of his T-rex arms

The only jab ive ever seen from Hatton is the up jab

with hatton's midget arms he probably wont be able to outjab pac.

jmm never controlled pac with the jab... he just set traps and waited for pac to spring the trap and countered. in any case jmm never beat pac.

morales' jab was very long and strong in the first fight and he fought really tall... hatton just doesnt have those advantages.

hatton's only chance is to wrestle and maul pac. the jab will be useful in distracting pac and helping hatton get into grappling position.

hatton needs to play to his strengths which is basically his physical strength and tenacity. if hatton tries to get cute he will get punished.
