Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?

Hatton might as well just give up now, eh?

Pacquiao has never faced anyone as large, explosive with a bull like brawler style that Hatton possess. Theres a good chance there will be an upset.

That said my money is on Manny because it will spoil future fights for sure

Do you think so?? ... Hatton can't back out anymore, he already signed the fight contract... Too late...

He can manufacture some injury though...

It has been a way of life in the USA, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Europe, etc. And these countries keep producing boxing legends all the time. Who knows, maybe Pac is opening the door or maybe he'll retire along the road and boxing won't be heard of once again in the Phils, we'll see.

Exposure, exposure, exposure.

Philippines is not that bad considering it's 10,000 miles away from a boxing mainstream (USA).

Latest update:

“Phenomenal” is the only word conditioning expert Alex Ariza and the handful of those present at the Wild Card Gym Wednesday could use to describe Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao’s performance in doing 15 rounds non-stop on the punch mitts. Ariza said Pacquiao didn’t even take a break for a sip of water.

He said trainer Freddie Roach couldn’t take the extended punch-mitts session any longer. Ariza described the workout as “unbelievable man, not even a sip of water and Freddie finally said I quit.”

What was even more amazing is that Pacquiao “did five-and-a-half miles of mountain running with only his pet dog “Pacman” able to keep pace with Manny as everybody else turned around and started running back downhill, including myself” said Ariza.

The initial plan was to do ten rounds on the punch-mitts but Pacquiao increased it to twelve and then pushed Roach to go fifteen.

Pacquiao followed up his explosive punch-mitts performance with his usual routine of shadow boxing, working the heavy bag and the double-end speed ball among others."

That Manny Pac is no mortal. He should drink some of that water.

Sounds more like he's been swallowing some of Roach's piss;D

Manny Pacquiao may well be the first man EVER to go 12 rounds on the mitts.. :rolleyes: I just love how the pac journalists over exagerate EVERY little thing to make it seem as if pac man is some kind of inhuman force.

Sure, its not. To be heard of someone really has to make an impact and many boxers from other countries manage to do so. How many times do you hear of someone other than Pac when it comes to boxing? Quite different from Mexican, Puerto Rican, American, and European boxers who you will hear EVERY YEAR about a champion in different weight classes, a rising star, legends, etc. Like I said, Pac could be opening the door or maybe after him boxing is unheard of back in the Phils. Let's see what happens.

And if I was working on Hatton's corner I would publish an article that said that Hatton is SuperMan in disguise and does 500 pound benchpress, etc. Come on SaddoBoxer, are you really that gullible? :)

Whoa! PAC has top notch champions and prospects as sparring partners in Jorge Linares, Urbano Antillon and Mike Alvarado...

Hope Hatton is having sparring sessions with Joe Calzaghe... in order to get used of quick hands and fast combos...

Don't have details Bro... Could be "Tito" Hopkins... lol j/k

There's one young British (Scottish?) prospect (Gary Young) that got busted by PAC on their very 1st sparring session... The kid might be sent back to England for having a busted nose...

Freddie Roach said recently:

“Hatton is not fundamentally sound as a fighter – he keeps his chin up. He is the perfect opponent for Manny. You’re going to hear a lot of glass breaking when Manny starts playing his chin music concerto on Hatton. You’re going to see who has the chops to play this masterpiece on May 2.”


I agree with Coach Roach... Hatton's chin is very open to PAC's left hook... He keeps his chin up and his right glove is way below not protecting it...

For someone who is not fundamentally sound, Hatton really has forged a remarkable career. Is Roach trying to recite poetry there? :-\

Maybe ricky can tinkle the ivories in Pac's teeth ;)

This is assuming if Hatton plays to Roach's plan...Hatton can always change his style to suit his opponent, but...I'm not sure if Pacquiao can change, to a greater degree, his susceptibility to rib punches, against one of the best body punchers in the sport ;)

But, as we always know, it's all about the night...maybe Hatton will get blasted away in 5 rounds, maybe Pacquiao will crumble to a body punch, who knows eh

Great cover

There’ll be no major changes in the way Manny Pacquiao will conduct his business – methodical but brutal – against Ricky Hatton on May 2 in Las Vegas.

As in the most recent past, Pacquiao would definitely be in tip-top shape, according to his chief trainer Freddie Roach, who doesn’t see the junior-welterweight match set at the MGM Grand Garden Arena going past three rounds in favor of the Filipino southpaw – now regarded as the best in the world pound for pound.

Roach believes the old Pacquiao, the one who ran rings around the legendary Oscar De La Hoya with lateral movement and pin-point punching in December, would show up on fight night.

Roach is confident Pacquiao will be much sharper against Hatton than the time he easily polished off the Golden Boy.

“Manny’s style doesn't change a lot, but both opponents from these two last fights he is about to be or has been involved in — De La Hoya and Hatton — are both stronger, bigger guys, and we can't stand in front of them. We can use a little bit of the last camp preparing for Ricky, but we can tweak it a little bit,” Roach told Gareth Davies, the accomplished boxing writer for The Telegraph.

Roach is so sure of victory that he quipped that the only way Hatton can win the fight is when he catches Pacquiao napping on the ropes.

Roach said they’ve been workRoach ropeing hard in training camp to avoid, cognizant of Hatton’s preference to pin his foes on the ropes.

Other than that, Roach doesn’t see the fight going the other way.

“I can’t see that (happening),” Roach said in another interview this time with the Bulletin as he was about to cap another day of tough grind at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood.

With four weeks to go before the fight, Pacquiao’s is believed to reach his peak sometime in the next two weeks as his sparring session hits the 100 rounds-mark.

The past three weeks, Pacquiao has been either bloodying or beating up his sparmates, enough to convince Roach that there’s no way Hatton can beat the Gensan bomber.


Any info on the identities of Hatton sparring partners? ;) Victor Ortiz? Zab Judah? Anyone? ... Hatton sparring sessions were ultra secret... ;D

Or Team Hatton can hire Valero as a sparring partner... Valero is still very fresh... ;) I think any of these 3 southpaws, Valero, Judah or Ortiz can hurt or give Hatton a black eye in sparring... Just like what happened to DelaHoya...

Prediction of Gareth A. Davies, a formidable boxing sportswriter from UK's Telegraph Media Group:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph...s_1378789j.jpg

Beholden to neither boxing camps, Gareth A. Davies brings along with him his invisible crystal ball from the United Kingdom. It reveals to him nothing short of mere speculations. But, he sees from it a see-saw fight between Pound-for-pound King Manny Pacquiao and IBO Light Welterweight Champion Ricky Hatton but conversely predicting an inevitable full stoppage in round 8th or 9th.

Asked about how he sees the fight other than his prediction of a late stoppage by Pacquiao, Davies says “Hatton may dominate Pacquiao in the first three rounds.” But, "Pacquiao will catch him up and through within fourth to fifth rounds and will clinically land more punches until the eight or ninth round," he adds.

Hmm.. interesting. A formidable UK boxing writter picking Pac to win.

you guys make me laugh - the fact that a journalist is even described as formidable then voids all other words past that point - article is then irrelevant.

"The three experts who have selected Hatton are Steve Bunch (television commentator) by late-round stoppage; Mark Collings (Esquire UK) mid-to late-round stoppage and Stuart Brennan (Manchester Evening News), possibly late-round stoppage."

I'd say they are just as likely to be wrong as those who picked Pac.

What you wont find is me talking as if Hatton has already won the fight because some people have picked him to. All you Pac fans are treating every bit of pro Pacoganda as if it means the fight is won and that he's scoring points for opinions.

Fair play... I laughed at one guy here who suggested that Hatton should back out from the fight now...

What I presented in this thread are:

- IMO PAC will probably dish out the worst beating ever on Hatton
- Most people (boxing experts or otherwise) picked PAC to defeat Hatton
- Oddsmakers installed PAC as the 2 to 1 favorite over Hatton

It's all facts (except the first one of course)... and opinions...
.

Isn't it actually all just opinions...and not facts? .... even betting odds are opinions, the fight hasn't happened yet so I don't see how there can be any facts of the outcome! :P

Only fact is that Hatton and Pacquiao are going to fight...and Mayweather Snr. dresses like some over the hill pimp...

Facts are:
- Many people pick PAC to defeat Hatton
- PAC is 2 to 1 betting favorite to defeat Hatton
