Hatton: "I Hope Pacquiao Improved His Body and Chin"

[fcastro1]

gotta admit

Ive never seen Hatton being backed up before and hes right in the fact that Pacquioa doesnt fight well on the backfoot.
Pacman could be in serious trouble if he gets pressured like Mayweather did in the early rounds because his defence is nowhere as good.

pac can box, watch against delahoya and diaz, he wasnt the agressor. he likes to move to the side and turn his opponents. this theory of pac not being able to fight on the backfoot is a myth. as if a fighter that has moved up through 7 weight divisions is that one dimensional. the question is once hatton gets hit like a pin'ata trying to move in, can change his style, nope. thats why roach beleives it will end early, because hatton is to brave and doesn't know how to fight another way.

You just set yerself up for a fall my friend!!!! Watch Hatton v Urango - Hatton v Maussa - Hatton v Malignaggi and then make comments like not knowing how to fight another way. Some how I seem to get the idea that the majority of people here have only seen Hatton fight once or maybe twice. Ricky Hatton from a very young age was being touted as a world champion and not for his maurading style,, for his footwork, hand speed, intelligence, heart and power. Billy Graham taught Hatton his way of training, and it worked for a while, but now it's time to bring the young Hitman back to the square and show all those Gayweather/Pac-wan tubes who the real entertainer is. Try and have even half of the wars Hatton has had in Europe, most boxers would be destroyed by now.

Hatton turned it down because apparently:

* He wasn't ready
* Oscar is too big
* Hatton needed two more fights

In other words, he was scared.

Hi, I was just about to post the same Sam, good thing I stumbled upon your post as I read along page 1-15.

hatton is banking on his size advantage... if the ref lets him maul and grapple it will win him the fight

hatton was fighting poor competition before tszyu except a few, of course he could box with them... but after tszyu it was mauling and grappling in every fight cause he was fighting better boxers.

to beat pac, hatton needs to grapple and maul... there is no other way for hatton

So the same thing can be said for Pac then, if he doesn't run back most of this fight then he's in trouble. And c'mon now, Pac-man loves a good tear up, he's no Mayweather,, sorry in other words, he's no bore. This fight is gonna be a cracker!! I'm Irish and I love it

[paylapz83]

please stop saying that paulie fight....paulie is not even close to pacs box ability and besides paulie only just throwing cotton candies man...
and u said dat u been hit by kostya and other fighter but u never ko...c'mon
man,maybe u forgot already the lefthook o floyd that leads u to see the 9 planets when u shake and kiss the canvas....hahahahaha...

[K U Y I P]

hatton will eat a lot of leather coming in.straight lefts and right hooks. pacquiao though, should develop the left hook cuz hatton drops his right hand most of the time coming forrward.

[EL ANIMAL]

So i take it ricky has zero concerns going into this fight huhh?? Ok. But one thing for sure u cannot mention paulie and manny in the same sentence period. Its a great fight but manny will tko him around 11th.

as i see it hatton is naturally stronger, the PACMAN is the better Boxer and Faster (foot and handspeed) now these are facts. for the chin department, i always believe that your only as good as your last few fights and we saw what happened to hatton in his last few fights. he was KO'd by PBF and was almost KO'd by Lazcano, ofcourse the ref had to let hatton tie his shoe laces for about how long?. as for the comments that the PACMAN is overrated, i say your talking out of your ass, the PACMAN fought his way up from fly to welter. a 5 division champ and has won 3 lineal titles(meaning he beat the best in those divisions, for those who really cant understand and just hating) which i think only a few boxer achieved, now how could that be overrated? the PACMAN was pound for pound #1 already before he fought diaz and DLH.
