LMAO... I hate say this about a World Champion...

You can dig Eddy Futch out of the grave and Ricky Hatton will still fight like that.

He just ain't that good.

roach was able to prepare manny

sr. failed, plain and simple




lolz @ the AV, jr

[nujabes77]

if he comes to the gym an hour late and smells like taco sauce, get rid of him asap

not really unless he does it everyday

[Weebler I]

Roach was saying more after that, but HBO edited it out. He's right though, Hatton wasn't good that night at all but you're only as good as your opponent lets you be and Pac deserves the praise.

[George W Bush]

Ricky Hatton is at least better than Juan Diaz, judging by their fights with Mags. Maybe by world class standards he's "not that good" but people are going on like he's total **** and that's a bit far.

But he wasn't that good (Roach on Ricky Hatton). Will Freddy say the same thing about Cotto during the Pacquiao vs Mayweather 24/7?

damn mexicans , another thread to try to get people to talk **** about cotto. Margarito te tiene atragantado , ur prob praying to god cotto loses , so like that ur mexican heroes wont look that bad.

[Still Pimpin]

Keep it real !!!

Hatton sucks at the art of boxing and always has. The thing with Hatton is he was more than capable of knockin your ass out.

Roach is tellin the truth, Hatton ****** before and after the Mayweather fight let alone the Pac fight. Hatton don't bob or weave, his jab is wack if he has one, and he's easily frustrated.

It's the whole Tyson thing all over again. Tyson, Hatton, and Trinidad were crazy 1 dimensional.

what makes you think pacquiao gonna win?

[Spray_resistant]

Him saying that about Hatton doesn't make Pac's win look so great does it? It would be smart to build Hatton up because if he is not that good Pac is now going into probably the toughest fight he will have ever had off of a win over a "not that good" fighter and a shot passed his prime drained one......that should make Pac's fans real confident................oh but wait he is ranked p4p #1 so its all good.

[The Gambler1981]

What got me when he said that was what he said right after. He was talking about how proud he was of Manny and himself for that night. I am not saying he should not be proud but if he is saying the guy he was fighting was not that good what is there to be that proud of.

It is the old Chris Rock thing he did what he was supposed to do to an overmatched foe.

It just struck me as odd for him to **** on Hatton in one breathe then talk about how proud he was of that victory.

[shogunn]

Actually, Roach has said this before they fought.

Roach: hatton/manny pre-fight.

"Ricky hattons strengths, he has none"

"we should take care of him in 3"

but...This is Roach comparing Hatton to Manny. I think if he was comparing him to another boxer he wouldnt have said the same.
