Pacquiao went wrong

[JazMerkin]

Ricky Hatton decided to fight Manny Pacquiao at some point in January...

It all went firmly downhill from there.

Pacquiao went wrong

Bang on.

Twice actually.rd 1 and rd 2.

Loads of fighters have had much worse things happen during their training, that's life.

Saying that, I don't think we will ever find out what went wrong, in the 24/7 they all seemed happy and in good spirits.

Pacquiao went wrong

Correct, Pacquiao was what went wrong, when a fighter gets blasted out inside 2 rounds with the 3 rd knockdown knocking you out cold, nothing you have done in camp or whatever anyone has told you to do is going to make one scrap of difference to the result. The trainer isn't in the ring fighting Pacquiao, Hatton was obliterated from the first bell until the final count out! Hatton had no time to carry out any instructions Mayweather would have given him pre fight, he was in survival mode at about 1 minute into the fight!! No matter who was training Hatton the same result would have occurred.

I agree... Below is my reply to Lefty few days ago when he asked me of my view of the fight:

link --> http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...78-post36.html

"I think Hatton has the wrong frame of mind from the start, since the time this fight was still in negotiation... Hatton thinks he's the favorite coz he's the man at 140, the bigger and stronger boxer... He thinks he's more popular coz he has 35,000 fans flying over the Atlantic just to see him fight... This was manifested when he won't budge from a 50-50 purse split offer...

Reality sets in to Hatton but it's too late when it's only days into the fight... Hatton was bitter when most boxing experts, writers, and opinion polls pointed to a PAC victory and writing off his chances of winning the fight... Hatton was bitter seeing the odds opening more almost installing PAC as a 3 to 1 favorite 1 day into the fight...

Having "Pride in Battle" tattoed on his back for this fight, Hatton approached the fight riding on that pride... He wanted to show who's the man, who's the bigger and stronger man... That's where he got it all wrong because PAC is truly the better boxer overall and that leads to his early downfall...

I think if Hatton already considered PAC a very dangerous opponent from the start, he could have prepared for it properly and approached the fight with more caution and more defense... But what we always hear from Hatton were;

"I'm the bigger and stronger guy..."

"This is my house, I'm unbeatable at 140..."

"People were reading too much on Manny's last fight..."

"I will be the best pound-for-pound boxer after I defeat Manny..."

Pac is quicker, better footwork, better head movement, throws combinations, has a better chin, has faced overall better opponets....... no wonder Hatton lost, does a toy poodle beat up a pit bull? Oh and like beating Mallinagi gets you ready for Pacquiao, Pleeease! What exactly do they put in their pipes in Manchester?

[Spicoli]

Not keen on excuses.Pacquiao had him from jump off and exploited his game point blank.

Have not been high on the 24/7 series though.It really would not have mattered as far as result .....but its becoming more and more one big glam show ad serving as a blah-blah platform for the trainers drama and sub plots as much as the actual fight breakdown it self.HBO needs to look outside of itself,give fans & viewers the entire history.

"I will be the best pound-for-pound boxer after I defeat Manny..."

This quote by Hatton is the main reason I'm glad it ended the way it ended.

Guess Hatton now fully understood the meaning of "best pound-for-pound boxer" ...

To be honest , i dont think anything went wrong with the Hatton camp that affected the outcome. Simple fact is Manny is light years ahead of Ricky , Hatton fought like he has many times successfully before , it didnt work because PACMAN was to good, to fast , and to powerful.
So not so much what went wrong for Hatton , but what went right for PACMAN.

[El Kabong]

I think a ton of things lead up to the KO loss for Ricky, but for Bunce to say he doesn't want to see Ricky fight again because "He can't fight at that level anymore" it's ridiculous! Ricky only tried to fight at the elite level twice PBF and Manny and he lost both by KO/TKO.

Ricky is a very good fighter, he's dominated 140, he has fought pretty much everyone in the division and beat them. There is no reason to think Ricky is 100% done because of 2 losses to the top 2 P4P fighters.

[AdamGB]

Nothing that happened happened in camp was Hatton's downfall.

Rucks with trainers etc will affect your frame of mind, make you pick the wrong game plan, come in unfocused etc...

What they WON'T do is make you fundimentally flawed, walk forwards in a straight line with your chin up and a piss poor excuse for a guard resting on your chest.

hatton didn't get systematically broken down because of frustration/a bad gameplan etc... he just walked into a blitz. His team not working properly would have maybe affected him in a longer, competative fight.

[Nameless]

I could imagine that things went wrong and that Ricky might have been pissed off by some of Mayweather's behaviors, it could have affected something. However, I do no think that these things would have ultimately changed the issue of the fight, I always said Pacman would K.O Ricky around the seven because he was too skilled for him, when I saw that they only had 4 pounds of difference on the scale and not like 10 like I expected, I thought: "oh shit, the bigger man isn't that bigger after all" and so went down one of his hidden tricky card to win this fight. He might have lasted longer, but I do not see the fight going the other way at all.
