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

[Gandalf]

Final thoughts:

"I'm the bigger and stronger guy..."
- Remains to be seen but to add, bigger and stronger doesn't always win fights...

"This is my house, I'm unbeatable at 140..."
- No one is unbeatable...

"People were reading too much on Manny's last fight..."
- Team Hatton was also reading too much in that fight. All they saw was a punching bag in Hoya... Big mistake...

Bigger and stronger is a plus.

He's pretty good at the weight, and that kind of mind view can only be a plus.

People are reading too much into Manny's last fight. And that will show in this one.

From losing to Marquez to destroying Oscar. It was the same Manny Pac in both of those fights. He's beatable.

who you trying to convince miles, us or yourself? lol

kidding aside, i believe hatton will bring his a-game to this fight and will give pac something to think about in the early rounds. that's why he has to connect and put some damage to manny while he can coz i can see him being clocked time and again. it will be rough and tumble in the early goings but once pac starts to connect on a regular basis, i think hatton will throw caution to the wind and forget all sr. has taught him and reverts to his former style. this is where it gets interesting. he could either catch pac with some good ones, especially to the body but team pac has trained well for that and will have to receive several of it to take its toll. pacquiao, imo has grown into this division and can take heavier blows since he willingly lets his bigger sparring mates hit him from time to time without flinching. i don't think ricky can catch manny enough and i think he'll get stopped between the 6th and 9th round either from a punch that he wouldn't be able to see or due to cuts.

I know, I know.

Saddoboxer posts too much, it's almost like an obligation to counter all his anti Hatton/pro Pac propaganda.

I hate the wait after the weigh in, I just want to see them go at it now.

Just came back from a 3-day conference. My prediction for this fight: Pac will stop Hatton before the 6th round.

[XaduBoxer]

Even if it's only a few punches and so short of a fight, I think that's the worst beating ever on Hatton...

Hope Ricky can recover well...

[Gandalf]

Pac did indeed inflict the worst ever beating on Ricky Hatton.

A horrible, horrible fight for Ricky and a punishing ending to boot.

For a good two hours after the fight I was barely able to speak. I was mortified by what I saw. And I just hope Ricky is okay.

I don't think that was the best Ricky Hatton I have seen. He had no guard, no headmovement, no jab, and most importantly he wasn't being smart.

I'm not making excuses as we can all see those things quite clearly. Hatton was in his weight class and got beaten down quickly.

Well done to Manny Pac in doing something quite stunning.

And, bruce lee, let me know what my avatar is to be and I will put it up for an entire month.

thats how hatton fight right?

nothing really changed really, cause even if you teach him what to do he will eventually go back to the old hatton cause of pacs speed. i mean what can a guy do if ur being pummeled by a hundred punches you cant just cover up and hope that the combos from pac will end cause it wont.

Yes, but these are the things he has been touting for a year now and none of it was on display.

Maybe it was just Manny that made him look bad, but he really looked shockingly poor. I've never seen Hatton look like that.

Even the likes of David Diaz have managed to hang in there. It makes me think that Hattons chin has left him high and dry. The very fact that it took him so long to get up from the knock out blow, tells us that his chin is shot. The first meaningful blow and he seemed to be panicking and next thing you know he's down twice and clearly very rattled...and it's just round 1!

Manny did an excellent job, but I'm puzzled by Hattons performance. It really was very odd.

yeah miles i think hatton just did a roy jones on us, chin was shot big time....


kudos to hatton fans for taking the loss well!

[Pugilistic]

After that KO no one can deny that Pacquiao inflicted the worst beating on Hatton.

It was scary as hell seeing him not moving and gasping for air like that. His eyes were gone. It was horrible and left a really sickening feeling in my stomach. He was down for ages, must have been a few minutes.

It's very, very disappointing that it turned out like that. I think the difference between the two is that Manny is able to carry out his plan and not get too flustered when faced with resistance. Hatton on the other hand gets reckless and everything seems to go out the window.

It's a shame for Hatton, but Manny is obviously turning out to be very special so I have no ill feelings.

What's done is done.

[gargoyle]

maybe it was the noise, singing british fans that boosted his confidence and underestimated the power of pac's punches...instead of a fighting plan, like what he paid floyd mayweather for, he brawled like he used to fight taking off his guard...

[mnmc10]

no man, hatton and mayweather had a plan. pacs style is really easy to decipher. pac only adds a little in every fight he takes, like the right hook it was there since morales. but what gets them is how fast pac is, hatton thought he is as fast and stronger than pac thats why he wasnt covering up all he wanted to do was counter pac and go in for the body punches.

hatton just went back to his old self cause he has no choice. he cant block most of pacs punches he cant clinch that much when he did pac held hattons head then smacked it with his right glove. heck hatton was covering up and the last punch pac threw on the 1st round went right through hattons gloves.


aside from super human abilities pac is p4p cause he listens and follows roach advice.

ive watched this fight for the tenth time local channels here in PI replayed it a gazillion times already. the more i watch it the more i see what really happened hatton no matter what he does will eventually get kod by pac. and the way hatton went down was really bad, right after the ref stopped the fight pac instead of celebrating right away just walked towards hatton similar to what he did to diaz.

from the moment pacs glove made contact with hattons chin pac knew that its over and he knew that hatton was really hurt. it showed genuine concern on pacs side thats why he didnt celebrated right away..

and yes though short pac indeed inflicted the worst beating on hatton.

[KananKrus]

Pacquiao sure inflicted the worst beating ever on Hatton, not only physically but emotionally as well. Manny's baffling speed make the great fighters look past their prime when confronted with it, Ricky's turn was last night.

De la Hoya had his, and the rest of the hall of fame batch of fighters before.

Hard to imagine this phenomenon happening right before our very eyes and ironic only the "Pac-nuthuggers" understand and unthinkably, GET IT!

[Master]

Shocked at this result, just cannot believe it. That Manny Pac is something special to do that to Hatton. No excuses.

[:::PSL:::]

I'm glad I voted "YES".

This thread made sense after all. I'm glad they didn't lock it.

Well done Saddoboxer!
