Several Key British Pundits Are Claiming Hatton Needs To "Keep A Cool Head"

He needs Mickey Vann to let him get away with a dirty, relentless brawl. :yep

 

I think they are asking for controlled rather than reckless pressure.

 

I certainly do.

I dont think cool head means a negative, or less aggressive approach, I think it just means he has got to keep focus. I think although FMJ would still have taken a decision back in Dec 07, a more focused Hatton, less concerned with Joe Cortez, and more about working his opponent the correct way, would have less likely been KO'd. I think the same logic applies against Manny.

 

Hatton cannot box with Pac.

He needs to do what he did against Tszyu.

 

I wonder if the arrival of 25,000 british fans have swayed the betting odds there at Vegas at all.

 

The key here is Floyd Sr. If Hatton and Floyd are not on the same page, It'll be Hatton vs Mayweather all over again. Ricky tends to get caught up in the moment and flustered if things start to swing. Floyd Sr essentially needs to keep him on a leash and only let it go when the time is right. If Hatton's idea is to bowl over Manny for 12 rounds and hope for some relent, it will probably backfire.

 

No but I really think Hatton is on a bit of a slide and his propensity to walk into punches with his head down out of frustration could be an issue when it comes to Pac. Lazcano had Hatton in some **** because Ricky walked in head down going "RAWR HOOK ME!" and lo and behold, hook city. If Hatton walks in like that against Pac he does a nighty nite.

Remember Pac is as fast hand speed wise as Floyd and is hook isn't bad either.
