That's nonsense. He opens up more on the weaker opponents who have nothing to offer him, as is the case with any boxer. When he's consistently pressed or made to be uncomfortable, his workrate and overall effectiveness drops, as he goes into a more defensive/thinking mode where he tries to take the least punishment possible while looking to counter with single (but clean) shots. That style works against what he's been up with thus far (as he's never really faced someone that's ever been able to push him outside of Castillo, and we saw how that went), but if he were to have ever faced a Duran type or any elite pressure fighters at the higher weights, we'd have seen that, regardless of his intelligence, he just didn't have the ability to beat the highest level past a certain weight (that weight being 130).
No. Pac's clearly shown he has the footwork, skills, in and out movement, punch picking/variety, and poise to be considered a skilled boxer/puncher rather than just a power swarmer, as he used to be. Hatton on the other hand, while bigger and stronger than Pac, is less skilled and more limited in his approach. Pac is the more versatile fighter, even if I do think Hatton could still be a bad matchup for him at 140.
pacman has only really shown it in the last couple of fights Hatton has showed in and out movement in some of his other fights - ben tackie he was in and out.
well that is ur opinion...if u have to bring duran into it and fantasy matchups then u can say whatever u want ...the fact still remains that noone can beat him and noone has forced him to throw combos
he hit Gatti with a 10 punch combination. hit Corrales with like 7 in a row, Hatton took like 13 in a row in the 8th round. gets nasty
so me saying PBF can throw 5-6 punch combos as good as anyone in boxing is nonsense????? lol how does he not have the ability to win at weights over 130...he has beaten everyone in front of him...he can't fight pea and duran..they are retired
He's an amazing boxer, I just wish i saw the floyd who beat hatton and corales a bit more often because it was a pleasure to watch, even though he beat hatton.
