Pacquiao beating Hatton...I just don't see it

[Gandalf]

Anyone here who thinks Hatton looked great against Collazo, or his 2 last fights better think again. Imo, Ricky is deteriorating.

I don't think Hatton looked great against Collazo by a long shot. I don't think many would say he did TBH. He did look very good against Malignaggi though.

What makes you think Hatton is deteriorating?

Physically and mentally.

I think he's aging out. His face is getting more puffed up every fight (and Mallinaggi is not even well known as a puncher). I think he started going down the hill after the PBF fight.

Somethin's not right with him. Don't you notice?

I thought after the Lazcano fight that Hatton was in the dumps mentally. Easy win, but sloppy as hell. Physically too, I thought Lazcano hurt Ricky twice and Lazcano shouldn't be hurting Ricky at 140. But that is me being critical, Hatton pretty much shut Lazcano out and was in no real danger of ever losing the fight. Even on autopilot Hatton beats up most fighters.

But against Malignaggi who many expected to give Hatton fits, Hatton showed that his head was right back where it needs to be. Sure, Hatton got a little bit of a mouse under the eye, but he dominated that fight and had Paulie clinging for life repeatedly. That was not a fighter on the slide. That was Hatton stating quite emphatically that he is the man at 140.

I don't see anything wrong with Hatton, if truth be known. I see a lot of things right. He has shaken off the Mayweather loss and has bounced back with an eye on improving himself. Hatton on the slide would have continued with the same old routines. But Ricky has his head head in a good place right now. Nothing to worry about unless you are a fan of all things Pac.
