On "the scene" Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz believes Hatton doesn't have what it takes skill wise to beat Pacquiao. He goes on to say that Hatton's style plays into the hands of Pacquiao and that Pac can expose and beat him.
Is anyone in the boxing world picking Hatton? Seems like a lot of guys in the biz are putting their money on Pac.
I was thinking the same thing guys. In Diaz's defense though he showed more discipline in his last fight against Katsidis.
It's funny because what he says Pac will do to Hatton is what Marquez will do to him. Does he think that he's one dimensional too and that Marquez will out box him?
Either Diaz is naive and oblivious or he's very smart and clever by making these statements. Like I said in his last fight he was more disciplined than he normally is and maybe that was a sign of how he'll perform in future battles. I however would be disappointed if that were the case because I do enjoy watching his come forward, high work rate style without clinching that we've been accustomed to seeing.
Interesting remarks by Diaz. :blood The only thing, however, that "plays into the hands" of a fighter like Pacquiao is standing right in front of him. If it wasn't for the fact that Manny jumps out of his shorts like a little girl who saw a spider every time an opponent launches in I might know what the **** he's talking about. This is a bad style matchup for Pacquiao. PURELY. Please quote me on that.
he may be one dimensional but hes so good at it, it doesnt matter. hard to find many fighters who can fight in different styles and be successful
actually it's not that bad to be one dimensional as long as you're really good at it. Pac has beat some legendary ass when he was still one dimensional.
He was more disciplined because he was fightng a guy who likes to bang and is'nt known for his boxing skills. The difference in styles between Kat and Marquez is like night and day. Diaz won't look like that against Marquez. I think Diaz is in for a harder time than Hatton is against Pac. Marquez could end up making Diaz look very one dimensional.
