Trust me! compared to what I just seen with cotto pac, in comparison if mayweather has his way itll be boring. but if pac has his way its a different story

[yeng4life]

I believe everything Ricky Hatton says now.

From David Diaz to Cotto they always says, "Pacquiao will lose!" hahahahaha but it's always the other way around.

[bray26]

Difference is FMJ will have a 5" reach and a 2" height advantage. Cotto doesn't know how to give ground and still remain effective. See he won't have to keep PAC off because he will give ground and still be able to hit PAC because of the reach advantage that Cotto didn't have. Boxing 101

I took that into consideration! His reach is a major advantage but for it to be an advantage he has to use it! I think he'll be perfectly content to counter punch but that actual benefits manny because floyd's jab would not be keeping him on the outside of that reach! That goes back to what I said, floyd's activity in the fight and his willingness to let his hands go r the key to
the fight! He is defense first not punch first so again what good is the reach advantage if he doesn't use it?Not only that but Floyd has spent time on the ropes against Oscar and hatton allowing both to get inside and t off! They just couldn't deliver, Manny just may be able too! That's what makes it interesting at least to me! Floyd will also for the first time in forever someone with handspeed close to his own! And again his reach advantage will not come into play if he hesitates to pull the trigger!

Hatton: Mayweather is so good defensively. Mayweather is so good, he doesn't let you get any punches off.

so you think he can do this on pac?

[GG Marquez]

It's all over the news 50-50 but....

No response of Floyd. WTF! He's pricing himself out already.

Talk is cheap.

Quark,

You know that contracts aren't written on a napkin. Right?

Again, it took WEEKS for Pac to negotiate the DLH, Hatton and Cotto fights. If I remember correctly (and I do) the negotiations between Pac and Cotto went back and forth. AND THOSE GUYS HAVE THE SAME PROMOTER.

But somehow, the Mayweather fight should have been finalized in four business days becasue you read a Roach quote.

good post! I agree if he combines an exellent defence with lots of combinations he'll take some beating

oscar was taller and had all the advantages as far as reach, height , and weight. as far as hatton goes it was his style to rush in and fight inside. that is not mannys style. hes not gonna get inside on mayweather. that doesnt help him at all. hes gonna try and force mayweather into exchanges and try to land power shots. mayweather sr being back with floyd has helped him with his jab and his defense. cotto was able to land his jab and i expect floyd to land his too.

Hatton just said he was wrong about picking Cotto, then he makes another prediction.


And when did Hatton ever fight Manny? It looked like Hatton was just there to get punched

yeah, some people really never learn, the only thing hatton's good at picking is his nose.

same move everytime
