Mayweather Snr is going to lose Hatton this fight

[Weebler I]

They been talkin like the plan is for Hatton to outbox Pac. If that's true, then yea, Sr is gonna blow this fight for Hatton.

yeah, Snr seems obsessed with head movement and talks non-stop about not getting hit, the same damn **** that floyd is always talking about. I just hope he realises not every fighter can fight in that runaway style and I really can't see Ricky being able to.

I predict Pac is going to lump him up bad in the first couple of rounds.

There I said it.

I just watched a video on skysports.com and Mayweather and Hatton are talking about Hatton trying to outbox Pacquiao and not rushing in but standing off and using head movements and coming in at angles to avoid getting hit.

Put simply, IT's NOT GOING TO FCUKING WORK!

Hatton is not Floyd Mayweather Jnr and he's not going to be able to boxing in his style, Hatton has his own go-forward style and attempts to fcuk with that are only going to confuse him and get him hit.

A good example is the start of the Malinaggi fight, Hatton tried to outbox Malignaggi and ended up getting his face busted up by the end of Round 2, it was only when he went back to the old Ricky Hatton and starting really going for Paulie that he started making progress. Trouble is, he's not going to get 3 Rounds to find that out with Pacquiao, if Pac catches him a few times it could be fight over.

FM Snr is a massive gamble by Hatton and they should really have had another fight before the Pac fight to test things out. I think it's going to end in tears.

Thoughts?

Good call.

Not saying Hatton still had enough left in him to beat Pac "the old way", but the instructions Sr. sent him out to follow were always going to get him outboxed, "outspeeded", hit, hurt and KO'd. Because the level of fighter he was tangling with is technically above him and Hatton wasn't showing near enough improvement in the fundamentals Sr. was trying to instill and predicating the gameplan on.


Only thing I'd disagree with is that Hatton never fully regressed against Malignaggi, but maybe just upped the urgency after a round.

If Hatton had used Floyd Snr's game plan, he would have lasted a lot longer.

If Hatton had used Floyd Snr's game plan, he would have lasted a lot longer.

He tried, for 2 minutes. Then he got dropped.


Not a criticism of Floyd Sr., btw. He was never the right guy for Hatton.
