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

[XaduBoxer]

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.

More bad news for Team Hatton ...

Pacquiao knocks down sparmate with body shot

April 12, 2009, 5:19pm

Alex Ariza raved so much about the current condition of Manny Pacquiao that the conditioning coach could not come up with anything bad about the progress of the Filipino fighter’s training for the May 2 showdown with Ricky Hatton.

“He’s a juggernaut,” Ariza told the Bulletin yesterday from Los Angeles. Ariza has been presiding over Pacquiao’s strength training at the Wild Card Boxing Club the past several weeks that there’s no doubt in his mind that Pacquiao would prove one thing come fight night.

“Manny’s lethal at this weight division (140 lbs) and he’s going to show that he’s the stronger guy,” said Ariza when told about the common knowledge among aficionados that the British bomber packs more power.

“I will not go as far as saying what Freddie (Roach) said about a third-round knockout but Manny’s been unstoppable right now.” On Saturday afternoon (yesterday morning in Manila), Pacquiao went 10 rounds with three sparring partners, according to Ariza, who supervises Pacquiao’s morning roadwork, his nutrition and plyometrics session, a high-grade form of calisthenics.

“Manny had four rounds with Urbano Antillon, then three with (Raymond) Serrrano and three with David Rodela, who went down from a body shot.” Ariza said Pacquiao weighed 149 lbs last week and “had a 6.75 percent body fat.”

“(Making) the weight (limit of 140 lbs) will not be a problem and we’ll make sure that he even gets to eat on the day of the weighin,” said Ariza, brushing off suggestions that game meat should be included on Pacquiao’s diet.

“We’re sticking to the things that we’re used to.” Meanwhile, Hatton is also deep in training in Las Vegas under Floyd Mayweather Sr.
