    No. We said "move your head"...not "slip punches".

    Big difference. Do you KNOW the difference?

        i've stated a few times since sat night that i think he did try to move his head, but Pac was just too fast and too good. he got his timing all wrong, and panicked and resorted to the same old Hatton when he was getting caught. It was almost like he thought, "F.uck it, he catching me when I move my head, why bother doing it at all".

          I'm being very serious.

          You are saying that moving your head is hard against the fastest yadda yadda.

          Moving your head has nothing to do with the other fighter. Have you sparred? It is something you do. Just like holding your hands up.

          Now if you said that he couldn't slip the punches, i would agree with you. Slipping is dependent on the other guy's speed.

            Thing is, Mayweather Sr. was telling Hatton to move his head when they were working together on the bag...and I saw zero head movement. I was thinking - "Sr. doesn't appear to be chiding him in front of the cameras. I wonder if he says anything to Ricky about that when the cameras are off? He must do, surely."

                    No, mostly because he panicked and went back to the same old style. I mean it don't really matter the speed of your opponent, you always have the ability to move it. I've sparred against fast guys back when I was 17 and that dint provoke me from bobbing my head and timing them. Hatton was just panicked..IMO
