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

[XaduBoxer]

More bad news for Team Hatton:

Pacquiao’s main sparring partner Urbano Antillon is a good technical fighter who punished the “Pacman" to the body frequently during sparring days, a technique Hatton has been known for following his “single shot to the body" wins over Luis Collazo and Jose Luis Castillo.

Ariza doesn’t see Pacquiao suffering the same fate against the “Hitman" from Manchester, England.

“Urbano is such a technician to the body," said Ariza. “If you can handle Urbano for five rounds going to your body, then not even flinch, then Hatton can’t bring anything Manny hasn’t seen in this camp."

“Watching him these last few weeks with his sparring partners, he’s literally hurting them every time he gets them."

Single shot to the body win against collazo?? Wrong, i'm gonna guess that this is just information leaked from a hole that it shouldn't have....

Actually they're overhyping some of Hatton's credential to try to close the odds... PAC now at -280 and Hatton at +200... The odds keep widening as the fight gets closer day by day...

If you read the original article, this guy is a "conditioning" expert.

Hatton should be ready for Pacquiao, says coach Ariza

He should have many many better things to do than count out hattons body punching. Ha. There is no way that all the sparring, regardless of Antillon (who won't pose any where *near the same threat as hatton), will prepare him for hatton.

Haha, that looks pretty good man. The graphics have come along a bit. Still looks a bit rigid though and not much closer to looking realistic. Thats why its a computer game i guess, and its no substitute for the real thing come fight night. Theres no substitute for the real thing and having the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. I doubt i'll see a computer game provide that in my lifetime.....

Nice one for that Miles. I have to agree wth Pendarvis, I really do think Pacman will be shocked by Ricky Hatton. I read in an article this mornin that Pac isn't going to come in any heavier than 148, so i'm guessin they are puttin all their eggs in the speed basket. They're gonna be so shocked at how quick Hatton is really.

Nice read there, thanks mate. Need to spread some rep before I rep you again though...

I must confess I'm starting to get more and more nevous about the fight but that article has gone some way to restoring my faith in Hatton. I always get doubts leading up to a big fight!

According to former undisputed cruiserweight champion and heavyweight title challenger David Haye, Manchester's Ricky Hatton will need to put out the best performance of his life to defeat Manny Pacquiao on May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Haye does not agree with Hatton's mindset of Pacquiao "being too small" to make a dent at junior welterweight. Hatton believes that Pacquiao's win over De La Hoya was a fluke because Oscar was weight drained. He says Manny will meet the biggest fighter of his career next Saturday night.

"If Ricky can beat the best pound-forpound fighter in the world, that will be a mammoth achievement. A lot of people think Pacquiao is small, but this guy is the real deal," Haye told UK's The People.

The biggest and best performance of Hatton career came in 2005, when he stopped Kostya Tszyu after eleven rounds of action. Haye says the Tszyu performance is not good enough to beat Pacquiao. Hatton needs to be better.

"Hatton needs to fight better than he did against Tszyu to get the win. I'm told Ricky was in fantastic shape when he got to training camp and I don't think he's peaked too early. If Hatton is ever going to beat Pacquiao it is now," Haye said.
