What does this have to do with what Hatton will do against Manny?? Completely irrelevant.

Hatton should get back to work early this year and get focussed because he can beat Pac. There are a lot of limitations in Pac and he has not been tested at all beyond 135.

Calm down Mr. Miles.... I did not stray too far. Just an addition to a prior post.

Hatton has to stick to a solid gameplan, and not get discouraged as Oscar did, when confronted initially with Pacquiao's baffling approach to fighting. They always say, the best of plans gets severely tested after one solid punch.

If you read up on the Garcia write up, accordiing to Joe Chavez, Oscar was nailed so solidly in the first round that it ruined their approach to the fight. Any other things they were trying to do became difficult because Oscar got discouraged.

This is what Hatton need to avoid. To load up on some psychological strengthening stuff, like it or not, of course ale is not it! (LOL)

Bar room brawl? Body attack? Is all good, as long as you stick with it and not change game plans in the middle of the fight.

Manny isnt even all that baffling. He is fast, that is all. Oscar is a silly old homo that doesnt know how to fight anymore. And that became obvious.

Hatton is not the type to get discouraged. He will come forward until the end. And he will hit Manny on the chops. Repeatedly. Manny is the one who wont like it. Manny can throw more. But he will be getting hit harder.

Hatton is simply too big, and that will be the key difference.

All this talk of Oscar and the gayness factor. Forget it. Pac has a war now. And his turn is done.

Hatton must establish effective bodywork early.

He msut also repair that hole in his defense that southpaws always sneak their left hand through.

I think he needs to establish both the jab and straight right.

In doing so I think he can walk through as he did with Tszyu.

To try and pin Pac against the ropes and pound away to the body would be the ideal thing to tell him to do. I just don't know how he's going to be getting him there. Then again Floyd is a better trainer than me and I suppose he will be breaking Pacs style down right now and figuring a way to do it.

Not fight him,its a no win situation for Hatton.
If Pac wins,he becomes commercially unviable,see DLH
If Ricky wins,he beat up on a puffed up little guy, see all the credit Hopkins didnt get for Trinidad and DLH
Its a no win situation

Oscar stood in front of Pac and took tons of solid shots, he didnt run and try to avoid them, he got pulled out because he went in too light and had no energy, Pac may have buzzed Oscar because he was light headed from the weight, I mean he took some shots off Hopkins who has hurt Pavlik, Calzaghe and Tarver.

Good points. Oscar has one of the best chins I've seen from the modern day fighters.

Yep, even though I didnt think Pac would win, I think with hind sight seeing how ridiculously light Osacr came in thhat this win has made Pac look alot better than he is and in turn will make Hatton seem alot better.

Oscar coming in a welter where he has fought 2 weights above would have been like Pacquiaomoving back down to to feather and weighing 2 pounds under, im sure hed have given a listless performance as well.
