    You will NEVER see Ricky backpadel so thats out of the question.

    The question will be if Hatton can take Paccys speed when trying to create an opening. I personally think Pacs power is overated a 140 and Hatton will take his shots and eventually land.

    Can Paccy take Hattons body shots?? Can ricky cope with Paccys speed?

    We'll find out May2nd

    Did hatton stop coming forward when Mayweather, who is alot stronger and hits harder was hitting him at will? Nope. He will come forward all night or until he knocks pac out or pac KO's him.

    There was a point where Hatton's will to fight was broken by Floyd's volume of punches.
    He was going through the motion in coming forward.

    We had never seen him backpedal. but it aint out of the question nothings out of the question.
    I think its unproven not overrated

    He did backpedalled when he could no longer contain Floyd's volume of punches. That's what Pac will do because Hatton lacks defense. The fight will be stopped due to cuts. If not, a KO/TKO will be inevitable.

    In my opinion Floyd was letting ricky come forward so he can counter him, thus the checkhook. It was more of floyds decision to fight that way than ricky.

    Floyds another level, no1 would beat him in boxing at the mo, he is just too clever and too good. He woiuld make Pac look stupid IMO

    I like Paccy, he is superb to watch and he has skills, but I don;t think he will be able to take Hattons body shots IF Hatton can get inside.

    I jus hope paccy doesnt use the jab and keep Hatton at distance and run all night

    Amigo, don't pre-empt Pac's strategy to KO Hatton. The jabs are part of his offense in unleashing his much vaunted straights. Pac's right is now as hard as his left. It's used to measure up distance and frustrate Hatton's offense. You've got to observe Pac-dela Hoya fight. He darts in and out and slips those right jabs and straight lefts.

    That's actually what Pac did in countering Diaz come forward offense. I think this will be duplicated in his fight w/ Hatton.

    Potshotting against Hatton doesn't really work you have to make him lead and then counterpunch.

    Now youre just thrash talking.He made hatton look stupid which is a fact but making pac look stupid is just your speculation.

    Pac wont run believe me, i just hope ricky wouldnt try to be dirty. yes just like the kotsya tszyu match.

    he did mke Hatton look stupid, im not disagreeing with you. Mayweather put in a perfect performance, I just don't see how ther Pac PBF fight would be any different.

    And the kosta fight, you should watch it again, Ricky was superb, Kosta was as dirty as Hatton. And its the referees fault for letting the clinching go.

    And if you watch the fight he wasnt holding as much, he does what he always does, quick clinch, then body shots on the way out. Perfectly legal

    Pac should be careful not to injure his hands. I expect him to wear down Hatton's w/ voluminous punches on the face.

    Yep speculation. I dont think you can imagine pac beating Oscar 6 mos ago.
    Hopkins tricks, are perfectly legal too, it really depends how lenient the referee in the fight is.Which im thankful is happening in vegas to avoid any controversy.
    Ha ha ha i give props to ricky for beating tzsyu but asking me if it was completely legal is another thing. obviously it was legal that night:hey

    he could TKO hatton through accumulation. I don't think he can KO ricky with just one punch... all i know is that hatton will not backpedal and will never be discourage from coming forward.

    If hatton can take pac's power and forcefully establishes his gameplan then pac is in deep ****.
