Honestly, Did Hatton and Mayweather Sr. had any game plan going into the PAC fight?!

    That's not Hatton.
    Hatton fought Pacquiao with the only style he knows .
    And that **** ain't gonna work against any of the elites.
    It worked with Zoo. It worked for 6-7 rounds with Mayweather. Why was Hatton never in the fight with PAC?

        crackhead's game plan was to brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt.

        in hatton's defense, he couldn't understand it.

          It was, .."mmmm--mm-move your head, dont over puer hmm"

          who knows what kinda gameplan they really had. If it was a solid and clear gameplan, hatton wouldve been better in executing it. Sr probably just told him some basics like moving his head and keeping his gaurd him. To sr, that's chess

              OMG, Oscar said that too. Walking in he already lost due to weight. I'll be really surprised if Cotto follow suit...

                The fact that Floyd Sr showed up late numerous times during training camp tells ya that he didn't think Ricky had a chance. He just did it for the $$$$.

                  plan was to watch out for:

                  Right hook, roll under. Same move everytime.

                    It worked with Tszyu because Tszyu became a one-two punch kind of fighter...carefully setting up his right...the right that Hatton held on to during the fight and stayed close to Tszyu to prevent him from throwing. Throw in age, wear and tear, inactivity...Tszyu was finished by the mid-point. No longer an elite fighter like he once was...just buying time until he got knocked off.

                    Mayweather: I thought it was more choice in the way Floyd fought at this point. Besides him becoming a pot-shot artist and even throwing away his jab at this point compared to the past or even moving around but still throwing combos...Floyd just used Hatton's aggression against him...and in the end, used Hatton's tactics to destroy him mentally and physically.
                    That's why I've said in the past had this fight originally taken place at 140 when Floyd wanted it, Floyd would have taken Hatton part in quicker fashion.
                    Different game-plan by the time the fight ended up happening because he was a different fighter. Floyd's jab would have helped him for example...putting punches together like he used to would have helped...and so on...
                    On that same point, Ricky's best chance was actually to go back to his Pre-Tszyu self which he never did because he had his mind made up that he was the strongest and could bully fighters...something I think he picked up and felt high on after beating Tszyu (who was seen as the strongest in the division at one point).

                    Pac: Pac is a fighter that throws many punches with both hands...looks to go for the kill in every round with combinations, speed, agility, power, etc.
                    Different style from the others.
