I remember reading Roach saying he uses Khan as a speed gauge to see how close, or far off, Manny is to being ready. Or something like that...
This coming from a Kessler butt muncher You concern yourself with keeping the wolves from the door of your igloo:good Not for one second, at any time, did I think that Hatton would or even could beat Mayweather...i've been watching this game for far too long not to recognise hype when I see it, and I see hype in spade fulls in Pacquiao....comparing him to Henry Armstrong, give me a break :-(
Hype? Pacquiao has beaten great great fighters, he deserves hype. Hatton has fought one fringe great fighter that was 35 years old and cheated his way to a win, and got completely destroyed by the other he fought. That IS real hype with nothing to justify it. You might have been watching it a long time but you do need to open your eyes whilst doing so and not just listen to Jim Watt gushing over Hatton trampling over Malignaggi and stumbling to a win against Lazcano. From what I've seen your predictions are awful! :deal
The old bollocks is never far from the surface once you get a little rattled is it? Sit down and play with those stress ball thingies for a couple of minutes.:good I see, in addition to the usual tired old Zoo/ referee comment, the Paulie win has now been relegated to a "trampling"....:roll: Pac has virtually no form above 130, P4P he's a better fighter than Hatton but this fight is at Hattons natural weight and that factor could well prove to be the decisive one.
**** off eskimo boy:thumbsup Pacs performances over the past 18 months are hardly the thing of legend A win over an over-cooked and well done Barrera A gimme/theft against the real P4P #1 An embarrassing win over the worst lightweight champion that I have ever seen An even more embarrassing win over a walking corpse who was too ****ed to even raise a hand whilst taking his beating. Hatton by surprisingly easy and early KO :deal
hatton all the way - he is the best at this weight and his power is just too much for manny. im not a hatton hugger by any means, just dont think pac is unbeatable at such a high weight.
who else feels that the training camps planned it rather short than expected? Hastton may need a longer time in camp, easpecially with a perfectionist as mayweather snr. Hope Hatton does himself justice come fight night.
Hatton is probably right,i would think the sparring sessions are more for Amir`s benifit than Manny`s.
Natural weight That **** is classic. Pacquiao has fought from flyweight to welterweight. The guy is special. Only one dimensional brawlers that are reliant on bullying opponents cry about natural weights and the odd lb here and there. Pacquiao is going to outclass him using footwork, speed and a dynamite left hand. And when Hatton does get close I expect a strong ref in the US that is not going to allow too much bull****. They won't allow Parris a visa.
Perhaps you should put you opinions to the boxing organizations, theres clearly no need for the weight divisions they've been using for the last 50+ years.
I'm just telling you, as JT would say..Pac fights from flyweight to yo' momma weight. He ain't worried. Certainly if Huggy Hatton pulls this one off I won't be on here bitching about weights like HH fans as he slinked back down to junior with his tail between his legs.
