Hatton Downplays Pacquiao's Win Over De La Hoya

[trainhard_187]

dude, look at the circumstances...this is the reigning jr. wleter champ....only he and tzyu have cleaned this division out since the late 90's...somehow people are so confident pac is going to win, not only win but knock the guy out....get real....it hatton doesnt stand still like david diaz and oscar did, he should at least put himself in position to win this

What is Hatton going to do? Box Pacquiao, who wins in that department seriously?

You think Pacquiao is going to stand face to face, toe to toe, and exchange blow for blow with Hatton like Kotsya did? HELL NO.

Pac will stick and move, making Hatton swing and miss and if Hatton were to get Pac on the ropes, Pac steps away.

Please dont tell me Hatton size is to much for a fighter who has brought his arsenal to a higher weight class then 140. Even if you give Oscar the excuse of being weight drained that still doesnt diminish the fact that Pac still had SPEED AND POWER to stop him. Remember, even though Oscar didnt get knocked out, he was beaten to a point from preventing him of getting knocked out telling you that Pac still has power to hurt a Welter.

If Pac decides to fight Hatton face to face blow for blow, I would give Hatton a chance but I guarantee you Pacquiao turns, move, and spins Hatton as if he were controlling him like his puppet.

He also said that speed would be the key.
Please tell me all the things that Oscar and his team said before the fight? just to be fair.

oscar said he would be the bigger man argument was his thing before the fight....so now everybody just dismisses this argument...which i dont understand...but oh well media people i guess

Good things came out of the Oscar camp. Although, there was rumors with him getting lit up in sparring.

Good things came from Ali's mouth as well before he fought Holmes.



You can't sell a fight saying: "Oscar looks like crap"

The affects of what you are doing to your body can happen as you get closer to the fight and weeks have gone by.
Like Freddie pointed out, he knew it was over as soon as the weigh-in.

In the end, it's all on Oscar because getting yourself prepared properly is all a part of the game. It actually starts with signing the fight and getting the terms together (like which weight to have the fight at and where, etc. etc. etc.)

hatton is going to be up i nhis face all night...similar to the what morales was against pac i nthe first fight...and hatton has some of the best foot work in the game...cutting the ring off.....good night pac...if he has to keep fighting going backwards all night...and if hatton gets him to the ropes just pound, pound away on that little tiny body of his...against 100mph body punches...good night little manny

Thanks.
He also said "im gonna take his heart", "It would be a failure if i didnt knock him out", " If freddie thinks he knows me hes got another thing coming".

What did Nacho say before, during and after the fight?
What did Dundee say before and after?

If youre gonna repeat what roach said before the fight might as well be fair and do the same with Oscar and his team.

The same thing goes for Pac and roach trying to hype up the fight so it wont be viewed as a mismatch. Stop the double standard just because It was PAC who came out on top.

[El Dominicano]

Hatton was right in everything he said

yea i always thought a lot of that garbage oscar spouted was dumb....he did say there would be knock out i heard that one....and roach said he couldnt pull the trigger anymore....but roach also said that about hopkins against pavlik

It's not double standards.

Freddie's words proved right because unlike Oscar and his team, Freddie remembered his history. Freddie was backing up his words through experience and what history showed him.

Freddie is one of the most cautious people in boxing. People like Freddie look at everything; they look at the advantages and disadvantages and weigh the risks. He goes over all the details in his head over and over.

This is the part of Freddie I really like and why I do consider him one of the best in the game today. I may not agree with everything he does, but he has my respect with many things.

It doesn't mean he is always right or will not ever fall into the trap of over-looking things or becoming to big-headed, but overall, he does seem to try to stay calm for the sake of his fighter (and his own career).

What did Oscar say after the fight to Freddie?

What does your history show you?

Ok guy, keep kidding yourself. You think Hatton is going to keep pushing Pac backwards all night long, again Pacquiao will move, turn, and spin Hatton as if he were his dancing with the stars partner.

In order for Hatton to even come forward to press Pacquiao you think he isnt going to taste leather doing so? And if Paulie bruised Hattons eye and Mayweather cut him up in the 3rd you dont think Pac's punches are gonna slow Hatton down from trying to maul and come forward.

I dont think Hattons that dumb to keep pressing the situation coming forward take jabs and left hands in the process well actually I DO since we all know what happened when Mayweather kept getting in his pot shots and lead rights during the mid part of that fight, HATTON SLOWED DOWN.

Hatton is competitive for the first 3rds while he still has his batteries charged but come mid to late rounds after numerous counters, jabs, lefts, combinations, spinning, turning, and chasing Pac, Hatton slows down and is stopped.
