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.

So are you saying you're gonna give Pac some credit IF he beats Hatton then?... No "Pacquiao beat up another weight drained and past his prime fighter" excuse?

I will only give Pac some credit if Saddoboxer was right on his prediction.

WTF??

Hatton is 30 years old just stopped the 140 ranked number two fighter and is the best at 140 lbs in the world and Pac beating him you dont think its much of an accomplishment, Hatton has been beaton once in his life against probably the best fighter the World has seen in the past 15-20 years. Hatton is fine hes no way near shot only fighters who beat Hatton now are elite fighters hes world class and beats also every fighter in and around his weight class, Pac wins it adds only to his legacy. I actully thought that Hatton had lost a bit of hunger prior to the Paulie fight but i think it was actully Billy Graham who put Hatton in that posistion and with Floyd senior you can see Ricky has his spring back and looks pretty fresh.

I think the reason with the puffiness is the fact he looses alot of weight in a short period of time that is a slight worry but other than that i think this version of Ricky Hatton is just as good as any Ricky Hatton we have seen.

Whatever dude. I'm just basing my opinions on these 2 great fighter's last 3 fights. And I think Ricky is already on the other side of the mountain.

Anyways, I just don't want any lame excuses come May 3. That's all.
