Is freddie roach underestimating Hatton??

[mathed]

roach underestimates any1 against him he thinks hes the best trainer and all his fighters r invincible. it showed last week that he has no plan b when his fighters struggle in the ring

To be fair, Pendalosa was brave and fought a good fight but Juanma keeps throwing and throwing and throwing....tough for anyone to beat him.

The body work from Hatton is the only thing I can see helping him in this fight, he has to crush the body to slow him down a bit. I am sure that Roach has noticed this and they have worked on some ways to protect the body or to get out of danger. There is no way that Pacman stands there so Hatton will be chasing him all over. Power-wise, Hatton takes it but he has to hit him first. I think it will be close initially but as the fight wears on, Hatton loses that little bit of stamina and speed and then Pac starts to run away with it.

I agree that Hatton's body attack is sick and he should not attempt to outbox Pac or catch a severe beating. He needs to tie up and rough up pacman to have a chance. He can try to time Pacquiao but I think he will be the guy getting timed.

Great fight for sure though!!

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

I believe Roach is trying to get into Hatton's head by saying all these things. Roach is not the kind of person to really underestimate a legitmate opponent like Hatton. And to my opinion it has worked. Hatton has been quoted multiple times refuting what Roach said and did and it seems to be getting to him a little bit.

roach and mayweather sr are doing what they've always been doing. usually, freddie is calm and confident and laughs most trash talk off. in this case he's firing back a bit more due to the amount of trash mayweather has been dishing out. afterall, manny is his baby.
