Comments Thread For: Hatton: I've Always Thought Mayweather Beats Pacquiao

[PennyAnd1]

I don't hate anybody stumpy..

"Hatton isn't the same since getting KO'd by Mayweather"

"Cotto is damaged goods"

Freddy Roach must be one of Floyd's ****in' hoes too.

What do you mean Hatton wasn't the same guy. Man, he had two fights after and made Malignaggi cry. If you want someone to blame for Hatton's destruction, blame Floyd Senior trying to teach an old dog new tricks. Hatton threw all of Senior's gameplan and started being himself again which is head on brawler thinking he can outmuscle a quicker Pac. Just face it, Hatton was no elite. Even another elite couldn't duplicate what Pac just did to Hatton. I'd like to see Floyd try.

As for Roach, Roach can only be good as long as his fighters' can execute his game plan. The reason he believed Pac will have a hard time against Floyd is because he's generalizing boxers rather than looking at styles makes fight. Roach has been wrong before too think JMM would go down against Pac 3. He even thought Pac was going to have a hard time against Cotto.

Floyd is no volume puncher like Marquez. Floyd hits & runs, mostly waiting. But his stance is not similar to JMM and Floyd has no uppercut. Floyd will be exposed i'm telling you. There's a reason why he hasn't signed the dotted lines, or when he had the chance to sign the dotted lines. Because he's no nimrod and he knows more than what his fans can comprehend.

Amen Ricky............ amen!!

People who like wild brawling and FIGHTING always pick Pacquiao. They probably also love MMA & UFC and probably WWE (nothing wrong with that, just saying). People who recognise boxing as sport or even a science know that Mayweather is one of the all time greats. Based purely on BOXING ABILITY only those who either don't know boxing or let their personal feelings toward him influence their thinking could say that he isn't outstanding.
My feeling is that Amir Khan never in a million years had a chance of beating Mayweather and his defeat last week only proved what most people already knew. Also I think Mayweather beats Pacquiao hands down, simply because Pacquiao is all aggression but if he can't hit you cleanly and blow you away he seems to run out of ideas (see all 3 Marquez fights and the Sugar Shane snoozefest) and who is better at avoiding punches and countering accurately than Floyd??

[WESS]

Yes *******s, everyone knows Hatton is a *****. It's why he fired his entire team after Mayweather sent him on a date with that whore of a ring post. He was never the same after that night..... He was used and abused and Pac loved himself that sloppy left overs...

We all know this....

[Dudley]

He would be the few who would know. i still want to know hat happened to the pac fight...i know it's an excuse but he said he had a bad training camp. :/

[sapaw]

I always knew Manny would **** Ricky up...I knew he was gonna get beat up, humiliated and not make it to the finish line....I knew that!!!....only thing that shocked me was how fast Manny seperated his soul and body....a lil' less than 6 minutes ....I ALWAYS thought Hatton was a extremely overrated.....just sayin!!

I dont think Hatton is overrated, his two lost came from top 2 dog in the sport and I think he can still beat those top 140lbs, too bad, he abused his body with drugs.

with his opinion, he is entitled to it but for the past years, it shows its not his forte.

[Point Maid]

ricky knows that when he faced pac he was one unhealthy cocain abusing alcoholic who didn't want to fight..the hatton who beat tszyu was the hatton who lost to mayweather..but we all know..pac fights leftovers when they're at their worst..nothing new..by the way..is pac still hiding in the filipines?? I bet his promoter is there to baby sit him and tell him what to do and what not to do

If that story suits you that's fine with me. *****s are entitled to their Mayweatheresque opinions.

But the fact is Hatton gave Floyd fits in the early rounds and it took Floyd what like 10 rounds to knock him out?

Manny did not even give Hatton the chance of seeing the 3rd round. He was flat on his back gasping for life.

How can Floyd survive Manny if Hatton gave him fits.

7. Exposes and completely shutout an old Mosley
8. an UD an underrated Marquez (I actually give it a Split decision, same as Oscar vs FLoyd)

all that while going up in weight!

You think Floyd is better than Pac with these info? LMAO. Yeah you've been sucking way too much of Floyd's d1ck that's for sure.

Let someone who knows boxing tell it like it is:

The biggest surprise in boxing is Pacquiao's ascent from Flyweight to Welterweight and rule boxing.

FAIL!!!! You cannot seriously be suggesting that Pacquiao looked better than Floyd against Marquez or Moseley???? Did you watch those fights?? To my eyes in his last 2 fights Pacquiao has looked slower, less energetic and his punches are CLEARLY lighter than we are used to seeing. Easy to see why Floyd Sr. is saying he looks like he is coming off the steds for the Mayweather fight.
I would also say it doesn't matter who did what against who as it's STYLES THAT MAKE FIGHTS. Pac doesn't do well against defensive counter punchers by his own, and freddy roach's admission.
You really see him taking Floyds defence apart??

Really, I wonder how Hatton can be a "cocain abusing alcoholic" while he's preparing for a match against Pacquiao. Oh, that's right! he is training in the MAYWEATHER camp!!! Where his coach is a crackhead.

[Mr. Invincible]

Hatton has said many times in the past when asked, that he felt Pacquiao would beat Mayweather.

I honestly can't remember him ever saying that directly.

[nickroc]

So you think Floyd fighting 5 guys in 5 years:

1. Split a decision of over Dela Hoya (Floyd should've lost)
2. took 10 rd to KO a fat Hatton in Floyd's weight (nearly got dropped in rd 2)
3. UD a fat Marquez (had his head snapped back in rd 4)
4. UD an old champ Mosley (nearly went down twice in rd 3)
5. and cheap shot a Victor

you think that resume makes him great over Pac

1. 9 rd KO Diaz (complete score shutout)
2. Retired an old Dela Hoya (something Floyd couldn't do)
3. Exposed Hatton for who he really is (something Floyd took to long to do)
4. Destroyed a Cotto (145lbs is not far from his previous weight 146lbs)
5. Make Clottey hide in a complete score shut out
6. Gives Margarito no more eye
7. Exposes and completely shutout an old Mosley
8. an UD an underrated Marquez (I actually give it a Split decision, same as Oscar vs FLoyd)

all that while going up in weight!

Those are your facts? Honestly, I like both guys and I just want the fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao to happen. I'll continue to hold out hope that it does happen; however, I've resigned myself to the fact that it won't. But let's look at your completely ridiculous arguments:

1. A split decision win over De La Hoya that you say Floyd should've lost. Turn off the sound to the ultra biased HBO crew and watch the fight again. It never should've been scored as closely as it was. Floyd clearly won the fight running away. As an aside to this fight and the De la Hoya Pacquiao fight De la Hoya dictated all the terms in the Mayweather fight, including weight; 154 lbs., ring size, gloves, etc. By the time De la Hoya fought Pacquiao, Pacquiao may not have dictated ALL the terms but he dictated weight; 147 lbs. De la Hoya was totally weight drained at 147 lbs.

2. Be honest with yourself about the Hatton Floyd fight. The Hatton that fought Mayweather was still the guy who beat Kostya Tszyu. Beyond that, Floyd picked him apart for the 9 rounds prior to KOing him. That's what Mayweather does. Did I like the Pacquiao Hatton fight? I loved it. But that's Manny's style. Two different styles, two different fights.

3. Floyd's UD over, as you say, a "fat" Marquez. What's the excuse for Marquez in the Pac 3 fight? Same weight class. Floyd had his head snapped back...yes he did. Pacquiao, and I scored the fight for him by 2 rounds, had his face completely mangled in their last fight!

4. A UD for Floyd over, again as you say, "old" champ Mosley. And then you say that Pacquiao exposed Mosley. No, no my friend. Floyd exposed Mosley. If there ever was a sloppy seconds in Pac's career it was Mosley.

5. A cheap shot to Victor Ortiz. This just proves how much you don't know boxing. Ref clearly and audibly yells "Let's Go!" Put your damn hands up Ortiz.

6. I liked the Clottey Pacquiao fight but Clottey shouldn't have ever been in there with Manny.

7. Pacquiao destroyed Cotto AFTER he had been destroyed by Margarito who, granted, DEFINITELY loaded his gloves against Cotto. Regardless of that cheater and his loaded gloves Cotto has never been the same since.

8. Gives Margarito no more eye. I loved that as much as anybody for two reasons. 1. I love Pacquiao; and 2. Margarito is a damn cheater who deserved that beat down. But let's not be ignorant. Margarito has been shot since Mosley beat his ass like he was his daddy.

I mean your arguments have been completely exposed. In the words of the great Ed Lover: "C'mon Son!"
