Comments Thread For: Hatton Wonders if He Should Have Had Pacquiao Tested

[Jamel H]

LOL Hatton's just bitter because he didnt even last 2 full rounds... smh, those shots Manny hit him with were right on the button point blank

[Ray*]

He knew Pac would refuse the random blood tests because the stipulation that they could withdraw blood up to the day of the fight. If you saw the Pac interview he had after his first fight with Morales, then you would see that Pacquiao has a thing against having blood taken from him close to a fight. I'm not trying to say that it's a valid excuse for Pacquiao, I'm just answering the question.

As for Ricky Hatton, he should just keep his self promoting ass quiet and go quietly into the night like his career. Pacquiao embarrassed him pretty badly with that KO and he should just leave it at that.

You not making excuses for Pacquiao? But you know Mayweather knew Pacquiao would refuse blood test because he somehow saw a youtube tape of Pacquaio saying he lost to Morales because of blood drawn from him in that fight?

Firstly, the youtube video you were referring to was made 6 months ago when all the problem came out over a test, Secondly you really think Mayweather would spend his time trying to find a video of Pacquiao in reference to a blood test?

You making nothing but excuses here, Everyone knows he only ask for a blood test because he thinks Pacquiao is on something i thought that was clear from the beginning.

Without a drug test Pac legacy will be tainted like Barry Bonds a man who never failed a drug test but the public convicted him of doing so Pac is on thin ice now people with good common sense say if you are clean take the test and clear your name which he has failed to do so far

Common misconception. To say that Bonds never tested positive is misleading and not true. Prior to 2006, all MLB tests are confidential. He could've tested positive prior to 2006 but it cannot be made public. When MLB came up with a better drug policy in 2006, Bonds tested positive for amphetamines that same year.

Wow! Steroids?!?"

its not that they're dumb.. its people like you who don't know anything..

Surprised, Pacquiao hasn't come in over a buck fifty with all that PED's in his system.

[StarRican]

ok..why did pac ask for 145?......pac actually asked for 143 and cotto said **** no, i want 145, that is why he agreed...my turn why did cotto agree to fight at catchweight?.........

You STILL haven't answered the question. Let me say it one more time. If pac asked for 145 because he couldn't make 147...then why did he come in at 149 on fight night? I'm just asking, because that's what I saw the poster put up. That's what I asked him and since you got in it then you could possibly answer that question, which you haven't done twice already.

If you can't answer then you shouldn't have stepped into the convo.

Intense workouts that cause massive calorie loss had stopped and he was basically just sitting around and not burning off whatever he ate and drank that day.

It common ***ing sense for christ sake!!!

Because regular WW weigh in at 147 and re-hydrate to 155-160 at fight time. Cotto has a bigger frame and, as you saw in last weekend's fight, can carry 160 lbs. easy. Manny's fighting weight tops out at 150. By making Cotto weigh in at 145, he can re-hydrate back to around 155 max. Even Hatton, who weighed in at 140 vs. Pacman, was at 152 during fight time and is now at 200.

[Vito Corleone]

I didn't ask about other threads. I asked about what "YOU" think why Manny is using something. What's your personal opinion. I want to know what basis you have for thinking that he is "using something."

But since I'm still waiting on Talon's answer. Maybe you can answer for him.

????????????????????

I can't and won't answer "for" somebody else. But i will gladly provide you with an answer via PM.

Thanks.

HA!!! Come on Ricky. Mister I walk right into every punch a fighter throws at me Hatton.

Speaking with The National, former two division champion Ricky Hatton wonders if he should have made the same random drug testing demands as Floyd Mayweather Jr., prior to last May's two round KO loss to Manny Pacquiao. [Click Here To Read More]

Hatton should be careful pointing out that "Paq got knocked down by a little man" referring to JMM. I feel JMM could beat down and maybe knock out Hatton, long layoff or no long layoff. Always liked Hatton, but it sounds like he is trying to say he is a better fighter than JMM, I dont think so.
