Mayweather SR. ''He punches like an amateur.''

[Burner]

Pac has an exciting style but he does lunge in and reach with his punches and leaves himself wide open..compare to a master like Floyd or JMM he punches very ameturish.

[Benny Leonard]

Mayweather's right. Pacquiao does punch like an amateur. But then again so does Hatton. He even said himself that Hatton almost knocked his ass out the 1st time cuz he didnt know how to hit pads.

I remember that. He was probably thinking, "****, I have a lot of work to do."

Hatton has gotten better on the pads though. He seems to be a quick learning like Sr. has said.

Yeah, which is why JMM was able to counter him properly.

But, I think basing it off of the last two fights, Pac has gotten better. Even the jab in the Diaz fight was quite nice as well as his right-hook.

We'll see what happens if Hatton applies heavy pressure instead of allowing Pac to dictate the fight like he did against Diaz and ODLH.

His head-movement has even gotten better compared to what it was...which I thought was very stiff movement.

But both attributes compared to some ATG fighters with their ability in each department, which Floyd may be comparing, it's not on their level. It doesn't compare to someone like his son.

Quick learner my ass. Every clip i see of hatton hitting pads on 24/7 it's always the same combination over and over. I'm not impressed seeing hatton do 1 combination really well seeing as he's been learning it since the start of the malignaggi fight camp.

If i see him do a variety of routines and they all look that crisp...then i'll be impressed.

Makes me excited to think about it, I reckon Hatton will stand off for a while though. If he does go full on it will be over early one way or the other.

floyd's just talking out his ass

[KRITKL]

I think it depends on who we are comparing Pac to when talking about head-movement and punching technique. Floyd has high standards.

He's far from the best. People have been saying this stuff for years about him yet no one has been able to do anything about it. Speed kills..the only one who did was Morales but that was a less skilled Pac, JMM came close, if only he could stop getting KD.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

should be an easy night for ricky then....if he doesnt dispatch that 'amateur' in 3 rounds, i will be disappointed

[cuzfozzy]

pacquaio is a multi divison champion , and how many belts has mayweather snr won ?

[krispy kreme]

He is just talking trash, hopefully Manny and Roach make both Senior and Hatton each their words.
