:good Didn't know you had that in you to say something nice. I'm just used to you calling me a moron.
This fight is going to be a battle of foot speed to some extent IMO. Hatton's nimble feet will be used to try to get inside Pacman from varies angles. Then you have Pacmam's quick feet which enable him to move in and out of distance. It's going to be interesting to see who will prevail in this department. Both guys are incredibly light on their feet.
i'm predicting a pacman win but i'm not counting hatton out. if he can trap manny, and lure him into a slugfest, he has a chance to win. hard body shots will also give manny a trouble.
I absolutely don't think you're an idiot or a moron. It's funny, I apologize if I said that - I actually don't recall thinking or saying that, but if you say I did that's my bad. I see you as a cat who says what he genuinely believes regardless of who agrees with it. That's vitally important here. :thumbsup You're a Hopkins fan (I think), and you openly talk about Calzaghe having won their fight. That's integrity.
Pac is an ever evolving fighter for two reasons......one of them is Freddie, the other one is Roach. The man obviously studies tapes of his fighters opposition. He knew DLH wasnt gonna be able to 'pull the trigger'(so cliche), and he trained PaC to adapt to that. I like Pacman to win, but Im DEF not counting Hatton out. Dude is as tough as they come, and is nowhere near the chump he looked like in the PBF fight.
If its an arm wrestling I would give the edge to Hatton but its not. Hatton cant get inside with Pacquiao without getting hit. There is a risk there and Hatton must take that risk in order to win. I'm just seeing Roach training pacquiao to neutralize Hatton's body shot and punishing him coming in. 3rd round knockout for Pacman.
He wasn't the one holding in the malignaggi fight. He's got skills, but to beat paman he probably will have to wrestle a bit and use his strength to maul him on the inside. forearm, low blow, hook to ribcage type combos, lol.
