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

[XaduBoxer]

IMO this is bad advice from Roach. If you want to beat a Hatton, you gotta fight like or somewhat like FM Jr... going straight for the chin is good for Hatton. This will increase the leverage of his shots, and it means Pac will be coming straight in.

Its gotta be a ploy to psyche out Hatton, saying such things like this. No way is Pac coming straight in. Ricky can tag him good like that.

But the headbutts will be there big time, take my word for it. This could go to the cards early.

PAC can target Hatton's chin when he attacks and he can target it too when Hatton is coming in ala PBF's checkhook... But IMO, PAC will use the straight left or hooks (both left and right) in cracking Hatton's chin...

I'm not sure about who the winner will be but if PAC throws straight punches and moves after he executes, we are looking at cuts on Hatton. I like Hatton but the only way he can truly dominate throughout is if PAC stops going for the chin and goes for the body which would be foolish and he would play right into Hatton's hands. All in all it should be close for the first six rounds and then it is who wants it the most. PAC will be bringing some speed and his will. He's also got momentum from his last fight psychologically and PAC loves the limelight.

Your WAAAAY to confident in your man, Hatton might be past his best but at 140 he has never really looked like losing.

I been watching Hatton fights lately & always seeing the same attack movements from him. He always leans to his left when he attacks. After just 1 rd, I think Pac will time him already & will start hitting hatton with Lead straight left.

I don't know what Floyd sr can do to Hatton but I don't think he can add another inch to Hatton arms. Don't think he can make Hatton faster either. To beat Pac you need to have Speed, defensive skills, counter punching skills, and the CHIN to hold you up. Unfortunately Hatton has only speed but still way slower than what Pac is capable of.

I think you're not giving Hatton as much credit as he deserves. In all fairness pac man and hatton are two very familiar fighters, they both throw punches like crazy, they both hit hard and both can take a good whack.. only Hatton hits harder and Hatton has taken harder whacks. Seriously.. the only advantage Manny has going for him in his fight is his speed.. and even that might not prove useful if Hatton can neutralise it like he's done to many other fighters.

As for Hattons defensive skills... he doesn't get hit too often, he's a little vulnerable to the straights I will admit but if Floyd Snr can get his head movement going again he will be much better prepared.

Honestly, I just wish people would stop writing one of the boxers off before the fight, the main reason the pac fans seem to be getting a bad rep on this forum is because of their blatant biased posts which do nothing but hail pac man as a god. I may be a Hatton fan boy, but at least i'm not afraid to admit his bad points and praise his opponents for their good points.

I'm not writing hatton off, I just don't see him being effective with Pac's style. Hatton can catch Pac with one big one. But if you look at the history of both fighters, Pac has improved a lot & gets stronger. Hatton didn't show a big improvement in his game lately.

Hatton's defense has slightly improved and Pacquiao still gets hit, Hatton still has his stamina, is the naturally stronger guy at 140 and honestly the only advantage i give to Pacquiao is speed and he has better straight punches, that said its almost a 50/50 fight

The experts Put DLH a 2;1 Favorite over Pac. I predicted that fight as a Domination by Pac. And i end up exactly right.

This Pac-Hatton is no 50-50 fight. Pac-PBf is the 50-50 fight. Pac-Jmm will be 55-45 fight. Pac hatton is a 70-30 fight in favor of Pac. Hatton is not in the same level as Pac, JMm & PBF.

Pac still gets hit, but not the much anymore. He received not 1 scratch nor a mouse in his last 2 bouts. Now about Hatton's stamina, Pac will surely test him in that area. The guy who slows downs first and can't keep up will difinitely lose. However, if Hatton lands a perfect liver shot which imo Pac's kryptonite, then the fight is over. But in reality, chances of Hatton executing that perfect punch against fighter like Pac is like threading a needle 2 feet away from his face (no magnifying glass in between ), and will likely take some punishment while doing it so.

60/40 Pac advantage. Speed still kills. And that is my unbiased opinion.

They are both come forward fighters. My main concern about this fight is the headbutt (intentional or unintentional). I would hate it if Pac loses, but I would hate it more if we get NC, ND, or DQ result.

[XaduBoxer]

PAC doesn't hit that hard as what Hoya proclaimed after he was annihilated by PAC in 8 one-sided rounds... but PAC has the capability to re-arrange one's face with his excellent speed and moderate power that could still result to a worst beating ever...

[XaduBoxer]

Another reason why PAC would end Hatton early...

Coach Freddie Roach, PAC's trainer said: “We’re going to knock him (Hatton) out in three rounds...I told Manny that if it goes past three rounds, I’d be mad at him.”

I always think that if a boxer just throw some punches then he has some chances of winning... I don't totally write off a boxer unlike some posters here who says "so and so has no chance at all" at some match-ups they perceived as mismatches... I didn't write off Hatton, he has a slim chance of winning...

When this fight was finally signed, it's my own personal opinion that PAC will probably inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton based on PAC's record of inflicting the worst beating on some boxing legends... At this point, I consider Hatton not a boxing legend (yet)... That opinion is also based on the big advantage of PAC in the speed department and big advantage in the reach department...

Man this is a giant thread on whether one fighter will bust another fighter up... I think the angst from the zillion other Pac threads has just accumulated into this big mother of a thread..

Personally the chin is a good idea, Straight lefts through Hattons guard all night.. If Pac is moving in and out all night and turning him I see Pac being in control for about 60% to 70% of the fight... If Hatton is up I think the percentage will be the same, just controlling the fight by that extra 10% or 20% until something budges..
