if Manny throws all his...

[dumber79]

tactics out of the window and decides to go toe to toe with Ricky, what will the outcome be??

I think that it'll be curtains if Manny decides to trade with hatton. I think it woull suit ricky down to the ground if they do that, Hatton would punish him and hurt him severely. Although Hatton with be ready to box and move, now he has floyd.

exactly........people forget that pac's natural instinct is too brawl just as much as ricky does....we got 2 guys that love to fight.....roach has instilled manny with boxing tools....i personally believe that if hatton tags him a few times it will be manny that will go back to his old style of trading shots....not hatton which some "experts" believe will go back to his old style.....if hatton can force pac into trading shots or into a battle of my strength against your strength...it plays into hatton's favor.....i'm sure roach is aware of this.

hatton always had been ready to box & move even during the time graham was handling him my lad... have u watched his fight with tackie?

why the hell he abandoned those underrated boxing skills of his in favor of frequent clinching is anyone's guess...

both of the combatants will feel the power of each in the early goings... if MP feels he can handle hatton's power, he might oblige & us fans will benefit greatly for a ****in brawl for the ages...

things is JB, I/we, see this as 50/50, unlike manny, sorry I mean many nuthuggers. What i also believe is that RH's improvement for the few months he had prior to the Paulie were unbelievable, if he's built on that then he's added even more strings to his bow. On top on that, he'll always have that fighting instinct in him, so if the fight shapes up to that, then even better. If manny decides to trade he will loose.if he boxes and moves and hatton hasn;t built on the paulie fight hatton will get beat.

I do hope they stand and trade, just like Diaz and JMM, as there will be fireworks.

I've never seen any fighter who made Manny backs up with strength to strength type of fight. If that happens i see Pac throwing those well-angled combinations to Hattons face and Hatton will force to hug, wrestle like he always do and end up getting DQ'd. Then Vince McMahon will see how good Hatton in wrestling and try to recruit Ricky in WWE.

come on talip though, you must see the improvement?? i'm a huge, huge fan of billy g ( and his pimp hat) but hatton did take some licks. look at tzyu fight and sadly PBF, caught way too many time. the thing with KZ fight, KZ wanted to trade, whereas PBF was very clever and was happy to exchange punch for puch.

im not really familliar with all of ricky's fights... what i do know is that he was very different kind of boxer then than he is now...

he showed lots of feinting & excellent head movement in that tackie fight, as well as the vince phillips fight... & whats the name again JB? was it quiros?

the hatton version we saw against PBF... i think it was team hatton's gameplan to make a fight out of it & not try not to outbox a master boxer...
probably taking a page out of castillo's gameplan...

i agree with u though... hatton needs to make MP fight to win...

[cuzfozzy]

hatton will be clinching at air ...
