There’s Only One Manny Pacquiao

He doesn't have **** on pacman? Why did he out box him then? A few spontaneous knockdowns may have decided the winner but it didn't decide the better boxer. And if you followed boxing enough you would know that a close loss to someone else elevates his resumé when they both continue to win.Last edited by rick85; 05-03-2009, 01:52 PM.Comment

I have to say that was such an exciting fight for the 2 rounds it lasted! Had to catch it this morning as couldn't catch it last night but it was well worth the wait. I was disappointed in Hatton not showing any change from the Mayweather fight, and knew as soon as he came lumbering in and holding that he would eventually get knocked out, but not in round 2! Wow, just wow!Comment

For the young whippersnappers in here, boxing wasnt as big now as it was back then so we didnt get to experience the durans,leonards, ray robinsons, henry armstrongs etc., now we have our own boxing legend to appreciate.
Enjoy Manny Pacquiao while he lasts.
Hopefully those damn filipinos dont vote for him politically & he continues losing elections & he continues fighting.Comment

This was evidence that Pac was going to KO Hatton, his hands were low, and his chin has been rocked by Loscano and Malinagi, come on the two feather punching fighters. After Mayweather soften him up, Hatton was not the same fighter, I just hope that Mayweather vs Pac gets made. He was asked after the fight, but he never said Yes I will fight Mayweather. He hid behind with what ever my promoters bullcrap....... Roach, STFU, you just have one fighter that brings you glory, to your so called Great trainer..... Pac fight a fast and slick fighter like yourself to see where you really stand. He has a great promoter and your and exciting fighter, but come on who have you really beat, and pac fans don't give me this BS that he fought Morales and Barrera please....... Just my thoughts.... like always bring it on Pac fans.
pacman just fought the same guy as mayweather but at hattons best weight
so wtf with neg comments you should feel privledged that a fight of pacmans standard is in your era a guy who his rightfully a 6 weight world champ (4 weight lineal claim) and beat the best featherweightish era of all time maybe????
so a bit of respect would be nice instead of being a **** and slagging his record off, it takes a bigger man to give respect when he is not a fan of a fighter so dont be so biased and judged him on his fantastic destruction of hatton who many people including the experts had as a 50/50 fightComment

It's very strange, because he showed a lot more head movement than this in the Malignaggi fight, and also didn't move in such straight lines in that fight.
Also, both Hatton and Floyd Snr had said repeatedly that Hatton was showing a lot more head movement, and a lot more lateral foot movement, in sparring for this fight, than he had shown in the Malignaggi fight, and both said he would do both against Pacquiao: instead of which he barely moved his head at all, and moved in such straight lines that you could have tracked his movement with a ruler.
So what really went on in his training camp? Did Floyd and Hatton intentionally try to con the public into thinking he was improving in those departments when he wasn't? Or did his game plan go out the window as a result of him freezing up on the night? Your post indicates a con rather than a freeze, but it's very strange.
It was a fabulous performance by Pacquiao, and also by Roach, whose game plan was absolutely brilliant: but Hatton did play straight into Manny's hands with his complete lack of any head movement, by moving forward in straight lines - and also by keeping his hands lower than usual, and his chin unprotected.Comment
