Hatton Downplays Pacquiao's Win Over De La Hoya

[J.B.moneY.]

I can't even see Pacquiao losing if they do trade, Hattons' chin is the one with cracks in it, Pacquiaos got more speed...I might even give him the edge in the power department due to the speed. But seriously, Pacs combos>>>Rickys.

dude are you dilusional....pac has NO! one punch KO power...hahaha he ko's people after accumilation....and hattons chin is pretty solid...hes only been down 3 times in his carear out of 46 fights....hatton's problem is lack of defense, which has improved....and keep in mind hatton can counter pacs power left...slide and left hook to the body all night long....or pac is off balance and will get clubed...malginaggi had a 71 inch reach and was getting clubbed, pac has only a 67' he will get clubbed too....he makes a lot of mistakes when he fires his power left...just silly to say pac has more power than hatton

typical pac nuthugger comment.....i will do exactly what i did in the floyd fight and say that pac was the better guy if he wins....no shame if hatton loses to pacquiao.....i swear all pac nuthuggers think he is god or something....get real man...come back to earth

You only have to bear with Pac`s last 3 fights (which he will all win) after which he retires. We die a natural death. And you sufferings will be over. Don`t worry, there`s an end to everything, even this, a miracle which you see with your very eyes, yet not believe. When he retires, you will see how boring boxing is, or what`s left of it.

Actually, Freddie Roach already said Hatton is past his best because Floyd took it out of him.

I don't agree with Freddie Roach on that statement because I feel Ricky was on the decline before and after he fought Floyd. Just by how he was training & fighting showed that (Excessive drinking, getting too fat) He fired his long time trainer & hired the father/ex trainer of the man that gave him his only loss in his pro career? For Roach to say that shows that he is not always spot on. Freddie Roach has went on record saying he picks guys that he knows Manny can beat or tries to get some leverage for Manny to win & I think Hatton is not that guy that Pac will look so dominate against.

He fired Billy after Lazcano, right?

Urango and Castillo were the fights that led up to Mayweather Jr. so which fights did you notice a decline before Floyd?

Collazo fight he came in to bulked up so he said he wouldn't make the same mistake twice when he went back up to 147 to fight Floyd.

I do agree that he shouldn't be blowing up in weight and drinking.

Here's my take on it. Pacquiao is going to come off early as fast & elusive
but the pressure from Hatton will make him come out of his technical shell
and exchange power shots in the middle of the ring and on the ropes &
Hatton will finish him. If Pacquiao cannot hurt Ricky Hatton in that fight
and avoid him by boxing in/out then Pacquiao is going to lose bottom line.
Ricky is not going to be afraid to take the fight to Manny & being that
he feels he is the man to beat he has a lot more to lose & I think that will
make him more focused than ever.

Pacquiao has relatively no defense & is pretty much there to be hit & Hatton is not as fast as Manny but he is fast & has good power and I think Manny won't be able to totally out box Hatton for 12rds. To beat a fighter like Ricky, DEFENSE is the way to do it not power & that's why his only loss is from a defensive technician, not a speedy, decent power puncher because Hatton already proved that he can take a punch & cut the ring off. Manny is not a skilled counter puncher & will have to exchange punches with Hatton & I give the edge to Ricky.

lazcano hurt ur boy grustler... remember?

hatton wobbled over and advanced towards lazcano lookin to clinch...

the ref played around & when he was through, he made hatton tie his shoelaces!

lazcano is no defensive master & im not saying lazcano won that fight... point is, if lazcano can hurt hatton why cant MP? can u name any elite fighter lazcano has beaten, and can u name MP's? can u tell me who had been competing in the elite level longer?

u keep on criticizing MP's defense, u think hatton is any better?

dude i agree with some of ur statements...boxing is better cuz of manny, and i'm a fan of his...i just think hes heavyweight attitude gets him in trouble either here in this fight or next....the guy makes a lot of mistakes and can get seriously clocked if not carefully

dude hatton was poorly trained in that fight, and was gases...but the WIDE scorecard victory in hatton's favor should end this arguement....hatton outboxed the guy for 12 rounds....what grustler was trying to say is somebody with rickys power can hurt pac, cuz pac defense is ok at best....hes not an elusive fighter

pac has to win in sensational style if he wants to bring
mayweather out of retirement. he has to look good

Well, lots of peeps including me are actually getting disappointed with Pac, he`s getting a bit arrogant because of money. But that`s not boxing. I`ll change this avatar when he retires anyway, maybe delete my account. I predict if he gets past Hatton, its Pac vs. Cotto, then Forrest or Chavez Jr. if he gets a title. Cuz Pac will try to break all records before retiring. And PBF in between. I`m just waiting for Pac`s next loss then it will be Pac-JMM3. Its good for the sport.

Listen man, you have your opinion but to say Pac moving up to 140 to
fight a man that has basically been fighting there his whole career has the better chin & power is to me not logical. Hatton has had his chin checked at 140 & 147 by stronger guys physical and power wise and has only been knocked out by a guy that had to beat up on him for 10 rds DEFENSIVELY. Pac has been wobbled by Juan Manuel Marquez at 130 & JMM is not even a bigger puncher than Manny at 130?

So how can Manny move up & out power a naturally bigger/stronger guy who chin has been tested by heavy hitters? It will be an exciting match for sure! I smiled when I saw the 24/7 poster on the train. I'll tell you one thing and that is Pacquiao WILL NOT be putting on a boxing clinic against Hatton. Manny will be fighting for 12rds & then only will see how durable he is against a PRIME tough fighter above 135.
