The Reason Why Pacquiao's Early Lost Record Doesn't Matter

[Boxer1590]

like hatton who failed to beat the p4p number 1 once before, but this time is trying again more determined

against a smaller opponent whom he has a significant size advantage over.

i've watched all the morales fights about 15 times recentley and this is one reason why i think hatton's got a good shot....is morales really challenged him and threw his timing off on that fight...i see hatton doing someting similar...the last guy that forced the matter with pac was morales 1

You should watch Morales-Pacquiao 2, you can see how much Manny improved his defense, right hand, counter-punching, and most importantly.."patience"

He did not look for an early KO unlike at Pac-Morales 1.

Of course we have seen Manny has improved again with his footwork at the dream match, what if Manny has more improvements?

But what interests me is how much Hatton has improved as a boxer. If he improves his head movement, defense, and manages to be patient he will be successful.

Manny should be the underdog here since he is the challenger and it's his debut at 140lbs facing the divisions top fighter, it's just ridiculous that so many people totally count Hatton out.

I have my favourite when the fight comes that i'd be rooting for to win and I'll congratulate and give credit to the winner. I'll give respect to the loser too for I myself can't face any of those two warriors in the ring.

No shame in losing to Pac...No shame in losing to Hatton.
and much glory whoever wins this fight.

yeah i have no problem with saying that.......i dont see how old guys cant have similar excuses though....i mean pac fans were already saying he was past prime when he didnt look that good vs solis and barrera 2....

I think he may be talking about how it doesn't matter in relation to "now."

Of course it doesnt relate to now imho.

You're both right.
