Hatton on The Offensive, Verbal Attack on Pacquiao

[- JCHING -]

because you want to be lied to


things pac has learned since first mab fight:

- developed right hook
- lateral movement
- turns opponents
- developed uppercut
- counterpunching on the inside
- lead with the straight left
- better footwork / balance


so was lazcano and hatton struggled


doesn't make pac's performance any less dominant. he still displayed better skills than before.


because haters just want to discredit pac and not looking at it objectively

By versatility Hatton meant the way in which he fights, not skill wise. Manny just fights in/out, in/out against every opponent. He has not shown he is versatile in terms of style.

Hatton is making claims against Pacquiao but not claiming he is any better, just stating facts, so to say, "Oh, Hatton struggled against Lazcano", doesn't mean s**t because no-one is making him out to be some untouchable fighter after that win, like people are doing after Pacquiao's wins over Diaz and DLH.

It's just hyperbole. There has been a lot of respect on both sides by both fighters, all Hatton effectively said that Manny was not the hardest person to hit. And let's be fair he is not. People unfortuanly take these things out of context, this is hardly a Verbal Attack.

David Haye on Wladimir Klitschko is what I describe as a 'Verbal Attack.'

I agree to with you to some extent, but did de la hoya hit manny, not a whole lot, yeah Ricky is a strong puncher but most of his punches are wide only when he gets in is when he can get good body punches. You will see pacquiao dance like a butterfly and sting like a bee. If you say that Manny is easy to hit, I think Ricky is alot easier to hit, if you compare how much both guys defense improve I have to say that Manny has improve his defense better than Ricky, besides Malanaggi has no punching power thats the difference plus he can't dance in the ring like manny can.

It will be a sad day when manny Pac isn't fighting anymore, but I will be extremely hapy that I wont need to read Ronnie's garbage

[Orgasmatron]

It's all hype. Pacman v.s. Hitman, good guy v.s. bad guy. Someone has to take the role on.

Exactly. hatton is just stepping up.

man hatton is going down cant wait for next week. filipino party at my pad..

Roach's plan is working. He knew that Manny wasn't going to say anything to get under Hatton's skin, so he took it upon himself to do it. Now Hatton is responding again and becoming a bit emotional about the fight.

This is exactly how Floyd did it. Hatton was already a beaten fighter before the fight even started. Floyd got too him mentally and threw out his gameplan. Watch the weigh-in for that fight and tell me Hatton was in the right frame of mind.

I have never heard Roach be this mouthy before a fight but I think he knows that Hatton will bite and will forget everything he trained for and just go for the KO.

pac's wasn't an in/out type fighter before... pac used to charge in and stay in the pocket.

sorry, but you're wrong.

hatton is claiming that he has improved after getting floyd sr. as a trainer for 1 fight, but is claiming that pac hasn't improved after being with roach for 8-9 years.

that's kinda hard to believe.

hatton is definitely coming into this fight overconfident and is not taking pac seriously at 140.

I gotta agree, a angry hatton is a dumb hatton is a hatton that loses

Ronnie will then latch on to Nonito or Viloria, who, although are only part-time Filipinos, are Filipinos nonetheless. I don't think you can shut Ronnie up.

Again, Pacquiao has changed over the years, but has not shown he is versatile from fight to fight i.e. he doesn't fight differently each fight or show signs of mixing it up in a fight.

Hatton has improved since being with Floyd Mayweather Snr, considering he was pretty bad against Mayweather and Lazcano but put on a much more rounded performance against Malignaggi. That showed improvement.

Hatton is not overconfident, just confident and maybe baffled at the fact Pacquiao is seen as the hot favourite at a weight class Hatton has dominated for years, after only 2 convincing wins against an average fighter and a past prime, dehydrated Oscar.
