Ricky Hatton Massive Interview Transcript on Pacquiao

[baracuda]

Pacquiao hasn't really proved himself above 130, so in that sense Ricky's right. We won't know how well he can take the punches of a legitimate Jnr Welterweight until after the fight; and nor will we know if he has enough power at that weight to knock out an elite fighter who's more or less in his prime until after the fight.

But still, he's at the least a natural Lightweight now, and possibly a natural Jnr Welterweight. The weight he had when he started at is irrelevant, especially as he turned pro when he was only 15.

im not denying the fact that ricky is bigger.i was responding to what alcoholic said ,him being sick about people saying pac is so small.go back and you'll see what im talking about !

[baracuda]

He means weight, i thought most boxing fans would realise that.

isn't that what makes divisions?...then you said pac is bigger than ricky...

[DUnknown1]

pacquiao is not one dimensional and pacquiao will be lightening fast by the time the fight comes and pacquiao is the one who ajusts to you not you to him.. and hatton just talked mad **** buts its ight weel see on may 2nd

pacquiao is not one dimensional

Yes he is, he alway keeps he never switches from his aggressive style.
Never have I seen him fight and wait on his opponent. So in fact yes he is one dimensional, not that it is a bad thing.

pacquiao will be lightening fast by the time the fight comes

you're right on that one

pacquiao is the one who ajusts to you not you to him

Doubt it, during the Marquez fights he kept using the same technique, nothing changed.

I didn't say Pac was bigger tha Ricky, i said he's bigger in most measurements but Hatton weighs about 5lb more than him on fight night. Which isn't such a massive difference.

but did it work?...who officially won?...

but did it work?...who officially won?...

You are still missing the point , if it worked or not, Pac did not change his style, therefore Pac is one-dimensional. And like I said before there is nothing wrong with that, but call it like it is.

you said pac's bigger in most of the measurements,do you deny sayin this?i don't think you would..

[baracuda]

You are still missing the point , if it worked or not, Pac did not change his style, therefore Pac is one-dimensional. And like I said before there is nothing wrong with that, but call it like it is.

you're missin my point as well!let me simplify it for you:would you fix something thats not broke?...

[$partacus]

you said pac's bigger in most of the measurements,do you deny sayin this?i don't think you would..

That's what i just said in the post you quoted
Pacquiao is bigger in measurements and Hatton is heavier, i never stated that Pac was bigger than Hatton.

im not denying the fact that ricky is bigger.i was responding to what alcoholic said ,him being sick about people saying pac is so small.go back and you'll see what im talking about !

But what he said about the fact he started at Flyweight being irrelevant is perfectly true, it is irrelevant. That was my point. I don't think you can have read my previous post properly. Pac is either a natural Jnr Welterweight or a natural Lightweight now, and we'll find out which on fight night.

If Pac is now a natural Lightweight, then he's only slightly smaller than Hatton; and if he's now a natural Jnr Welterweight, then he isn't any smaller than Hatton. We won't know which he is until fight night, though.
