Thats pretty much the logic if I go against him he wins, so I am going to keep on that level incase he decides to fight Floyd, it would be hillarious if he chose not to fight Floyd and retired, leaving Floyd empty handed, that in itself would be considered a big win for Pac in my eyes. This way Floyd can cry and beg Manny to come back out of retirement only for Manny to be the man in command in terms of the purse bid.
of course, its a legitament statemnt. he has yet to be hit clean by a welterwieght. a guy like mosley, cotto or mayweather could surely rock him
i think this is true. in fact, the first knockdown (right hook roll under), hatton was not downed by the right hook per se. it was the exchange before that. (the one that manny threw a jab, then slipped two right hands, and came back right away with a 1-2, right uppercut, then followed it by a 1-2). hatton is hurt, but he had tendencies to close in the distance even if badly hurt (just like after mayweather knocked him down, he went right to floyd's face and got slaughtered). so he got close, then pac sliced him with the right hook, then pac rolled under.
I thought I was the only one that noticed this,one of the few good punches Hatton had,it got Pacs attention pushed him back,this is the reason I say Cotto wil beat Pac he can't take his power. And Cotto is far more accurate..
Pac pounds his gloves when he gets buzzed,he did it against Jmm,De La Hoya after one of the few clean hooks Oscar got to him,its like a rhythm thing for him..
Well as said before Pacman said he felt Hattons strength but Hatton wasent anywhere near good enough to capatilise on it
Hatton never really landed anything significant in the fight. You're probably thinking about when PAC was pushed back, it was more due to his positioning IMHO.
Noticed that on the night but Hatton's punch resistance and tactics were rubbish and he was KO'd soon after
yeah, he hurt pac for a mere 2 seconds.... get real, Hatton was hurt a minute and 30 seconds into the fight.
and you are not overconfident? dont be so sure that Cotto wins this fight, if anything Pacman will be the favorite to win with the bookies
