You have to know Hatton is the bigger and more powerful puncher! PAC is more explosive and his punches will hurt but Hatton will have the edge in Power. I agree PAC will win and more than likely win by early stoppage but that won't mean his power is greater by any means.....it will just mean PAC lands more accurately timed and placed punches using a greater variety of skills.
He said so at the post presser. Also, watching the fight, when has Mayweather fought like that before? He got sucked in and beat Hatton at his own game.
Against Jesus Chavez, a guy with a similar pressure style to Hatton. Anyway, Mayweather also claimed his uncle to told him to stand his ground in the fight. That's pretty much what he did from the opening bell.
He is bigger than Pac naturally.But he cuts from 170lbs because he chooses to blow up.Its not natural weight that he removes.Its fat from beer etc. I always favoured Hatton at 140.I would vs anybody in the world right now
It's a great match up, nearly a 50/50 fight, although I think Pac slightly edges it. I wouldn't be surprised if Pac's quick & accurate shots make a bloody mess of Hattons face and he wins on cuts. However Hatton is still the man at 140, and has the heart and power to cause Pac problems. No fighter is shot, its gonna be a great a fight!! :bbb
All Hatton did is put his head down, hands up and try to bull Floyd around the ring. I suppose he could do this against Pac but Hatton looked like total **** in that fight, yeah, yeah, yeah, 147 I get it. Pac is way to fast to make this easy for Hatton.
The only thing I see happening for Hatton wearing down Pac. If he can do that he very well could win. If he can't he is going to get picked apart.
If ricky lands the shot same as he did on Mausa, that leaping lead left hook, it is OVER. Granted Pac's head movement and footwork is impecable and is much less likely to happen, I'm just sayin'
Pac is coming off of a career defining win in which he was heavily doubted and presumed by many to get koed. Hatton on the other hand has 2 less than quality wins against fighters who were both clearly inferior to him after he suffered a career defining loss in devasting and embassing fashion. Not only that, Pac was able to negociate the fight on his terms and is getting the bigger slice of the pie. I'd say the tide is swigging in Pac's favor. :deal
or you could say he lost to the best P4p fighter in the sport, won a tough decision against a very game and prepared opponent, and then destroyed one of the toughest fighters anyone could take on at 140. It's all in perspective my friend
Hatton doesn't "cut" down to 140 from 180, 140 is his ideal athletic fighting weight and shape. He's not naturally 180 pounds, he just gets fat as **** in between fights and has to lose all that unnatural flab to get back down to fighting shape. Anyone see the pics of Hatton in Vegas the weekend of Pacquiao vs DLH? I know he's received some decent press for his stand-up comedy of late, but he's also got a fantastic impression of a pork sausage he could show you.
