I get the impression from the 24/7 shows that roach really doesnt see anything different in the way hatton is under mayweather.
He said in a conversation with michael moorer " nothing is different, its the same ricky hatton"
They are wrong, first of all what i saw hatton do more was head movement against malignaggi I dont know how many times paulie tried to throw a jab and constantly missed, ricky looked so much fitter and faster and was a real match in speed for the fast mallignaggi.
Another thing I noticed was Ricky wasnt coming in straight lines at Paulie, he was going to the side creating more angles which is better than what he did before that under Billy graham just bulldozing forward in straight lines and being so easy to hit.
Roach is also underestimating Hattons body punching its vicious and I dont know if pac will stand up to his body shots.
What Roach is also underestimating is just how strong Ricky is at this weight, and if Roach goes and points at the de la hoya fight and says "there you go manny can deal up at those weights etc and with a stronger man" lets not forget that roach himself said after that fight that de la hoya was dead on his feet and looked awful.
It will be a different animal Pac will face saturday night, Ricky hatton is not washed up, is not dead at the weight, and more importantly ricky will not stand there like a human punchbag for manny.
I like manny pacquiao I think the guy is a great ambassador for the sport, a terrific fighter and a good man.
But this is Ricky Hattons weight class and come saturday I beleive he wins the fight.
I think we are in for a treat saturday night, I cant wait
