Manny Pacquiao Showing No Mercy To Sparring Partners

[trainhard_187]

But we can agree that Hatton is a stronger more durable fighter than Diaz
right?

Oh yea, I agree 100% that Hatton is more durable no doubt in mind. I was only referring to Diaz's defense which IMO is better then Hatton's and I think others would agree to that. But even with the tight defense of Diaz, Pacquiao was still able to slaughter him up into ground beef cause the hand speed was too much. We all know Hatton bruises and cuts easily, thats a fact. How does Hatton handle hand speed? (Mayweather)

Pac shouldn't be beatin out on sparring partners.. Why risk hand damage this near to the fight? Why not conserve some aggression for Hatton? Reverse psycology may suggest that Pac/Roach may have employed the wrong tactics.. Most of it's probably BS anyway..

Ok man, when the Pacquiao/Mayweather fight happens we will meet
again and see who knows what, cool?

Oh man, IF or WHEN this fight gets made, thats a whole other discussion and I would lean towards Floyd on that one.

yeah, but did antillon get KOed in 3???

no he got KO'ed in 2.......and Valero had already gone 4 rounds of sparring

I would lean towards Floyd too. Manny would probably give Floyd problems for about 4 to 5 Rds because he is a fast South Paw but then after Floyd would bully him around the ring & **** him up because Pacquiao is too fast to try to wait and counter him.

Thats funny, how do you conserve aggression? Do you put it in a jar and say "im gonna use that for later"? I aint clowning but it just sounds funny. Anyways, Pacquiao has even said "If you trainhard (my avatar name) the fight will be easy. You want fighters to slap their sparring partners rather then give it your all, thats shear lazy IMO.

Why is Kobe usually always the first one in the arena warming up? Practice, practice, practice. Only athletes understand this philosophy.

Mayweather is a very technical fighter & he basically counter
punched Ricky to sleep. Pacquiao is balls out speed and offense.

Oh hell ya Floyd is technical. I got the Floyd and Hatton fight TIVOed too and have been watching it and really once Floyd figured out that Hatton just kept coming forward thats when he started mixing it up (8th round) and not while he was back peddling either. Floyd threw it to the body, head, head, body, and late part of the 8th he mixed it up again and had Hatton hurt. Both cases were not while Floyd was on the back peddle. Floyd knew that he would have to throw more to keep Hatton off cause those pot shots and lead rights werent cutting it, maybe on points but not slowing Hatton just yet. But again agree that Sr is there to improve Hattons game, so well see.
