Hatton Downplays Pacquiao's Win Over De La Hoya

[GRUSTLER]

Style and the execution of the game plan are the one who will determine the outcome of the game... A triangular reasoning can't be a proof that a boxer will certainly win... If i will also going to follow it, I would also say that if malinaggi who is far less skilled and has a feather fist could last 11 rounds with hatton, how much more pacquiao...

This fight i think is close if hatton can cut the ring and can take manny's punches... Unfortunately if hatton can't dance with pac's footwork, then hatton will take a beating until pac's punches accumulated and there will be a late round TKO for pac...

If the former happens then there will be an early KO for hatton if his punches is strong enough for pac... Unfortunately if pacquiao can take them, then it will be a long explosive night full pack with excitement... There will be a close UD or a draw...

Since pacquiao have the edge or advantage in all aspect except the power, I'll favor pacquiao to win since he has more tools to overcome hatton...

But what you guys are forgetting is that Hatton is a speedy fighter & has good foot work in the ring so it's not like Pacquiao is going to dance circles around him. That's my thing, people really think Pacquiao is the flash. Maybe compared to guys like De La Hoya and Diaz but Hatton? I think Hatton is going to surprise Manny with his speed as well & stick that jab in his face all night. I hear you with Malignaggi but you have to take into consideration that Malignaggi went the distance with Miguel Cotto & his only two loses are from Cotto/Hatton with Hatton winning by stoppage. Malignaggi held on to Hatton numerous times not to fall by jabs alone. Plus Pauli is fast & had to rely on his speed & skill to make up for his lack of power & Hatton totally dominated him.

Let's get one thing straighten out. Dehydrated means when you're trying lose pounds overnight in a hurry! Oscar was there (145 lbs.) weeks before the fight, and I don't buy this Pacman was heavier the night of the fight bs. We all got our own set of eyes, Oscar was the heavier guy out there, if you don't believe me, watch the fight again...

147 on fight-night at WW against Manny vs. 164+ (fight-night weight for his JrMW fights).

He killed his body through dieting and training. You will become weaker when you do this.

Freddie Roach goes into this one as well. Better listen to what he said since you probably will not listen to me.

Ocar looked skinny. The only thing that still looked big was his Head.

If Manny had to lose around 20 pounds for his next fight, how do you think he would fight?
And that is an active Manny.

pleez dont exaggerate. delahoya is a light middle weight which 154 his prior fight was at catchweight of 150 that is only 3 pounds difference between his fight with pac at 147.

when you put the facts together this weight drained excuse is getting played to death.

What was his fight-night weight for each?

For example: Pac fought Diaz at 135 division, yet weighed in at 147 by fight-time.


Did you listen to Freddie Roach?

You don't know ****.

ODLH weighed in at 154 at light middle weight, but did he weigh that in the ring on fight night? No, he would put on up to 10lbs extra, so up to 164 lbs come fight night.

What did he weigh against Pac? 147? thats a 20lb weight difference due to him being dehydrated! F***ing hell you pac nuthuggers are the most ignorant, deluded and irritating fans ever!!

he messed up his training. but the fact is that their was only 3 pounds weight difference with his last fight and his fight with pac.

is this a new trend in boxing to give sympathy towards the guy that messed up his training and discredit the winner?

why dont you put it through your thick skull that no one told delahoya to make weight 2 months before the fight. pachaters do anything to discredit pac. he messed up his training so why the f### are you defending him? pac gets the credit you tool.

i'm sorry but beating an old oscar who has nothing anymore,no desire to win,,means nothing,,,it was different when he lost back in the late 90's...but now,it's like who cares...

So he showed up at 150 by fight-time in his prior fight?

I don't have sympathy for Oscar; that is not the point. The point is knowing what happened so you can learn from it. Freddie learned from other fighters of the past when they made the same crucial mistake.

At Oscar's age, being past his prime, where he must have felt he was at in his career to have to fight Pac, and hadn't fought at 147 for such a long time, that all added up to his destruction.
