Article: Pacquiao to face an "agressive, defensive, technical" Hatton

[J.B.moneY.]

That's all well and good but the problem Pac is going to have is trying to get the space to unleash his punches. Ricky will not be standing off Manny at range, he will use his quick footwork to cut the ring down on Manny so fast, he wont have time to set himself to put to many meaty punches together.

i agree, i see pac doing well early on, but then hatton is on him and active all night with his footwork, and people are going to be suprised by hatton's counterpunching....i see him wearing pac down in the later rounds

I can see this fight going like cotto-margarito where pac wil not only lose but get beat up badly.

well i could see early on pac getting the cleaner shots in, but hatton will stalk him all night, similar to the way margarito did...and at 140 with a live active jr. welter...i could see pac at least gettin tested down the stretch

Will not work coz Pac's footwork is much faster than Hatton.

in the malginaggi fight paulie just kept trying to be slick and coming in and hatton kept catching him all the time...i just dont see pac getting shots in on hatton without getting clocked a few times....hes not de la hoya

There's no such thing as a "defensive, technical" Hatton!

do people think ricky is not aware of his weaknesses.....thats why he got floyd,sr....floyd sr. trains mainly technical boxers....and roach is way overrated....its mostly pac, doing all the work

[deliveryman]

Even if Hatton's strategy is to box technically, it won't last long cuz his natural instinct is to just maul his opponent. And he can't match boxing skill and speed wit Pac anyway. Dude needs to rough him up inside to win, not try to be skillful.

I think you're misinterpreting what he's saying.

His plan is to rough him up on the inside.

He was referring on how to get into the inside. Head movement, an improved defense, a jab, and non-linear footwork, at least I would assume. I mean he's not a f*king idiot. He just can't bull rush in, that's how you get KO'd.

Hatton will miss all his punches
