What Hatton will do to Pacquiao May 2nd...

[Killa From Manila]

That happened over 10 years ago. But you know what though?...

This happened just less than a couple of years ago...



Priceless!

What a ridiculous comparison - the guy who knocked out Pacquiao through a good body punch, like Hatton does. Mayweather is a defensive counter-puncher who was too scared to go toe-to-toe with Hatton, whereas Pacquiao is going to stand toe-to-toe with Hatton like he did with Marquez and Morales and he is going to get hit a lot more than Mayweather did. And even Mayweather, elusive as he is, almost got put on the canvas in the opening rounds when Hatton caught him.

In the opening round when Mayweather stumbled backwards was because he lost his footing not because Hatton caught him. I hope you don't think that jab landed hard enough to stun Mayweather. Never once in that fight did I think Mayweather was hurt or in trouble.

I was routing for Hatton in that fight too so I was already looking to aggrandize anything Hatton landed..

I think JLC hurt Floyd real good with the body shot. And also, Judah knocked him down but the ref didn't see it.

And anyone of you guys who have any boxing experience,I'm sure most of you don't,knows that a check hook is not a power punch its thrown from the shoulder not the legs,and that punch knocked hatton out. I think mannys straight left down the pipe is harder than floyds check hook. And that punch that ricky threw when he got knocked out leaves him wide open for mannys blazing left hand too

Nothing to do with Hatton falling head first into a the ring post then?

Mayweather was just off balance in the first round. A jab landed, but that weren't the problem, Mayweather was moving back. Similar to round one of David Haye v Enzo Maccarinelli, Haye stumbled back, not because of a punch though. A punch never even landed.

What hatton will do to pac on may 2nd.................try to stalk him,hit and hold him,hopefully joe cortez will be the ref,he aint having that bullshit,follow manny around the ring taking crisp nasty punches while having his eyes swelled shut and cut up,possibly have his nose broken,before the ref stops the fight,or he eats a straight left from manny and end up on the mat,that's what rick will do to pac on may 2nd.

You don't even know which ref has been appointed? It's Bayless, a proper referee. Why the fuck you want Cortez to ref the fight?

Mayweather was toe to toe with Hatton most of the fight, he wasn't in the in the middle of the ring but on the ropes where Hatton is best, and Hatton still wasn't landing the best shots. Don't kid yourself into believing that Mayweather was truly trying to stay away from Hatton that fight, he wanted to beat Hatton on the inside which is why he hardly used lateral movement.

If by standing toe-to-toe you mean clinching and rubbing his elbows in Hatton's face because he was too scared to actually fight him, then yeah, I agree. I'm not taking anything away from Mayweather - he had his tactics, and they worked. However, that doesn't change the fact he was afraid to catch one from Hatton. You could see the shock in his eyes when Hatton nearly knocked him down, and from then on it was elbows galore. And if you want to kid yourself and sweep all that under the rug, and say he was happy to trade shots with Hatton, then quite frankly you've left the land of bias and entered the land of delusion.

Are you guys gettin upset cuz hatton got roughed up a little!? After all the fights he's won by using the same tactics,and floyd did nowhere near what rick usually does,he was just in over his head with a stronger,faster,and most importantly smarter fighter and he got his ass handed to him. And he didn't almost DROP floyd, getting DROPPED is what happened to ricky,if floyd would have went down on that punch which did no damage it would have been an official knockdown,but in the boxing world when we say someone got DROPPED we mean they got dropped like a sack of potatoes

what's your dad/grandads name?

[Beanz]

I am a Massive Hatton fan so may be a little biased but I really think the Hitman can pull this one off. Pacquiao fans, the bookies and the boxing press all have this down as an easy win for Manny partly due to his one sided demolition of Oscar De la Hoya. Oscar was shot at the weight and offered little or no resistance, throwing nothing in return. Light-Welterweight (140 lbs) is Ricky's division and he will be comfortable at this level standing toe to toe and coming forward throwing bigger and harder punches, (particularly to the body) than Pacquiao has ever had to deal with. The Pacmans coach Freddy Roach is predicting a third round KO, but if his fighter tries to get into a brawl with Ricky and not outbox him he will be in a lot of trouble. I think that Hatton will have improved his defence even more since the Malinaggi fight and against someone who doesn't run around the ring it will be more evident. He will have to watch out for the Pacman's fast left hand and keep working on punishing his arms so that when the Pacman drops them he can slip in and deliver the same devastating left hook that finished Castillo and numerous other opponents. I can't wait, hopefully Ricky can prove along with Froch on Saturday and David Haye in June that British boxers can compete with the best in the world.

None of you business fagster

Right.. so your Grandad and Dad were pros but you can't name them?

[Fenster]

Never said my dad was a pro said he was a fighter,amatuer fighter and current trainer of pros and amatuers,my grandfather was a pro in the 50's but I'm not about to say on here so u hatton fags can send anthrax to my house after pac destroys ricky

SO.. your dad wasn't even good enough to be a pro? What pros does he currently train?

And you're CLEARLY not very proud of your Grandad's career? Why is that?

[Fenster]

Emmanuel steward was an amatuer boxer and never turned pro and I'd say he's a pretty good trainer,u obviously know shit about boxing fagster,and I told you I'm not giving you my family name so u can send a pipebomb or something to my door just read my posts and try to learn something about boxing

OK

Just name the pros he trains?

It's not a great idea to run around a boxing forum calling fighters "bum" when you claim to come from a boxing family... they sure better be good.
