Hattons only chance at victory is a solid game plan by Floyd Sr or he catches something hard on pacs chin...IM NOT A PAC FAN! I just favor pac in this fight by late round ko 10-12!
Beg to differ. Manny will win because he is just the better boxer. Ricky has the size advantage and is pretty fast but Manny has power and unlike Urango, he will land. Ricky's chin is bad in my opinion and his defense sucks. One thing about Ricky that he does that is unmatched as far as his style goes is his pressure. You can't get sparring partners who can pressure like Ricky does. Ricky has this unwieldy head movement jump in and out style and throws awkward punches. I think that is the factor in the fight, if Pacquiao can get past that, easy Knock out. Ricky's pressure is dangerous and I hope Freddie and Pacquaio know that.
I'm not solid on the pick, but IMO this could be similiar to Cotto vs. Margo. Pac will be moving in, out, landing but Hatton will keep coming and keep coming, eventually wearing down the Pacmeister. ODH was a damn Zombie in there. Pac did his job and looked spectacular and I have to admit I LOVED it. But I don't expect Hatton to be no damned slow-mo Zombie.
margo landed a total 237 of 647 power shots against cotto. if manny lands half of that its curtains for the hitman.
I'm picking Pacquaio to win . . . but it's a 50/50 fight. One . . . Hatton is a regular 140 pounder and has shown strength in this weight class. Two . . . Hatton is still in his prime. Three . . . Hatton can resort to roughing tactic just like he did to KT where Pac is at a disadvantage.
Fact: Hattons only loss is to the best fighter of the past 10 years and it wasn't at 140 where Hatton lives and breathes. Hatton hits harder than ANY fighter Manny has faced. Pac's body hasn't been hit in years to the extent Hatton will test it. If the Hatton that fought Kostya shows up your 'easy' fight comment go well out the window. I'm picking Hatton to win 51/49, thats how close I've got it, and I'm not a Hatton fan btw. But if people think it'll be an easy fight you're delusional.
Manny's 'Power' shots couldn't take out a zombie ODLH yet they're going to KO the best 140lb'r on the planet are they?? Right......
a handpicked, 15 month inactive, blown up lightweight had ricky on ***** st and almost KTFO him, nooooo? - yESSSS
no problemo. lazcano had ricky on ***** st and thats a fact, jack. not only is manny quicker to the draw, he has argueably the same or more power than juan. and nobody can deny that pacs one the top fierce finishers in the sport. SPORT.
Hattons best play: Vs Tszyu: clinching tactic prevents his bomb to land Vs Castillo: body pounding stopped him if both style will employ by Hatton, he is a 100% winner here. But the big Q is, can he catch the speeding pac? LUCKY PUNCH is the only winning weapon for Hatton (expect it from round 1 to 6) should the round extend to another half, the accumulation of straight hooks and heavy body punch will tear down the great Hatton.
1. Urango did trouble Hatton to a degree, but he hits a hell of a lot harder than Pacman.I personally don't see Pac keeping Hatton honest. Fatton will walk Pacman down. 2. Hatton could be a stylistic nightmare for Pac, it depends on what he will do when Hatton tries to turn it into a wrestling match, as he did with KT. If Pac can outbox him on the inside, he should be able to win, but I can't see it happening. 3. Unless he has faded, Hatton will be the toughest fight of Pac's career to this point. He is a natural JWW and has fought decent competition at WW. Forget Pac's fight with DLH. Pretty Girl coudn't even pull the trigger. 4. Hatton's body attack will be the start of the end for Pac, it will be something totally new for him to be hit with that type of force.
