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

To be fair neither fighter will have exact clones of the other man. I was quite impressed with Hatton's choice of Lara as sparring partner, as he looks very good from the few videos I have seen. He can throw a hundred punches a round from an awkward southpaw stance. But let's face it, nothing quite matches up to what either man will face come fight night. And let's not forget that all this sparring is done with headgear. Hattons head is tough enough, Manny hasn't shown us yet what he can take upstairs, and I'm not convinced that any of his sparring partners can hit to the body as hard as Hatton either.

I don't really see it. Bradley seems a decent fighter and works hard, but I'm not seeing exceptional handspeed there.

Anyway, get back to the original thread. Where's todays report about Manny Pac eating a tree and decapitating King Kong in sparring?? ;D

---

Stop making your own fears Miles. I know you have bad dreams about this fight but please stay sane.;D;D

This fight is doing my bloody head in. I'm supposed to be writing a paper, and all I keep doing is posting about this bloody fight. :mad:

Here it is... PAC playing baseball while Hatton in the gym still trying to figure out how not to get hit by straight left coming from a southpaw boxer... ;)

;D ;D ;D

Additional note: Just to show how conditioned, how sharp and how accurate PAC is at the moment, on this ceremonial first pitch, PAC throws a strike!!

"Pacquiao strolled to the mound, all the way to the pitching rubber, then fired the ceremonial first pitch with a left jab for a crisp strike to his battery mate, and fellow Filipino, Tim Lincecum (Lincecum's mother is Filipino)."

You know I cannot resist joining in with a little debate. There is no urgency, but I'm writing a little slower than I should be. It's the fault of my paper as much as the fight. It's just not much fun to do.

I will be here for the build up and beyond, so don't think you are going to be able to overwhelm everyone with propaganda pieces!! ;D

Another PAC propaganda (directed specially for Bro miles... ;D ):

Iron Mike Tyson pick PAC to win...

link --> Mike Tyson: Manny Pacquiao's skills will chill Ricky Hatton

"Who will win come May 2?,"

“Pacquiao will win,” Tyson said. “I like Ricky Hatton but he is just not elusive enough to handle Manny’s pressure attack. With Manny, it’s something like I used to be. With Manny, the punches come in bunches.”

So mark Iron Mike down as firmly in Pacman’s corner for this bout.

;D

Hatton has knocked over 100 nodding head Pacs !! As for me taking a punch from him, I weigh 85Kilos so he can catch me on his way up to HW, and there's no punching under the belt so I'll tie it rounds my forehead;)

---

Your 85 kilos of what? Fat or muscles? If it's 85 kilos of fat, PAc does not need to go HW.;D

Oops!

There are only 10 days left before Ricky Hatton steps into the ring with Manny Pacquiao, and trepidation over the Englishman's chances mounts with every passing hour.

Hatton may have replaced a limited trainer — Billy Graham — with an excellent one — Floyd Mayweather Sr — but he hasn't altered his lifestyle between bouts and nor, more worryingly, does he appear to have learned to keep his trap shut lest he provide his opponent with the extra motivation that comes with prospect of making a braggart dine out on his own hubris.

"Manny fights the same way all the time," Hatton said about his Filipino opponent this week. "He's effective at what he does but he's not a versatile fighter. He's never met a man as fiery, ferocious or rough as me, and certainly not as big and strong. I don't think Manny is the most elusive. He's there to be hit. And if he gets hit he's going to get hit by the biggest man he's ever faced."

No doubt there was an element of the circus barker in this stream of consciousness but nevertheless Hatton surely overstepped marketing responsibilities and to potentially damaging effect. Pacquiao, as he implies, is one-dimensional all right; he's brilliant, and he is brilliant all the time.

;D ;D
