HATTON is already shot in 2009!

Hatton is not shot but he also not prime either. I would characterise Hatton as a fighter on the slide but he is still good enough to be competitive with Pac.

 

Jesus, he has to beat him first doesn't he?

Besides. People were calling Hatton shot after the Lazcano fight, so you're a bit slow on the draw

 

Not in his ladybody fan's minds.

Pac is a great fighter, he is not however able to shoot lazer beams from his eyes and turn lead into gold.

 

Hattons been on the slide since urango.

 

I would agree with that.

 

You sir are a hater, pure and simple :yep:hey

 

I have allot more respect for Hatton than JC also simply for his ambition and having the balls to leave Warren sooner to get the big fights.

 

Silvermags- you and i have been in numerous hatton-pac threads for over a year now and we both know/predict that pac is gonna give ricky a serious beat down. its a nightmare stylistic matchup for ricky and damn near taylor-made style for pacquiao.

you see, haters are gonna hate regardless but they cannot deny the fact that pac continues to step up to plate and face anyone (within means) that deserves a shot.

 

Hatton deserves some credit for beating Paulie the way he did. He fought a perfect fight.

 

All true. Most of this is just Pac hate, very rarely will you find someone who actually has consistency in their posts.

Examples: Pac beat a totally shot Barrera, but Marquez's dubious victory over a slightly younger Barrera was an incredible feat.

Pac beat a shot weight drained Oscar, but PBF's dubuious, marginally (at best) exciting victory over a slightly younger Oscar at a higher weight was the Stuff of Legend.

Morales gloriously, triumphantly (barely, but in their minds easily) beat Pac but was completely shot at the time of the rematch so it doesn't count.

etc etc

The same will be true no matter who Pac fights.

Valero - well he had only faced Mosquera anyways and he was always reckless anybody good would beat him
Hatton - shot. Needed shoe lace break vs Lazcano. Malignaggi couldn't punch at all.
Mayweather - If at a lower weight than 147, weight drained. And, of course, rusty.
Mosley - old. shot.
Guzman - never that great to begin with
Soto - already lost to Soto.
Marquez 3: Shot. Old. Weight too high for Marquez.

Pac has already had a Hall of Fame career. It is OK to have a skeptics eye when evaluating it but only if you have that same skeptics eye across the board, and you just don't see that often, its usually just Pac hate.

People can't stand the fact that Manny Pacquiao is a damn good fighter and quite likely has eclipsed the careers of their favorite modern and recent fighters.

I thought he would lose by KO to Oscar. But I knew and bet he would defeat Morales in the second and third fights, Marquez again (I was surpised how close it was) and Barrera again.

I think he decisions Marquez at 135 especially at 140. I think likely knocks out Hatton anywhere but England where the refs change the game. PBF / Pac is the most interesting fight. I have to favor PBF being able to solve the Pacquiao puzzle although I give Pac a good chance in this fight. I think either man could get KO'd or decisioned. I favor PBF decision as the most likely result but Pac should come in as an underdog and I would bet that way, I feel like he can do it especially at 140 or a catch of 142.

 

I dont think Hatton has slid at all I dont think he was getting alot of training with Graham anymore and he was failing to improve himself while the competiton was getting better. He looked fantastic a few weeks ago in one of his biggest fights ever he was much more crisp,his right hand looked outstanding and he was alot better down the stretch consistently good the whole fight unlike in recent fights where he would fade and struggle late and clinch alot. That said Oscar and Morales in the 3rd fight where shot whatever Morales had left Pac took it in the last 5 rounds of punishment in the rematch. Barrera wasnt at his peak or his best but not shot I think it would be rather hard for Barrera to accomplish what he did after the 1st Pac fight if he where shot cause if beating Juarez,Ayala,Morales,Peden makes you shot well by golly I wanna be shot to.
