Thoughts on may - pac after rewatching may hatton

[Mister Amazing.]

Hatton-PBF was marred by clinches. Hatton lacks the power, speed, and accuracy of Pac. he may have taken 2 rounds in that fight. I don't see PBF stopping Pac either.

that it was, and i agree with you about pac. hatton was trying to work when in a clinch but it was pretty ineffective and sloppy really. that an cortez didnt let him fight "his fight" but i dont think it wouldve mattered at all. i think pac be much more effective if in same situation, but he doesnt clinch like hatton

and 2 rounds only? man depends how you like to score a fight i suppose, and in that fight floyd just threw 1 punch at a time for the most part, i myself like to see combinations. mayweather just liked to throw the single right hand cause it was landing but he was content with just that

If he tries to potshot with pacquiao i just dont think its gonna be enough to bank rounds with pac going a million miles an hour at him.

I watched that round 4 koboy and mayweather took over for the second half of the round definetly, i didnt think may kept it up the next couple rounds though. i dont know why cause he seemed to be pretty effective when on the attack, i dont know why he waited til round 8 to do it again.

I think Rd 4 was a gauge round for PBF just to see where Hatton is at physically and mentally. After RD 4, he was probably devising the best way to defeat Hatton. I think he might have taken Rd 5 and on just to give Hatton the confidence back so that he would attack, which would be perfect for the "check hook" which was the punch that knocked Hatton down the first time, and incidentally, PBF was throwing the whole fight.

Although PBF sometimes takes rounds off, I think it's all part of his gameplan to keep his opponents guessing or merely to pace himself. I also believe that he doesn't fight round by round like alot of fighters, but he strategizes and adjusts the whole fight. If he took rounds off, there is a reason behind it.

2 different styles,Hatton likes to hold and shove alot while Pacquiao just comes in and throw fast awkard punches in bunches.Mayweather can Neutralize the punches in bunches by Holding to keep himself from being out worked in the corners.


And i noticed in the Cotto fight with Pac that Pac had problems cutting the ring off at times.Floyd has way faster footwork then Cotto.

Pac has poor defense and i think that`s one of the many things that`s gonna be his undoing if he fights Floyd.

some really good points here, you've changed my mind

i mustve mistaken hattons pressure for making mayweather look bad rather than the "hold and shove" style

I noticed that in the cotto fight aswell, mayweather didnt use lateral movement in the hatton fight until the last few rounds though, he seemed to like to go backwards.

If floyd can be aggressive with his counters against pac hes got it for sure, but floyd seems to be content throwing one at a time. take the ODLH fight for example, he was potshotting all night and that was scored pretty close amongst the judges. he better not do that against pac, pacs a busy fighter and if floyds not doing much pac will just bank those rounds by default almost with just workrate.
