Pacquiao should RUSH Mayweather, ala Hagler when he fought HEARNS

[AKM]

RIcky hatton bum rushed PBF in RD10 of their fight and look what happened? He got caught with a check hook and never recovered fully. Obviously Pac has a better chin but that will not be smart at all. Pac has a better chance working the body and working PBF in the ropes. Pac has speed he can set up traps without trying to go for the kill early on.

Not just in 10th rnd. He was rushing the whole fight.

He HAS to outwork in my opinion, No other choice.

De La Hoya was stationary though. He was very big and lumbering compared the extremely swift Pacquiao.

Pacquiao isnt gonna be able to do that in and out bull**** against Mayweather.

Its either stay out of reach, or stay close enough to him that he cant potshot pacquiao with that straight right.

Pacquiao has to take risks IMO. ANd he has the balls to do it. He has to risk eating some massive counter left hooks to try to work that body and wear him down.

maywather has an outstanding chin, but i strong believe Pacquiao has the speed and power to knock Mayweather out. No doubt about it. But it goes both ways.

Great Post man...

He was also getting potshot the whole fight, mayweather gave him too much respect early on, and i think would have finished him earlier on if he had just stepped it up.

you are just giving Mayweather to much credit. Early on, Ricky was fresh and could take Floyds best shots. He ate them for 10 rounds and was so spent by the 10th that he just ran into a shot he didn't see coming.

there is no "Mayweather gave him to much respect" part. Floyd was tagging him right from round one only Ricky was walking right through it. That fight Floyd was dominating, but it just looked like it was very hard for Floyd to do because of Ricky's strength.

sometimes I forget that not everyone knows about the video trading block, where you can download the fight and watch it many times over.

I have the fight on DVD as i do all of mayweather fights. If you notice in the corner his own team said you dont have to run from him you can fight him inside, mayweather was being selective and careful. There are plenty of PBF fights where is much more offensive than the Hatton fight. Luis Collazo has FAR less power than PBF and even he almost KOD Hatton at the end of their fight. In fact, I thought Collazo deserved at minimum a draw as he easily had a 10-8 fight in RD 12. In addition, after RD8 even Joe Cortez was thinking about stopping the fight. PBF started to really step it up in the middle of the fight. He was more on the defensive early on with selective offense.

Hatton is not that strong at 147. Here is a fact: Judah, Baldomir, Marquez, and DLH at 154 all lasted the distance against PBF, but Hatton was KOD.
