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

[XaduBoxer]

I like how in true typical Saddoboxer fashion he left out some other important quotes in his summary of the article

What I posted is not my summary of the article... It's an excerpt from the article, the very first part/portion of the article... That article is quite long and it's not advisable to post the whole article but I provided you a link so that you can read the whole article... It's not my style to intentionally left out some information as you suggested... it's not my style to misled readers...

I think it's also important to note that this question "Is Manny Pacquiao the man to end Ricky Hatton's career?" comes from a British boxing writer...
.

Like I said

JMM was a friggin draw the 1st time and Pac got a Xmas present in the 2nd fight... Far from beatings.. JMM fuked up Pac's face pretty bad too dude..

David Diaz who gives a poop about that ham and egger, he was a paper champion to begin with.. Now all of a sudden its relevant that Pac beat him up.. I got news for you dude, Erik Morales beat that joker and got shafted.. Yea the same Erik Morales that you brag about Pac turning into a shot fighter

Even if the judges saw PAC-JMM 1 as a draw, it does not change the fact that PAC gave JMM a beating... You could make a case that JMM also gave PAC a beating but that's another story or thread...

PAC definitely gave Erik Morales the worst beating in Erik's whole boxing career... PAC was the 1st one for knocked down Erik and the 1st boxer to stop the granite chin Morales... This fact can't be denied...

So PAC giving boxing legends (Barrera, JMM, Morales, DelaHoya) a worst beating, it's also possible PAC will give it to Hatton, isn't it?? Am I right??

.

Even if Pac gave Barrera, Morales, DLH, and JMM which i dont think was so bad...
Hatton is a total different fighter than all of those in so many ways.
Styles make fights.
Hatton is closest to prime than all 4 of them.
Hatton is 140 KING.
Hatton will test Pacman in so many ways.
Im not ruling out Pacman I juzz think Hatton is at an advantage so im giving him the odds.

Good opinion and I respect that... This is what I expect as answer to my question... Actually it is just a simple yes or no question but you guys wanted to change some facts... Is it really that difficult to accept these facts that PAC gave a worst beating to some boxing legends?? I think it's not hard to accept...

I dont have a problem with you Saddoboxer, its just the way you twist and spin the bias toward Pac is extremely nauseating...

Its ridiculous to say Pac beat the Crap out of JMM and Morales, when those guys kick the piss out of him too..

Why the heck would you bring up Diaz for He has never been relevant

I also don't have any problem with you JT or with any other poster for that matter...

What I presented is true, PAC dished out the worst beating to Morales and JMM... You are also correct that Morales and JMM also dished out a beating on PAC but it's another story... How about the worst beating that Barrera and DelaHoya received?? We're sorry for them since they had not dished out a beating on PAC...

"Looking at the Tale of the Tape now, Hatton enters the ring with a professional record of 45-1, 32 KO’s. His height is listed at 5’7 ½” with a reach of 65.” It is expected Hatton will weigh-in between 139 and 140 lbs, his usual fighting weight.

Pacquiao’s professional record is 48-3-2, 36 KO’s. The Pac-Man stands in at 5’ 6 ½” and has a reach of 67.” His weight will remain a mystery until he steps on the scales, having never fought in the junior welterweight division before. Pacquiao weighed 129 for his March 2008 fight with Marquez, and as much as 142 in December for the super fight with Oscar De La Hoya. This fight will mark the fourth different weight division in which he has competed in as many fights.

Examining the numbers, Hatton will have a one inch height advantage, but Pacquiao will have a 2” advantage in reach. This is significant because Pacquiao likes to stay outside using his jab as a measuring stick, then his quickness to jump in with fast but powerful combinations. Conventional wisdom says that Hatton will be the stronger of the two at the 140 pound weight class, but if recent history has shown us anything it is that conventional wisdom goes out the window once the bell rings. Antonio Margarito was supposed to be the stronger of the two when he faced Sugar Shane Mosley on January 24, yet it was Mosley who easily pushed Margarito off at times in the fight and soundly defeated the WBA Welterweight champion. Before that, it was Manny Pacquiao who was supposed to be a near ‘sacrificial lamb’ to the bigger, stronger Oscar De La Hoya. However, boxing fans all saw what occurred there as the Pac-Man dominated the Golden Boy.

Looking at their respective records it can be stated with relative authority that Pacquiao has faced a better class of opposition than has Hatton. While the two share no common opponents with which to compare their performances, Pacquiao has faced the likes of Erik Morales (three times), Juan Manuel Marquez (twice), Marco Antonio Barrera (twice), as well as David Diaz and Oscar De La Hoya. Hatton’s record consists of only two huge names; Kostya Tszyu, whom Ricky stopped in 11 rounds in perhaps his finest performance, and Floyd Mayweather, JR., whom Hatton was stopped by in 10 rounds. Other names appearing on the Hit Man’s record include Juan Urango, Luis Collazo, and Jose Luis Castillo.

And now, for the fight itself. Once the bell rings there is a boxing axiom that while at times perceived as the dreaded “conventional wisdom” is one that history shows holds true, and that is: “speed kills.” Pacquiao will attempt to use his speed from the outset, setting a blistering pace and scoring with lightning fast


Combinations, while avoiding return fire from Hatton. Hatton meanwhile, will be attempting to come forward, pressing the attack, crowding the ever moving Pacquiao, hoping to force him into exchanges where the Hit Man can do damage. How Hatton goes about this may be the yardstick of his potential success or failure on this night. Ricky must not be preoccupied with landing shots to the head. He must be content to land as he can to the body in those moments when Pacquiao comes inside looking to land fast combinations. Hatton is a terrific body puncher and he must bring that talent to bear on Pacquiao if he has any hopes of success. Further, Hatton must not come straight in and straight up or he will be mere cannon fodder for Pacquiao’s pinpoint punches. The Hit Man must present angles to Pacquiao, making himself a difficult target and perhaps making Pac Man miss thus setting up the opportunity to “make him pay” as they say in boxing vernacular.

In studying the one fight that may be the closest to what we can expect on May 2 it can be found that Floyd Mayweather, JR., a speedster with fast hands like Pacquiao had much success in landing a left hook as Ricky came forward. Mayweather also was able to land straight right leads on Hatton even early in the fight when Hatton was having some measure of success. However, in that fight Hatton was always appearing to be leading for the head, a mistake as outlined earlier. He must go to the body in hopes of slowing Pacquiao down, an investment that could pay dividends even in this troubled economy if the fight gets into the later rounds.

Hatton’s penchant for cutting is troubling at best in this fight. Pacquiao’s sharp punching will undoubtedly bring forth the flow of blood from Ricky. Hatton is used to this, so his dealing it with it is not a concern, and his corner has proven skillful in keeping the cuts under control. But Pacquiao has shown in the past that he possesses a great killer instinct and is a terrific finisher. If he sees blood, he will attack it and continue to land on the area.

Another troubling aspect of the fight for Hatton is his seeming inability to ‘change up’ or adapt as the fight progresses. Against Mayweather, he was getting hit with the same punches over and over again because he came in the same way every time. In fact, as that fight wore on Hatton stopped moving his head all together and came straight in, again a big mistake as outlined previously. Like Mayweather, Pacquiao will find his niche; that punch that keeps working for him and he will land it as often as the opening presents itself. In this case, given that Pacquiao is a southpaw, it may indeed be the left hook. But in recent fights as Pacquiao has shown improvement in almost every aspect of his style he has become a much better right hand puncher as well. Thus, the straight right is not out of the question for Manny to land with authority as Mayweather did.

The final kink in Ricky Hatton’s armor, and the one that may prove the most


damaging in his quest to defeat the ‘Pound For Pound King’ Manny Pacquiao can be seen in Hatton’s last two fights, against Lazcano and Malignaggi. While seemingly dominant in both fights, Hatton appeared slower of both hand and foot. Perhaps Ricky is showing the wear of too many wars. Perhaps it is the effects of his infamous between fight weight gains. In either case, if he cannot catch Pacquiao with punches or move fast enough to cut off the ring then all will be lost.

Pacquiao, for his part, must attempt to keep the fight in the center of the ring,
something Mayweather did not do effectively. The key to this for Pacquiao will be his foot speed and constant punching. He must keep Hatton turning, off balance and unable to mount an offense. If need be Pacquiao can tie up the rushing Hit Man much as Sugar Shane Mosley did against Antonio Margarito; never allowing the “Tijuana Tornado” to ratchet up his attack.

If Pacquiao is successful in exploiting the weaknesses of Ricky Hatton, and if he punches with the same authority he displayed against De La Hoya, then I see this fight ending inside of nine rounds with Hatton bloodied, dropped, and stopped.

And now up to the ring announcer for the final particulars…..

“Ladies and gentlemen….. the winner.... and new….”

That was a good read... but Pacquiao would have to be as perfect as he was against De La Hoya and Diaz to pull off the fight like that....

I just don't see that kind of perfection against Hatton. Once Pacquiao gets tagged he's gonna lose his patience and start brawling with Hatton. The man "Pacquiao" just loves to get it on.... His speed will likely save him from being roughed up too much once Hatton gets to the inside and by the way tell me, has anyone ever seen Pacquiao resort to clinching? (tie up) I don't think well see him do that as a defensive counter manuever unless he's struggling to recover from taking a big shot. And isn't that Hatton's specially? I'd expect if Pacquiao does that he'll get bitched at in the corner and that won't happen subsequent rounds. These guys are both brawlers improving their game.... so yea, I can see this fight in the first two rounds could be more but I doubt it... after that it's really just anyone's guess as to what really happens... to answer the question, Hatton gets the wrost beating ever from the Pacman win or loose....

Nice read and very unbiased. Wish I could write like that.

[:::PSL:::]

If Malinaggi who is well known to have weak punching power gave Hatton a swollen black eye with jabs in 1st round, then imagine what 300+ straight lefts from Pacquiao would do to him.

[Mark TKO]

I can see Hatton stopping Pac around the 9th via a body shot in what will be an absolute classic - toe to toe warfare


Ricky's face will be a mess by then yes - but should hold out ...


But of the two I give Pac a better chance of beating Mayweather

It's a funny old game.....

You could of at least named it with my full name, with the Y in.. now how can I claim my youtube fame?

That case you just saw has 128 DVD's I have cases and shelves full of fights

As far as me being baised? I have nothing against either fighter, I just think PACMAN is just a little hungrier than Hatton is right now. There is still a lot of time before this fight so anything can happen. I still say Hatton takes a beating. If Paulie Malignaggi was able to touch up Hatton's face I can't even begin to imagine what Pacman might do but it wont be a pretty picture that's for sure.

Come on now, your beyond biased. What proof you got of Margarito beating Cotto with handwraps ? None whatsoever. He beat him fair and square.

Face it...your boy got KNFO by a guy who weren't even in the P4P top ten
