A fighter before Manny fights him is always: Too big, too strong, has the perfect style to beat Pac. A fighter after Manny beats them is always: Weight drained, past his prime, was perfect style for Manny to beat. But underestimating Manny is a good thing in my mind. Before the hatton fight, Hatton's aggression would be something that Manny has never faced and that manny can't fight going backwards. After the fight, people were saying that Hatton's aggression got him knocked out. Even I still have him as an underdog against Mosley, Cotto, or Floyd. It all just adds to the fun of watching Manny fight.
i didnt see paq beating hatton that early but before anyone says that he will beat money may, check yourself. unlike diaz, oscar, & hatton floyd will not be easy to hit, unprepared, wieghtdrained or outclassed. he will be on his a game and that spells trouble for anyone see the corrales fight. if people like zab or oscar or corrales couldnt hit floyd or get many clean shots on him then why would paq? its going to be a great build up, event, & fight but dont expect to see paq hand raised at the end of the night unless theyre checking to see if he is awake from the mental and physical beating that he is going to take
Fair enough. But we also heard when he fought DLH - unlike JMM or MAB, he has as good technical skills and is just far too big with his own speed. No way Pac stands a chance. Unlike Diaz, Hatton is much bigger, much faster and will get inside and punch a lot harder than MAB/JMM/Morales. You never know, Pac defies logic. Each time Pac fights another great fighter, they always have soemthing new to bring to the table, as does Floyd. Thats Pac's part to solve it.
the difference is that Manny is a great southpaw. I respect Money mays ability to evade and frustrate his opponents. Manny can bang and can box.I see the inevitable matchup between these two being a 50/50 fight. I thought the same thing for the Hatton fight. The two better fighters getting it on is good for boxing.Cotto,Mosley and JMM are just waiting in line to fight both these fighters so let the fun and games begin!:good
yea it was obvious that Hatton was being given too much of a chance in this fight, even at his best, he's never been an elite fighter, and certainly not in Pac's league.
before the pbf fight, pbf is too fast, too big, and to technically skilled for pacquaio. after the fight, pbf will be a little too old, lost a bit of his step, and laid too much on the ropes for manny
Thats what I'm saying. The thing is even I think that pbf is too fast, too big, and too skilled. Hopefully Manny will shock us again when the its fight time.
havent you heard? Hatton will not be like DLH who was weight drained, slow..etc...HE is far more stronger, quicker and younger. Pac is getting bulldozed on May 2. unpredictable isnt it?
Funny that before the fight, everyone favoring Hatton is saying that unlike Diaz and DLH, Hatton can fight back and is the bigger guy. Now Hatton is bundled with those guys.
