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

... please don't encourage Saddoboxer. He'll start 57 new threads on the subject.

(seriously....)

Its an interesting subject. Raw garlic maybe?

Let me put it this way... If SB has seen fit to plug Pac for a list of the world's most influencial people, if he sees your post he's sure to lobby for a new Food Network Channel program, starring "you-know-who" and his ethnic recipes.

We can start talking about PAC's food when he retires at the end of this year... Just like how George Foreman sells his Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine...

Hi Saddo,

Just seen your post about Pac's sparring partner Gary Young. Is this the British sparring partner whose name Freddie Roach could not remember but "was a good kid, a top contender in his own country"? I hope not, have you seen the guy's record, he has never beaten a figther with a record of more wins than losses (see below)

Gary Young


Another bit of Camp-Pac hype maybe... Are you sure that you don't work for them?

You are probably right, he tends to skip over posts that he can't explain or turn around in pac's favour.

Sorry Mr. Paul, I missed your post...

Yep, that's probably the kid... The kid doesn't really have a good record but he's bigger than PAC... And PAC did just that... busted his nose in sparring...

But mind you, it's a very important experience for the kid... An experience that the kid can't get in an actual fight inside the ring in the next year or so... That sparring session is priceless and taught some very good lesson for the kid...

After watching his fight vs Collazo I have certain doubts. I hope Mayweather Sr. has seen that fight carefully to adjust certain things in Hatton's defense. Collazo doesn't hit as hard as Pac and did some damage to Hatton. Imagine if those punches were coming from Pac .

The few body punches that Pac started receiving vs Marquez on the second fight during round 8 seem to do its thing. Hatton is a better, faster, and more effective body puncher. Imagine if those punches came from Hatton.

Hhhhhmmmm...I see some pros/cons with each of them. Can't really say much about defense. Reason why BOTH end up with cuts, bloody faces, etc. after almost every fight.

I want Hatton to win all the way but I somehow give Pac the slighter edge .

Freddie Roach thoughts on PAC-Hatton fight:

"To stand in front of Ricky, that's not our plan. The best way to fight Manny is the way [Juan Manuel] Marquez fought him. I expect Ricky to be better than Oscar was at this point. He is younger, fresher."

"We'll make the weight a lot easier. Then again Ricky will be the bigger guy. But bigger and stronger does not win fights."

"Manny's abilities to bounce laterally are key. Yes, he feared Oscar for three rounds. The bigger, stronger guy. If you stand in front of Ricky Hatton, he'll have success."

"We can't use the exact same strategy as we did against Oscar. Hatton is more adaptable. And maybe he won't be so aggressive against Manny. Maybe he will have been instilled with things from Floyd Mayweather."

"I know how to fight Manny Pacquiao, and what styles trouble him. Boxers don't give him trouble. Marquez, yes, but he's just smart.

He goes with the flow. Thinks his way through."

"Manny's not like that. Ricky's not like that. Ricky gets hit - he wants to fight. Manny gets hit - he wants to fight. They revert back to what the do best. If you hit Manny, he claps his hands together and away he goes."

"Ricky - I respect him. His Dad - I respect him. They are great people. I have nothing against Floyd, but he likes to make poems up about me. "

I just can't picture Hatton fighting like Marquez. No freaking way. Hatton is a come-forward-I-don't-care-what-will-happen-next fighter, and he will get a lot by most Pac's power shots.

Hatton has exercised caution and ability to fight smart numerous times, especially prior to the Kostya bout. Since then he has been too gung ho, but has showed glimpses of his boxing skills. For the opening rounds against Urango Hatton boxed quite beautifully, a shame the second half wasn't so fun but Hatton was sick prior to the fight. We saw echoes of that against Paulie too, however it was Malignaggi spoiling with the holding this time.

Hatton can box when he sets his mind to it, and his mindset seems headed that way. I personally want to see smart boxing, but also really taking it to Manny when the opportunities present themselves.
