Pacman is done...He cant fight going backwards Sr. nailed it.

[HandSpeed303]

Its pure hype. They said it for the dela hoya and diaz fight. But many moved well in all of those fights.

Yes he did.

[- JCHING -]

If that means he will try and ease his way in, he is really done for....

The last part of your statement is not true at all...The Marquez knock down(in the thrird fight), and the Diaz ko, were both some of the shortest straight lefts I have seen.....So no, Manny does not need that much space.

Ricky will not try and ease his way in, just use more head movement, feints, etc, on the way in.

Diaz went down after being pummled to the head the entire fight. He didn't exactly need a full blown KO punch to go down when he did.

The JMM knockdowns were more flash knockdowns - hence the reason JMM came back to almost win both fights..

You don't go backwards if you're going sideways, just sayin'..

Once again, thank you(the rest of this post is not directed at you).

I see alot of folks are going by what Floyds dad has to say. Bad idea.

Manny doesn't really ever go straight back anymore...Most of you know this though, I guess you just go off what Floyds dad has to say, right?

That has nothing to do with the point I was making about short punches...What you just wrote, sound more like excuses...

You said he needs space for power, or good shots, I just proved he doesn't.

850,000....that's a whole lot of points to lose on one fight woot-woot!!

jching: I can see where this will go, and really, I don't have the time for it.

So, if you think Hatton will win, GREAT!

I happen to think that Manny is going to smash Hatton.

I just proved that he does.

His KO with a short ranged punch against Diaz didn't need to be that powerful to KO him, as he had been taking soo much punishment up to that point.

The knockdown against JMM was more of a flash knockdown, and if it had so much power in it, why did JMM recover so well and nearly win the fight?

For his major power shots, Manny needs time and space, and to be on his front foot. Things he won't be able to do against Ricky..

Yea, we'll see on Saturday night.

I believe Manny will be KTFO and won't know what hit him.

who cares, manny's not going to be backing up the whole fight. He hasn't hesitated to go toe to toe with other hard punchers in his previous fights.

And more importantly, Ricky can't fight worth **** going backwards either. Sooner or later Pac's going to hurt him - and we all saw how Ricky copes when he gets hurt (Collazo, Mayweather, etc.), he doesn't cope well at all.

Sr. is delusional if he thinks Ricky's going to win by boxing. The only way Hatton beats Pac is if he goes with his old tactics, which is maul/hold/hug/wrestle the **** out of Pac, just like he did to Kostya.

Try to be slick and outbox Pac isn't going to work.

this is so true........i like pac but hes going down......
