This thread should be closed, just a constant stream of biased bullshit coming from the Pac fans.
I respect whatever the reasons but fact remains, Hatton said "no" to the Hoya challenge... I still think Hatton can make the fight if he really wanted to...

Re: Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?
Seriously Saddo boxer your being a bit ridiculous and redundant here
I mean posting pictures of fighters and calling them fags is just immature
Not to mention its a fact that Hatton was slated to fight Paulie in agreement b4 the Hoya oppurtunity. What I find ridiculous is how you pac fans keep banging on the Delahoya win like he beat Klitschko:rolleyes:
The fact is PBF beat Hoya a year and a half earlier.. A fresher stronger Oscar fighting at his optimal weight, same weight he was fighting 10 years.. PAc beats an older drained version of Oscar and all of a sudden Pac is better than Marvin Hagler or something... News flash the majority said the version of Oscar that fought Floyd was shot and past his prime, so were supposed to believe an older drain version was better... PLEASE
-
Re: Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?
Pac fans like SaddoBoxer really do a disservice to him and make it hard to root for the guy, because somehow you will be lumped into a pool of delusion, bias and stubborn fans that know little about the sport beyond Pac..

I am not sure if Pac fans will challenge what you just said. I have mentioned the same thing whenever they get totally excited about his victory vs ODLH.
Quote:

There are other boxing forums and on YouTube where you can see Pac fans say that when it comes to boxing the Phillipines is better than Mexico all the way. Just because Pac beat some Mexicans, without really counting JMM. The sport of boxing will be talked about among Pac fans for maybe 2 or 3 more years. Pac fans will consider boxing a "sport of western countries" once Pac retires :P . Not sure if they really follow the sport or they just follow Pac.

Re: Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?
Well this is by far the longest thread I have seen so far on 1 subject so I might as well put my 2 cents in here as well =). I think this fight has the potential to be fight of the year and quite possibly a rematch could happen down the road. The unstoppable force vs the immovable object will take place on May 2nd and I for one cannot wait. I hope a 24/7 will be made for this.

I agree completely. I really never thought much of Hatton until I watched the HBO specials for the countdown to the P.B.F. fight. He's a pretty humble,
ordinary guy, who's really accessible to his fans - something really uncommon in this day and age.
However, with this new 'trainer', an absolute simian, with the boxing I.Q. and general I.Q. of a retarded dog, I can't find out for the life of me what Hatton was thinking. Did the Mayweather K.O. do damage to Ricky's brain?
Unless Pac comes into this fight totally unprepared, I don't see Ricky making it past 5 rounds.

Re: Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?
i think hatton has a chance if he is allowed to box's his way by the ref. if he makes it ugly and doesn't let pac get his rhythm going then its possible he can do it.
if its joe cortez he's no chance
don't get me wrong i'm taking anything away from pac, hatton's got a mountain to climb to beat him, but the ref can make it alot harder.

I've got a quote from Enzo Calzaghe as well on the Haye v Maccarinelli bout March 2008.
"If David Haye goes 12 rounds with Macca he will never box again".
If you believe anything Enzo says you must be a fool.

I can see what your saying there mate, but i dont see many trainers saying much other than there fighter is going to win in spectacular style, Enzo comments come with no intrest to him so he can give unbiased judgement, so i take his Pac prediction far more serious than his one against Big Enzo who is like a second son to him.
Still cant see how so many people think Hatton is getting ko'd within 6 rounds by a guy who was fighting at super fetherweight less than two years ago lol. Hatton is like an ox at 140, will be a close fight alot closer than many of you guys are predicting imo.

As for Pac, I couldn't care. Just as long as he's left smack down and over.

Re: Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?
I'm having second thoughts of this opinion that PAC might inflict the worst beating on Hatton...
It's very difficult to top what PBF did to Hatton, slamming Hatton to the ring post and knocking him out but if PAC cuts Hatton's face early and then slam Hatton face first to the canvass before round 9 ends then I think that will top what PBF did to Hatton...

Re: Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?
I'm rooting for Pac. Once he disposes of Hatton, I think I've heard rumblings about a possible fight with Cotto. Wouldn't that be great?

PAC-Cotto is very possible... Cotto is contemplating of bolting out from TopRank (he's angry Arum is defending Margarito) so in order for TopRank to renew/sign-up Cotto again is to bait him with a $10M guaranteed purse Pacquiao fight in September or October (that's if PAC beats Hatton ;) )...
I think Cotto is also interested in a Pacquiao fight, he started mentioning PAC's name as possible future opponent... ;)

Pac VS Cotto......:rolleyes:people are really getting carried away with the Oscar win. Cotto is a top Welter, young, skilled, fast with very decent power. The Hatton fight is a huge challenge in itself but some reckon it's gonna be a piece of piss for Manny. I say wait and see what happens with Hatton first.

Re: Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?
Pacquiao Beats "one-dimensional" Hatton, Says Juan Diaz
By Mark Vester
Former lightweight champion Juan Diaz recently gave his thoughts on the outcome of the May 2 bout between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. Diaz doesn't think Hatton has what it takes, skill-wise, to beat the more polished Pavquiao. He feels Hatton's is a one-dimensional fighter and has a style that will play into Pacquiao's hands.
“It's gonna be two good guys facing against each other but I think Manny Pacquiao has improved as far as his boxing skills are concerned. The fact that Ricky Hatton is a one-dimensional fighter, he just comes forward a lot, I think Manny Pacquiao can expose that and beat him,” Diaz told Dennis Principe during his dzSR’s Sports Chat.
He said Pacquiao's power is well-known, but it's going to be his boxing skills that win him the fight.
“We all know that he has the power to knock a guy out and he did that from junior featherweight, feather weight all the way up to welterweight. I think his boxing skills is gonna take him over to win against Ricky Hatton,” Diaz said.
;D

I wouldnt call the Dela Hoya a knockout win like i wouldnt call Hattons win over Paulie a knockout win, Dela Hoya quit because he couldnt offer any sort of answer to Pacs arsenal. Pac i think could stop Ricky but i honestly believe Pac is in for a rough night, Hatton is a strong fighter who imposes himself on fighters, people who come up with Pacs a natural 140 fighter i think talk nonsense, Hatton is the bigger stronger man and that will show come fight night when he enters the ring at around 152/153 lbs. But Pac is fast snappy and can throw quick punches which i think will be the telling factor, i also think the referee's handling of the fight will be a key factor.
But if i had to put my neck on the line id say Pac 10th rnd tko.

Re: Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?
Here's my short analytic Prediction for this fight.
How the hell Hatton can close the Gap without taking bombs? Pac's arms are 5" longer than hatton. Pac has the better Jab... Ohh much better coz hatton actually was Virtually no Jab at all. On this fight Pac will use a lot of his Lead Left coz that punch will still be the longer & effective shot that hatton's Jab.
Now How can Hatton can close the Gap? His Jab won't help. hatton will use his head movement to get close to Pac. The Bad news ... Pac's footspeed is much Faster than Hatton. All Pac has to do is step Back & counter with Jab, Right Hook or lead left.
IN case Pac was caught in a Clinch, Pac was good in this situation. All you have to do is watch Pac-Velasquez. Pac can throw that Left uppercut hook even while Clinching. Pac also aware on what's coming & quick to move his head on one side to the other to avoid Punches during a Clinch.
The key in this fight is Pac's punch accuracy from the outside. Hatton's is way out of League in that Category. I see this fight going the way How Pac beat Lucero & David Diaz. Make Hatton miss then strafe him from the outside. We saw it in Pac's last 2 fights. He never let his opponent tie him up on the inside. Pac will have a Punch fest from the outside for this fight. Hatton's arms are way too short to Block Pac's avalanche of punches. Pac K0 rd 5.

Re: Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?
There's hope for Hatton... Every boxer has a chance even how slim it is...
Ricky Hatton's Hidden Advantage Over Manny Pacquiao
For fight fans, May 2nd is an eternity from now.
Many are consumed by the anticipation for that moment when Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton finally step into the ring to answer the opening bell. They touch gloves, and the brawl is on.
Predictions on the outcome are split down the middle. Both fighters are more or less evenly matched in size and reach. Pacquiao will have the edge in speed, Hatton will presumably have the edge in power, being at his natural weight and having taken on bigger opponents.
However, one distinct advantage that the Hitman will have over the Pacman is his “fighting style.” Manny Pacquiao all throughout his career has been a very clean fighter. He fights well and fights clean. In a fight this close that may be to his disadvantage.
Hatton on the other hand, is known to use every trick in the book to get one over his opponent. He will use his head (in more ways than one), shoulders, and land punches in places where they shouldn’t (just ask Kostya Tszyu). Hatton will push, clinch, get entangled and use rough-housing techniques that will blur the lines.
In a battle at close-quarters, this will serve him in good stead. Fighting close will also neutralize Pacquiao’s speed.
But Manny is not the world’s pound for pound best for nothing. He and Freddie Roach will come in with a solid game plan. They know that Pacquiao is most vulnerable at close-quarters. Vulnerable to Ricky’s rough-housing tactics and short stinging body punches.
Expect Manny to be quick on his feet and move out of harm’s way when Ricky rushes in. He must not even give Ricky a chance to play dirty and execute his game plan.
Recall that early in his career while campaigning as a super-bantamweight, Pacquiao struggled with a technical draw against Agapito Sanchez. Sanchez was not even a great fighter. Just an extremely dirty one.
In that fight, he used low blows and head-butts, with the fight stopped in the sixth rounds due to cuts suffered by Pacquiao. This is a classic example of how a dirty fighter can neutralize one who does not play that game.
Not to take anything away from Hatton who has more than proven to be an elite fighter, but his edge against Manny is that he does not hesitate to use “unconventional” tactics inside the ring when need be. He may just need everything in his armory if he is to take out Pacquiao.

Now How can Hatton can close the Gap? His Jab won't help. hatton will use his head movement to get close to Pac. The Bad news ... Pac's footspeed is much Faster than Hatton. All Pac has to do is step Back & counter with Jab, Right Hook or lead left.
IN case Pac was caught in a Clinch, Pac was good in this situation. All you have to do is watch Pac-Velasquez. Pac can throw that Left uppercut hook even while Clinching. Pac also aware on what's coming & quick to move his head on one side to the other to avoid Punches during a Clinch.
The key in this fight is Pac's punch accuracy from the outside. Hatton's is way out of League in that Category. I see this fight going the way How Pac beat Lucero & David Diaz. Make Hatton miss then strafe him from the outside. We saw it in Pac's last 2 fights. He never let his opponent tie him up on the inside. Pac will have a Punch fest from the outside for this fight. Hatton's arms are way too short to Block Pac's avalanche of punches. Pac K0 rd 5.
Are you saying he has 3 arms or that he holds and hits?
Hatton will use the following steps to close the gap.

Bringing back Pac KO loss when he was 17 was a wrong advice for Hatton. That was a Frail, Dehydrated & inexperienced Pac. Gauge them on their recent fights.

What's with "prefight fun"? This term is getting over-used here as convenient excuse for some way off postings... ;) just like "inflict the worst beating"... ;D
