The post-fight delusion is overwhelming, time for some sense

I'm drunk and lit. I hope in this state I haven't gone overboard.

I wish Hatton luck and a fast recovery with his health.

At the same time, I'm surprised by just how bad Manny made him look tonight.

Nice post, as much as I hate to admit it your probably right. Well PBF/Pacman should be an awesome fight. I can't ****ing wait gents. PEACE

I agree, but I still think FMS has to take substantial responsibility for the fact that Hatton was more of a "bulldozer" than ever. His shots were telegraphed and looping, his guard was weak and low, his jab was non-existent and his chin followed his hands like a dog. That suggests training inadequacies to me.

Stop this mayweather will KO pac easy ****. Let's wait for the fight announcement first before you start talking **** you ****.

The point, you know nothing twit is:

Why pay a down right stupid mother ****er a million dollars to disrupt your camp......spout off to the media about how improved you are when you're really not..........make silly poems up and stupid predictions.,........pretend you're the greatest trainer in the world when in fact you sucked at everything you ever did in your life aside from being a sperm doner.

Floyd Mayweather Sr has made more money in his lifetime being a stupid moron than you ever will, by being a stupid ****.
He's something you never will be. He's a media hype job.
He didn't make his money being stupid.........He made his money being stupid and appealing to stupid people thanks to the media who hyped this scum up.

You will never have that opportunity unless you and your wife or whoever can SOMEHOW give birth OR CONCEIVE Floyd Mayweather Jr.

This courtesy of his son and all time great.

If not for this..........Floyd Sr would be pushing a cart down the street with all his belongings in it.........and shining shoes for a buck a pop.

Let me just address a few points,

1/ Having a fighter knocked out does not make you a bad trainer. Just about every trainer from Eddie Futch to Freddie Roach himself has had fighters destroyed early. Whatever the "gameplan" was, we really didn't get to see it unfold, did we? All we know is that Floyd Snr's expertise was not substantial enough to make up for Hattons technical and physical deficiences against a more skilled, quicker, and probably more powerful fighter.

If you're going to blame Floyd Snr specifically, then ask yourself which trainer would Hatton have performed better with - To me, personally, it looked like a case of Hatton not sticking to the gameplan. Where was the jab and the lateral movemen? Gung-ho aggression was not what Floyd Snr was supposed to bring to the table. Whatever the case, Floyd Snr should shoulder some of the blame, as much as any trainer should when his fighter is crushed within a few rounds. But let me reiterate that this doesn't make him a bad trainer, if you think it does, you're a hypocritical idiot.

2/ I think it's pretty clear that Hatton's method of fighting played right into Pacquiao's pinpoint counterpunching style. Getting nice and tight on the inside was a good idea in theory, but getting there and staying there are two things Pacquiao is very good at not-allowing. We all saw De La Hoya picked to pieces trying to cut the range on Manny. There wasn't enough head-movement and measure on Hatton's part.

It's clearly Manny's preferred fight, rather than competing with fighters who actually can box - Marquez, Barrerra, etc.

Do you think he's going to hit someone like Mayweather with that looping counter left hook while he's lunging forward?

Do you think Mayweather is going to senselessly barge his way through Pacquiaos offense to get inside?

Negative and negative. Hattons decimation is no indication of the way Pacquiao-Mayweather will play out, anyone who makes that comparison, once again, knows nothing about boxing.

Floyd Mayweather Jnr will stop Pacquiao late on. Provided he's at least half the fighter he was two years ago.

3/ Those having a go at Hatton, now, are sick. The man got in the ring with one of the best fighters in the World and was slaughtered infront of his family. Whether you like or hate Hatton he's an honest professional, and some of the remarks on this forum are just out of order. If you're such big Manny fans then take a page out of his book, I'm sure he'd be ashamed of your attitudes.
