Hatton was out cold for a few minutes unlike Pac's other victims, and also Wicky had been running his mouth before the fight about this and that.....something that the likes of Diaz and Morales never did....and no doubt there was some resentment there......Pac made a total **** of Wicky.
Hatton was saying "This and that" before the fight?atsch Thats a pretty vague/ unsubstantiated accusation to make of Hatton even by your standards. Hatton-Pac had virtually no trash talking from either side in the build up. Has it got to the point where you're imagining Hatton saying things....?:nut Rickys thinking about retiring while he's still got all his marbles, maybe you should consider doing the same?
maybe because hatton mouthed off saying stuff like he throws punches like an amateur and i can match him for handspeed and my footspeed is way faster
Gaz......read the independant as one example. 'Filipino reporters keep asking me what I think about Pacquiao's power........I say **** off'. 'Wicky 'Atton is a handful' there's a taster for you Gaz......these are facts and what Wicky said.....amd like I said Pac made a total **** of Hatton in the ring, Wicky was giving it large and got knocked the **** out,, especially after the way Wicky had been building the whole thing up. Can you say.....EXPOSED. 'I 'ope Floyd 'its me 'arder than he 'its them fookin pads'
You think any of that constitutes trash-talk? That is was anything Pac hadn't heard before in pro boxing or was likely to offend Pac? Get a grip of this FFS. What are you going to do when Hatton stops fighting? Whinge about his promoting or his clothing lines?
not hateful gaz but when a fighter of hattons calibre says that about pac its like accrington stanley saying they would destroy man utd, and utd would then humiliate them by a 20 - 0 thrashing as did pac had hatton stayed humble in the build up im sure pac would of gone over to pick him up but fatton stopped being humble after he beat the over the hill tszyu ha, goes to show you guys are stilll alll on his balls, that was a pure tester, the real reason pac didnt go over was because hatton was clean out, he needed medical attention and pac aint no paramedic the thread starter obviously aint seen the fight
are you right in the head? Only Hatton talks like that....and only Hatton has failed so spectacularly after talking so much.......the man got beat up and knocked the **** out again :rofl
Sorry but thats just nonsense, the pre-fight was very polite and respectfull on both sides. Outside of Hatton saying he was unbeaten at 140 and that he thought he'd be too strong for Pac (ie. the usual pre-fight type of comments), not a lot else was said and certainly nothing to particulary anger or insult Pac. Hatton could read out his shopping list and some of you guys would manage to take offense somehow...:roll:
I think it's become clear that it's not a good idea to **** Manny off, only 2 people I remember pissing him off before a fight was Morales (admittedly shot) before their 3rd bout and Mayweather Sr before this which was bad news for Hatton.
had you read the part of my post that said THAT WAS A TESTER, you should of realised i was kidding about pac not liking hatton and not going to him because of hattons **** talking hatton was out cold had pac gone over he would have jeopordised hattons health even further, the thread starter obviously didnt watch the fight and gaz you didnt read the end of my post did you
Pac's a gent but Hatton is not. That was evident in the buildup. Pac did not have a bad word to say about Hatton, he neglected to even mention the plethora of flaws he'd later take advantage of. Whilst Ricky giving it the billy big bollocks routine as he did against Mayweather questioned Pac's power, said he's not difficult to find, discredited his wins...blah blah blah.
Hardly **** all in the greater scheme of things where pre-fight hype is concerned though TFFP? The pre-fight for that contest was very quiet and respectful as the build up for pre fights go.
