Floyd Mayweather Sr. Reveals Ricky Hatton's Strategy

[BMWM3P]

Hatton won't be able to stop Manny's left, he's going to get busted up and KTFO.

[TKO Tom]

I think Manny will win. The fight will be close and competitive early on and Manny will have some anxious moments. But think he begins to pull away around the mid-point of the fight. My feeling is that Manny stops Ricky somewhere around the 10th.

I thought Floyd Sr. couldn't operate a VCR.

He probably pressed fast REWIND and so Manny going backwards.

The question is whose jab will get there first. Because of his short arms, Ricky throws the jab coming forward without any head movement while Manny throws his with a side step to the right. If they throw at the same time, whose jab do you think will connect? Think about it.

i agree he has been vulnerable to lefts in the past hopefully him and floyd worked on that and im pretty sure that hes got a little bit better than a punchers chance...plus you got the words wrong to the song it goes like this...THERES ONLY ONE RICKY HATTON, ONE RICKY HATTON, WALKIN ALONG, SINGIN' A SONG, WALKIN IN A HATTON WONDERLAND!!!!

still you didn't get it ryt mate. here's the correct one!

THERES ONLY ONE RICKY HATTON, ONE RICKY HATTON, DREAMIN ALONG, SINGIN' A SONG, SLEEPIN IN A HATTON WONDERLAND!!!!:

dont worry about that hatton can take punches..he took tszyu's punches..manny doesnt hit hard as kostya no way.

pacquiao doesn't hit as hard as mayorga or vargas anyways. look at the delahoya fight. your argument is flawed

[Nesty]

As many others have noted, Mayweather did not discover those habits of the Pacman.... anyone that is a fan of the sport have noticed them at one time or the other. Mayweather's test will be to prepare Ricky to take advantage of them while not letting the Pacman exploit those many bad habits that Ricky has (square up, come inside without a jab, etc.)

I'm interested to see how many reacts to the preassure that Ricky will bring, if in fact Mayweather has instilled in Ricky the use of head movement and double jab, how Ricky will fare against the right hook and straigth left, and if Ricky will be able to understand Mayweather with out a transalator...lol

It's going to be a good fight, as far as I'm concern it will be Pacman's first test above 135 - ODL was too dehydrated and only showed us glympese of what the Pacman can do.

I can't wait.... I see a late stoppage due to cuts on Hatton. I just see the Pacman using his legas and quickness to land his cannon of a left hand everytime Hatton gives him enough space.

[Kaffa]

I got manny by stoppage due to cuts as well.

no one is sleeping on hatton, he's got a puncher's chance, but remember one thing, that check left hook that Floyd Jr knock Ricky with is not as hard as the short left hook or left straight that Manny is going to unleash. Ricky seems vulnerable to left punches. With that said, Ricky needs to wrestle Manny in order to beat him, if he boxes with Manny he will be owned. There only one MANNY PACQUIAO, ONE MANNY PACQUIAO

That's what is going to be the down fall of Manny. The fact that people
keep thinking Manny is going to do to Hatton what Floyd Jr did or that
Hatton is going to fight as reckless as he did with Floyd Jr. There's no
way that Manny Pacquiao at 140 hits harder then a Floyd Mayweather Jr
at 147. Manny has decent power but is not that devastating of a puncher
as everyone keep making him out to be. Manny's damage is done by
accumalation. I think Hatton will surprise both Manny and Roach. I
see Floyd Sr's plan going down Saturday. Only a few more days!
Man I can't wait!!!

I just hope that there would be a KNOCKDOWN on this hatton vs pacman fight.
I dont wanna see a 12 rounds decision like in pacman vs. marquez. Im sick and
tired of this bullsheyt excuses by the boxer or trainer when they lose a fight.

I cant wait for floyd senior to make a statement to the press if his boy hatton lose this fight... he probably would blame hatton himself. hahaha...

[GRUSTLER]

How I look at it is........Ricky Hatton has been tested by heavier hitters
at 140 and 147 Manny hasn't......There is a possibility that Ricky laughs
at Manny when he hits him. I'm reading a lot of posts about this fight
and it just baffles me that people really think Manny is going to come
to 140 (Ricky's division) and make him look like he has never fought there?
He has never lost there. Ricky is going to hunt and back Manny down.
Manny's fast but Ricky has speed as well and applies constant pressure.
This fight will boil down to who can take the most pressure & punches.
Manny dominated Diaz and De La Hoya and I think a lot of people are
going by that to pick him over Hatton or Hatton's performance against
Floyd Jr.

We have yet to see how Pacquiao can handle the elite prime fighters
in higher weight classes. My thing is that I don't view Manny as a
technical guy & I think Marquez showed who were the most technical
of the two, Manny is a fighter that over whelms his opponents
with speed and punches, Hatton is a live wire and knows how to close
the gap and cut the ring off. I believe Manny will not be teeing off on
Hatton and getting out of the way, Manny is going to have to stand
and fight, mark my words.

If you look at the 2nd 24/7 all Roach and Moore did was base there prediction on the fact that Hatton might grab but in the Malignaggi
fight he didn't hold at all and boxed way better than he did prior.
My opinion is that Roach really doesn't know what to expect, he
even said that he hasn't really seen any flaws. I totally feel that
Ricky has the element of surprise on his side and if he fights smart
he will beat Manny on Saturday.
