How Long Will Pacquiao's Footwork Keep Hatton Off Of Him?

Not recently but the times he's been in trouble and ko'd.

These were swarming guys with body attacks.He almost seemed a little reluctant when guys try to bully him.

Pac is fast but when you're bullied in a rope it doesn't matter.

However I think his footwork and hands have gotten better to the point where he won't get taken advantage of on the ropes.

The times he's been in trouble lately have been with Marquez,who is usually a boxer counterpuncher with great timing.

 

The honest truth?

Forever...The only way Pacquaio can lose is if Hatton doesn't show up and pbf takes his place instead.

 

He'll keep Hatton off him until he knocks out Hatton which will probably be within 5 rounds, so it will be the entire fight, but not a 12 round fight.

:rasta

 

hmm says... enough to win:smoke
but I'm sure Hatton will catch him a few times and Pac will adapt. I'm not ruling Hatton out, just favoring Pac

 

Nah nah nah :nono . . . it's either you have an agenda or dumb for making something out of Graham's stupid insinuation or you're just wanting some attention. :deal

Pac will try to keep Hatton out for the whole fight ????

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

Exactly what I have posted up there . . . "just enough".

. . . anybody who believes that Hatton cannot touch Pac the whole fight and anybody who believes that Pac will try to keep Hatton away for the whole duration of the fight has been watching too much cartoons and doesn't belong to a boxing forum like this. :deal

 

Billy Graham also said that since Floyd was not bigger than Hatton, he could not win. Graham is a fool that wouldn't know the difference between his ******* and an avacado.

 

hmm says... man I still watch cartoons you hurt my feelings hehe:smoke...

 

Do you see Pac taking the majority of the early rounds? Can Hatton beat Manny over 12 rounds if it goes the distance (unlikely)?

 

For Hatton to win by decision i think he would probably have to beat Pac up pretty badly, in which case he would come close to stopping him anyway. Hatton didn't put combinations together particularly well against Malignaggi so i think he will really have to maul Pac and work off clinches to rack up points, as that seems to be the only place he is able to effectively throw in multiples to the body and head. I am pretty unsure of things at the moment, i wouldn't be surprised if the fight turns out to be totally different to how i envision it, though i don't mind as i like both guys so all i am hoping for is some heavy exchanges. But at the moment i am thinking Pac will probably win 3 of the first 4 rounds through a higher punch output and superior handspeed (Hatton has great footspeed and movement but even with Mayweather he walks straight in with minimal head movement). Hatton will probably have some success in the middle rounds but i think he will probably suffer too much damage early to press Manny as heavily as he needs to stop him.

I think the main thing that separates this from a Margarito - Cotto type outcome is the fact that Ricky isn't all that resilient. He has been knocked out and hurt by relatively tame punchers and i also think his inability to punch in bunches will mean he will probably miss opportunities to capitalise on Pac when he is tired.
