Floyd Mayweather Sr. Reveals Ricky Hatton's Strategy

[Tankster]

Once hatton felt pacquiaos power all the strategies are out of the window. That said Manny by TKO 7.

[P4P Opinion]

I'm not sure if Hatton will be able to get Pacquiao onto the ropes, so I'm not sure the gameplan will work. Either way, as Samurai noted, Pacquiao hasn't shown any problems against bodypunchers since the very early days.

I think this will be a closer fight than most believe, although I still have Pacquiao winning - but on points, rather than the stoppage many seem to be expecting. I'm looking forward to it.

Everybody have a Plan till they get hit.

Watch after Pac makes hatton eat a couple of combos, hatton wi do his usual rush in recklesly!!!!!

Yeah... but some guys get hit, and still stay with the plan. Examples?

Carl Froch vs jermain taylor

Floyd Mayweather vs Zab Judah.

Has anyone considered that Lazcano was an ex-featherweight and he had Hatton on ***** street in round 7/8 ? (in regards to people saying Pac might not even hurt Hatton).

[QUISQUEYA]

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

Please refer me to the fights/rounds where Manny had a good left hook. Because I have never really considered a left hook as the better part of Manny's arsenal.

Also, please realize that it's not always the power of the punches. It is the timing or accuracy. Especially when you don't see it. That's what was happening to Ricky. That is why Mayweather's punches were buckling Ricky, but Tszyu's didn't.

hatton will get hurt, and so will pac....i actually think both these guys will take a punch well

Hatton will not adjust

It's only their second fight together, but Floyd Mayweather, Sr. and Ricky Hatton believe they have formulated a plan of attack that will see them unseat Manny Pacquiao from his pound-for-pound throne on Saturday night at the MGM Grand. [details]

everyone has a plan till they get hit

[Shadow boxer 3]

what upset? this fight to me is pretty even, both fighters are about the same in their amount of battles, Manny is two yrs older than Ricky. They are fighting in Ricky's weight. The only reason the odds is a slight favor to Pacquiao is because of his latest wins and the pound 4 pound title that he holds. If Ricky wins, I won't be surprise, I'm excited and nervous for Manny as always, but unlike bum bum baustista, he's got the heart of a champion.

they're both 30 yrs old. but manny turned pro before hatton

Hatton will not adjust

No, sir. I'm not talking about adjusting. I'm talking about having some rough moments and sticking with the original gameplan.

Carl Froch got KD'd, and still stuck with what he wanted to do.

Tim Bradley got socked silly, and kept on the pressure.

Floyd ate some Zab lefts, and kept stepping forward and digging to the body.

If Hatton can get past a couple of pretty left hands by Pac, then he will have the confidence to go forward, and Pac will know that he's not fighting yet another aging featherweight or anorexic transvestite.
