HATTON will grow OLD OVERNIGHT against PACQUIAO!!!!!

[- JCHING -]

i didn't contradict myself. you're reaching.

the poster stated that manny couldn't hurt oscar so he had no power.

i've seen ricky hurt a few times and not just by mayweather.

pacquiao's power increases when he jumps weight. cutting weight minimizes his punching power.

manny might not be technically as skilled as floyd in defense and countering but as far as punching technique......manny throws his punches straight , fast and with power.

david diaz is more durable and tougher than ricky imo. he's also about the same size and strength.

this fight will go as the pac-diaz fight went. except it'll be shorter as ricky won't be able to withstand as much punishment as the tough american did.

pacquiao will control this fight. ricky's only respite will be the times he gets close and clinches with manny. those times will be few and far between.

The truth is, Hatton has only been KO'd once and by a bigger guy than him and Pacquiao. Hatton has improved since then also and at 140 noone has come close to beating him. Pacquiao has been hurt by guys much smaller than Hatton. With regards to how you see this fight being a Pac/Diaz - David Diaz is slow, slow, slow and Hatton is much faster, has better footwork, is definitely tougher and under Mayweather snr, he is more technically rounded as well.

left hook tua was pwned and exposed!

not bloody likely.

to say that hatton being only koed once is the same thing as oscar being koed once is a stretch of the imagination.

oscar de la hoya has been in with the best and some of the hardest punchers in his era from 130-160.

ricky's competition has not been so stellar. good but not to oscar's level.

oscar got koed by a body punch from a huge middleweight.

ricky got koed by one punch from a great fighter but certainly no bigger than him and certainly not a power puncher. (please don't use the ring post as an excuse.)

let me ask you this.

when was the last time floyd had a one punch ko like he did with ricky?

what weight?

floyd is NOT bigger than hatton , mate.

longer and taller maybe but NOT bigger.

Surley you're joking right???? Diaz is not more durable then Ricky that is absolute crap. Only one man at 140lbs can match Hatton for strenght and that's Urango who is a beast at the weight.

this fight will go as the pac-diaz fight went. except it'll be shorter as ricky won't be able to withstand as much punishment as the tough american did.

Unlike Diaz Ricky will not just be some sitting duck and he will actually be punching Manny back. Lets see how much punishment Manny can dish out on the back foot after he's been speared with a stiff left jab and then has Ricky cuting the distance down with his fast footwork.

Yeah right, he's not bigger...




He holds his own against 50 cent there. He is naturally bigger than Hatton and alot bigger than Pacquiao.

only one man can match hatton for strength at 140?

so i guess guys like holt , torres , bradley and witter are not very strong junior welters right?

if he is so damn superior in strength in comparison to everyone else at 140 , i don't see why he couldn't handle a 7 lb. jump in weight class that well.

diaz is one tough sob , mate. you forget the guy has had more fights at 147 than ricky.

his only loss before pacquiao was to kendall holt.



and i suppose diaz didn't try to punch manny right?

i guess his gameplan was to stand there and get hit?

do you know what diaz's gameplan was in fighting pacquiao? ask ricky , i bet you their gameplans are quite similar.

we'll see may 2nd. i'll eat crow if i'm wrong. just remember left hook tua when it happens as i thought it would.

Yeah, because Ricky Hatton is the master of the jab isn't he? He's always jabbing, jabbing, jabbing. Constantly working from behind his jab. Yeah right

Did you watch his last fight? His jab was VERY effective and Mayweather Snr. is training him how to use his jab more often and effectively.

they turned pro around the same time. floyd however was at 130 when ricky was fighting at catchweights above 140.

hatton is the bigger man.

just because floyd is good enough to acquit himself at divisions higher than ricky can does not change that fact.

Guess we will have to agree to disagree.

I'm in no way saying for certain that Hatton will win against Pacquiao - I'm not delusional like Pac nuthuggers - but this is NOT going to be an easy fight for Pacquiao. Hatton IS durable, IS improving under Mayweather Snr, IS alot faster than most people give him credit for and WILL pose problems for Manny on the night. If Pacquiao can withstand Hattons power shots, then he will win the fight undoubtedly. But Pacquiao WILL get hit in this fight, and thats one thing we know for certain.
