What the **** is going on here? atsch Just three months ago, he has a close fight with Marquez, than butchers Diaz, levels lower than Marquez and suddenly he's unstoppable? Doesn't make any sense since 90% of ESB was predicting Pacquiao to smash Diaz, calling him a bum, clubfighter, than when he does, you act like you totally didn't expect that with comments like this. 'Wow Pacquiao looked amazing!' 'Pacquiao will kill Hatton!' 'He might even have a chance against Mayweather' WTF You expected a beatdown, why go nuts when it happens? This fight didn't change my thoughts on this matchup. Pacquiao nuthuggers only defense is "Pacquiao's hands and feet are quicker than Hattons, he'll punch him quickly and move." Okay, but lets not forget that Hatton doesn't fight like he's got his feet stuck in cement, he is very quick at closing the distance and has been able to close the distance on everyone he has fought, Pacquiao won't be any different. And when he does get there, how will Pacquiao respond? He isn't much of an-fighter and likes to punch at mid-range, he loses his effectiveness when pushed back, which he will be, by Hatton's greater strength.
Great post. I think some people on here are just desperate for a hero to validate their lives or something.
i don't think Manny beats Ricky myself but please explain how having a hero 'validates' your life. ******.
Well it just seems to me that so many people on this board are ready to greet any bit of success with such furore there must be a reason for it. Also, when you use personal insults it makes you look like a child. Try & discuss things like an adult in future.:good
Excuse me cupcake but you made a very immature, blanket statement that didn't even make sense so I felt that your tasteless comment deserved a similar response. That's what you were looking for isn't it? So what if somebody has a hero? So what if a Calzaghe, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Ali fan has too much adoration. Does that mean their lives are somehow less fullfilling than somebody, like me, who doesn't have hero worship for any man? Grow up yourself. You were looking for some attention with that first post and now that you've found it you're crying about it.
I don't think he beats Hatton of 3 years ago but the Hatton of today is ready to beaten again, his punch resistance is gone, i think Ricardo Torres could possibly stop him now.
On the contrary. It would appear you are looking for an altercation to whittle away your Sunday afternoon. You've completely missed the point & to be honest it's not worth continuing this petty discussion. Enjoy your day.
Pacquiao now is a much improve fighter! I thought he wouldn't beat Hatton in the past. But the way he got in and out at this fight - he would give Hatton trouble.
No. I got the 'point' that you were trying to make, loud and clear, even if it didn't make much sense. But true enough; it is petty. See you later.
Hatton, De La Hoya, Cotto, and Mayweather all demolish Pac inside 6 rounds. Just far to big for him, and Cotto and Mayweather are better boxers also.
Do people realize how weak of an opponent Diaz was ??Leading up to the fight it was common knowledge how week he was ..Not he will steam roll over Hatton ?? This why some fans should not be allowed to talk to other fans !
