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

oh my god. Yesterday Roach said that Pacquiao was going to kill Hatton, now he's only going to knock him out in 3 rounds. You'd better watch out mate cos if he keeps going in this direction then he'll have Manny to lose by the end of the week LOL.

I don't know why you keep posting these links to Freddi's predictions - Freddie said that Vazquez should not fight Rafael Marquez, then Israel took another trainer, and he won twice against Rafael Marquez. He also said, after the fight with (Joe) Calzaghe, that Bernard Hopkins is too old, he should not fight anymore. Then Bernard Hopkins took another trainer and he had one of the best fights of his life, against Kelly Pavlik...

Let's face it, you can post as many Freddie Roach predicitions and comments about worst ever beatings as you like - it makes no difference (apart from to make yourself look a little lacking in perspective) as this will be settled in the ring by the only two people that matter.

You are clearly a Pacquiao fan not a boxing fan.

For what its worth the only prediction I will make is that Manny will not win inside 3 rounds. I actually quite like the guy and think that he is a great boxer but I hope that he loses just to see what you say then.

Roll on May 2nd - it should be a great fight (no matter what Freddie Roach says)!

Roach is a 2-time BWAA coach of the year. He got every right to get in someone's head for the purpose of hyping the fight. Besides, wasn't he dead right about the 9th round KO of Diaz and 8th round KO of DLH?.. He nailed those predictions.

So you admit that everything that comes out of Roach's mouth is nonsense and only said for the purpose of hyping the fight?

I agree. Thank you very much.

Nope, not everything. It's just that Pac is not a big crap talker, so Roach is doing that for him.

Well Roach is entitled to his own personal prediction for this fight... And that's what PAC also commented when he was asked about Roach's 3rd round KO prediction...

My own personal opinion/prediction is PAC inflicting the worst beating ever on Hatton and KO/TKO Hatton inside 9 rounds... Well if PAC KOs Hatton in 3 rounds then it's still inside 9 rounds and still within my prediction...

Even a broken watch is right at least two times a day

Nope, not everything. It's just that Pac is not a big crap talker, so Roach is doing that for him.

So since Pac Man doesn't want to talk crap [nonsense/gibberish/hyperbole etc.] Roach is doing it for him. Thus, what you are really saying is that Roach talks nonsense to generate hype for fights; ergo, you just managed to make a statement and then refute it all in one sentence. Congrats on that, lol.

The May 2 fight in Las Vegas is being billed as "The Battle of East and West."




Fans of Filipino boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao try to greet their idol on March 30, 2009 at the Roosevelt Hotel in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles for a media "meet and greet" to promote the upcoming World Championship showdown between Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton of Great Britain.


Wherever they go, be it in Manchester (UK), London (UK), Hollywood-Los Angeles (USA) or Las Vegas (USA), PAC fans outnumbered Hatton fans...

hmmm - Hatton wasn't outnumbered in Manchester, though they were shocked by the amount of Manny fans there. ofcourse he'll be outnumbered in LA or LV for now - they won't be flying over until next month. ridiculous - I reckon inside the arena where the noise will help the most it'll be Hatton fans that outnumber Manny's. He may have all the Filos behind him but how many are going to pay for the ticket or PPV compared to Brits?

Thanks for the info... I thought PAC fans outnumbered Hatton fans in Manchester since PAC just renamed "Manchester" to "Mannychester"... lol

Hope PAC will keep the tradition and will shock Hatton fans once again on fight night...

I accept, that Vegas thing still remains to be seen but basing it to the turn-out in every press tour and "meet and greet" from UK to USA, PAC fans has the number...

[DatsiK]

Pac has the numbers but the question is - do pac fans know how to make a good racket like hatton fans can? My point is if the pac fans outnumbered the Hatton fans 2 to 1 but the Hatton fans made much more noise for the entire fight then which set of fans is better?

The difference between both sets of fans (in my opinion) is that Hatton's fans are genuine boxing fans and are DEDICATED to following the hitman where as alot of the pac fans (seemingly 95% of the Fillipines...) come across as casual fans who are more interested in the man himself than the sport he's competing in.. riding the bandwagon I guess you could call it.
