Roach: Hatton Perfect For Manny

Can someone please tell PacD the difference in a fighter fighting at a trained 148lbs as opposed to a rehydrated 144lbs?

 

he can't. that's been his stand since the start. that's why he was sold on a fight between pbf and pac. because pbf fights at the 147 division and pac rehydrates to 144.

 

Where do you feel that his cut off point is? What weight? I know you feel he was at his best at 122 as I do. He is slowing down, I saw it in his last 2 fights. Where does it end?

 

You need to realize all this is meaningless when assessing this match up PDB. Size is a factor here whether you realize it or not. Also you need to look at how Pac has fought going up in each class. Pad @ 140 would be a shell of the Pac who fought and looked amazing @ 122 & 126.

That was a hydrated Pac @ 144. That's not the same as a muscular 140. Not even close.

DO you honestly believe Pac would stay the same size and just enter @ 144 again? Or would he try to gain muscle and more size if he had to fight @ 140? I promise you the latter is closer to how it would be. And that weight would factor into Pac's stamina, speed, and power.

 

jmm, juan diaz and hatton all in 2008? that level of competition is insane! :shock: props to mannypac, not afraid of anyone... :smoke

 

Exactly, even if he can get past Marquez, Juan Diaz will beat that ass back down to 130 :yep

 

Its hard for me to say because I feel that PAc has a couple of great great fights left. I mean a real training camp..focused and hungry. Which I really havent seen even since MAB 1.

With the exception of Floyd..its one of those things that Id have to see it happen (him losing decidedly) until then I dont know. This is at 135. At 140, certain fighters maybe. Hatton may prove to be alot stronger, my guess is Pac wouldnt like to get hit to the body. But PAC can hit him nonetheless which is why theres still a glimmer of hope for Pacnatics

 

I think he's just talking, but if he could pull that off by beating all three, then he would be P4P over Mayweather for sure :yep

 

easy there cowboy. please tell me how pac "annihilated" mab at 130. i remember pac beating mab but i didn't see a destruction as you claim.

mayweather is not known as a ko artist because he is so damn good at everything else. pac has 4 ko, 2 uds and a loss at 130. pbf has 10 kos in 14 wins at 130. so your point was against wothless.

pac is a was a ko artist. i think it was clear from the mab fight that he is trying not to be one anymore. sure, pac is fast, but is he faster than mayweather? i don't think so.

sure, hatton does not have a granite chine but may i remind you that pac has been dropped with a lot less that what dropped hatton?

pacd, of course i have a prediction that i hold dear to my heart. i predicted pac to win against mab the first time. did you? wait,,,,don't answer that. i just remembered, you still did not watch pac back then.

 

already giving props yet only one match is certain. if i said i'd fight de leon, vasquez and rafa next year, will you give me props too?:nut

 

we've already seen him move up in weight to fight barrera and morales. he also faced the most avoided featherweight in juan manuel marquez. it is very possible that he will fight juan diaz and ricky hatton...

as for you, i won't give props 'coz it definitely won't happen hehe...

 

that's exactly how i see the hatton-pac fight. it probably won't happen. by the time pac moves up to 140, hatton will no longer be there as he could fight the other champs at 147. i think this is a more feasible choice for hatton because there are bigger names at 147 than 140 and the promoters know the money coming in if hatton fights in america against a name so there is little or no hindrance whatsoever

 

why are people calling out hatton now that he's lost. i hate that. is it because ppl realize he is such a draw.

 

nope, it's because roach will call out any star withing a 10 pound radius

 

Finally.. somebody with the brain.:good Teach them about basic Economics.:hey
