Ricky Hatton Massive Interview Transcript on Pacquiao

[Dave Rado]

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

It was broke in that fight, because he was very lucky to get the decision; and if he could have won that fight more decisively than he did, by changing his game plan, he certainly would have done.

[mathed]

Hatton will ose badly and Mayweather Sr. will look like a fool, JMO!!

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.

i don't deny any of this!i know fo a fact that pac is pretty small at 147or even 140.alcoholic is actually saying that ricky is not much bigger than pac based on the weight theyre fighting at now which is not what hatton is claiming to be.so it' is like oxymoron to me based on what 2 people said.i think theres a little confusion on each one of us!

Keyword in that sentence is FORMER he hasn't been a flyweight for a long time. He's bigger than Hatton in most measurements, and Hatton weighs about 5lbs more on fight night. I sick of people making Pacquiao out to be tiny when he isn't, apart from the DLH fight he moved through the weight classes because he had to and apart from the Diaz fight as weighed more on fight night than his opponents in his recent fights. It's fantastic that he started at lower weights and moved up winning titles, but Pac fans make it out like he still is a flyweight fighting much bigger guys but in reality he isn't.

i can see what u are getting at sir... the tale of the tape is there, i can see it...

but fighters are not classified by their tape measurements man... they are classified by their fighting weights...

thats why ricky is so confident in this fight saying he is the bigger man...

the tale of tape may be closer as u have suggested but can MP carry the power up to 140? can he take the blows given by a legit 140?

i know erik morales cannot carry his power @ 130 and he is naturally bigger than MP...

i did'nt expect this from you claiming that pac won the fight by luck!his fight just looked broke because he was fighting one of the best,ther' was nothing he could've done better at that time ,in that posititon!but if anybody would look at it now,there'll be few things he would've done!

[nasty101]

looks like both fighters are 200% ready for an all out war come fight night. 'excuses' after the fight is not an excuse

[street bully]

good to know hatton is in the best mental and physical condition in his boxing career...


going to be the greatest fight of all time...

Your a ****ing idiot if you believe that.

Manny's power at 140 & how he handles the weight will all be told on may 2.

But take into account the david diaz fight that everybody ****s on,

david diaz is a former 140 pounder who has fought fights at 147, he went 8 rounds before getting ko'd by kendall holt who is one of the biggest 140 pound hitters, & beat a young & ultra talented zab judah in the olympic trials.

Add the oscar fight ( i know, i know) no matter how bad oscar looked, manny's punching power put a dent in oscar's pretty face & tko'd him. He's a career welter & junior middleweight.

Ive seen videos of manny sparring w/ vanes martirosyan, a future 154 pound title contender, he more than held his own. He's sparring w/ mike alvarado 25-0, 18 kos, a big junior welter.

U guys can wait for verification on may 2,

i wont brah.

Just shut the **** up ricky, you talk too much. Let your fists do the talking. Ricky thinks his this and that ahhh bull****. You're goin down.

All I meant by luck was that the fight was too close to call, and in that situation where a fight is that close, whoever wins is very lucky to get the decision, because a different set of three judges could easily have scored it the other way - and especially so in this case, where a majority of boxing experts scored it the other way (although there were also quite a few who thought Pacquiao just deserved to sc**** through because of the knock down).

And I'm not saying there's anything obvious that he could have done differently, just that if he'd had a plan B, then he'd certainly have used it, because I'm sure he'd have wanted to win a lot more decisively than he did.
