For **** sake people hatton has had 1 KO by the pound for pound best fighter in the world at a weight class above his own. Diaz is a **** fighter. Hatton went toe to toe with kostya tszyu which i think everyone is too quick to forget. Im not a hatton fan or nuthugger, i judt think stupid threads like this have no place in a serious boxing forum.
is this not the same serious boxing forum where people discuss mythical match ups between feather weights vs super middle weights+ ? -please box3R you dont like thread = bounce... diaz & hatton are 1 weight class apart not to mention similarities in style & mentality, "take 1 to give 1". and since hatton is fighting pac, is it really a stuipid to mention & compare theyre past recent opponents? granted hatton is a world class fighter as diaz was just a B-class wbc champ but were not talking about them fighting each other.. its a simple question of chin. and you bring up KT as if hatton just fought him last year. are you aware that ricky is on the decline not to mention KT was as well at the time ricky fought him? (prime KT stops ricky whether you like it or not)
that 1 wobbly moment was from a 15 month inactive handpicked former lightweight. and diaz would have recovered from that blow as well..
Lazcano would beath the pants off diaz.. Hattons chin is fine, but anyone is susceptable to getting hurt or tired after sustained blows (mayweather) especially while not executing the game plan(jumping in recklessly) With Floyds master plan, you will expect to see that pacman left missing more than you think, with counter and lead rights by hatton on the outside, and him bustin his body and shooting short uppercuts on the inside.. Hatton Tko rnds 9-12... Book it
juan would beat diaz but surely wouldnt stop him. hattons chin is fine but not more solid than diaz'.. you talk of floyds master plan as if you gotta blueprint.. ricky said himself that he's not gonna re-define himself but set up his combos with his jab, work on his head movent and polish up on what he already has. did you see a huge change in rickys style in the paulie fight?
gee, didnt see a need to go nuts of paulie(golem) i mean rick did get the stoppage anyway.. Hopefully we will see more @ the pacman fight, which i think we will with hattons extended camp he is having for the fight(3 months i think?)
and abc is simple as 123... avoiding the big left is inevitable. rickys gonna eat alot of leather to land one. hatton will stalk pac hard for the 1st couple of rounds but all those sharp punches will take a toll and before you know it he'll be resorting to the old hook & hold hitman.
lol, and if Hatton gets to the body while he gets in there the first couple rounds might be all hatton needs to land some telling body blows, and take away some of that darting footwork Pacman has.. Honestly its a pickem for me...
hatton is definitely the better fighter of course... bout we are talking bout chin... i say diaz has the edge.
~POP QUIZZ ENZO!!! name a fighter diaz fought in which had power & tagged him to validate your pick........ within a timely matter please...
