Did Anyone Hear Mayweather Snr's Corner Advice?

I kind of agree with you.. maybe Mayweathers game plan would have been effective, but not the way Ricky Hatton could have done it. I think he still would have gotten beaten but had a better chance if he had just bulldozed in like the old days.. it's like he was a deer in the headlights trying to not fight his old style while not being able to pull off the new style either so neither was effective.

 

I think that's what Smitty meant when he told Freddie Roach in the final week that he had the same qualities as the all time great trainers, because Freddie doesn't try and alter a fighter or make him something he is not. The only thing Mayweather Sr should have been working with Hatton on was better ways to protect himself and new strikes and manuevers for his natural style. Instead Mayweather Sr, who had no respect for Hatton's methods to begin with, tried to do a complete makoever on a guy who was at the time 45-1.

 

He needed too and practiced it in training camp only to not use it.

 

Wrong smilie..it should be :| (since you've begun the first stage of detox after seeing your great predicition fly out the window in 2)..

 

:rofl

I remember seeing that live.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... (5 seconds later) rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

LOL.

 

To a certain extent that's true, but the amount of time spent on the outside, the intensity, and the committment to the attack was ENTIRELY different. You'd be surprised what difference a moments hesitation can make in this sport. Maybe you should watch some tapes, like I have. That should clear this up for you. Every extra exchange where Hatton spent each momentary second outside was fatal. Seconds and a small handful of resets in a fight lasting only minutes may not be very eye catching, but if you look closely I GUARANTEE you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. You've already got me wondering about this though because you say you can't recall Hatton doing well (scoring/getting through), so maybe you oughta watch this fight again for clarification sake.

 

You must be one of the BITCHES who lost a BAN BET with me, right? :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Hatton's punch resistance has dwindled, so no tactic would've worked in this fight.

Walking onto Pac's, and I quote 'hardest punch I have ever thrown' didn't do him any favours either :rofl

Hatton kinda' peaked around the time of Tszyu-Maussa....still a great win for Pac, but Hatton is a bit past his best IMO.

 

So it's his fault?

No ****, bud.

 

what fight? Oh this fight:

There's only one Ricky Hatt...:dead

 

Agreed. Like I said in a different thread; once Pacquiao knew he could hurt him he was finished. A different tactic would have likely bought Hatton more time to try and do some damage of his own however, and it's not like he had no chance of hurting Pacquiao.

 

Yep :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
