i pity ignorance. :-( did you know that in the torrecampo fight pac was only 17 yrs old, very raw, very young, and was asked to wear 8 ounce gloves instead of 6 ounces because of coming in overweight? imagine that, pac was inside the ring against an adult! did you know that in the singsurat fight pac was severely weight drained? he lost the fight in the scales, fought despite being so weight drained, didn't fight like himself, was on the defensive the whole fight. after the fight, pac jump from flyweight to super bantamweight. those losses came because of mismanagement.
yes, most definitely and it's a big chance. he took the best shots of mab, morales and jmm w/o going down once unlike them. hatton is not even the hardest hitter @140. he beat a old, past-prime tszyu and castillo was old and virtually shot after his fights w/ corrales.
Against a fighter like Hatton its more a question of fighting the correct tactical fight so that you don't need to have your chin checked. That is very possible if you use the speed and footwork to not let Hatton get in his range. He has very short arms remember. I don't think Hatton is a terrific head hunter anyway. I can't remember too many stunning KO's to a guys chin, except garbage ass Maussa. I'm sure Pacquiao would be more worried about the body, and if I recall correctly one of his KO losses was from a bodyshot.
Guys have boxed with broken hands and won!! You think china chin will stand a chance against Hatton, Zoo quit, Castillo bsted ribs!!
Pac was only defeated before at lower class due to over dehydration... He will destroy Hatton :nut...
True the key to hatton winning this fight his making himself get into range and getting those left handed body shots in and making pac breathing unbearable, because paulie at then end of the night was puffing and blowing because of the body attacks.
Yeah hatton at 140 his fantastic its not oscar who killed himself to get at 147 and looked like death warmed up.
You point out the fact that Pac beat an old Barrera and an old Morales and then brag about Hatton beating an obiviously old Tszyu and a completely shot Castillo. struggled with JMM......Big deal JMM is a great fighter and he still never lost to the man. JMM would give Hatton a lot of trouble and would probaly beat him.
What's funny about that? If JMM can successfully move up to light-welter then he has a very good chance of beating Hatton.
