Watching Pac-DLH again makes me believe...

i agree.

hatton must establish his size and probably strength advantage on this one to back pacquiao up without getting tagged too much in return. once he established this, he must cut pac and corner him (foot movement) unto the ropes. he should try to rough him up inside but should have a good head movement to avoid a repeat of the floyd fight.

 

One good thing going about PAC is that he NEVER UNDERESTIMATES ANYBODY!!!

Everytime he's interviewed prior to a fight when asked about his chances. He NEVER boasted or anything. He always says.. X boxer is a good boxer and I'll do my best to beat him.

Despite his status he's feet is always on the ground and gives his opponent due respect.

 

We'll see:smoke

 

Again, we'll see:smoke

 

Oh yes! we will... :good

 

DLH has always been sorry though.

 

If it goes 12 runds then theres no way Hatton is gonna win this fight. Pacquaio is the better boxer, but Hatton can KO Pacquaio for sure so we'll just wait and see.

 

Some here say that you can't judge Manny by his last performance because DLH was weight drained and washed up.
But can you judge Ricky on his last performance? Against a one handed , soft puncher? Certainly Paulie posed just as little if not less than a challenge as Oscar?
You have to judge this fight against the overall quality of opposistion and who each guy beat. Also judge by speed, punching power, and defensive skill.
Add it up and it equals Manny by TKO 9.

 

Hatton isn't a 36 year old, semi-retired, weight drained skelton, like Oscar was that night.

oscar actually looks in great shape there

 

wow! he looks like a 36 yr old, weight-drained, shot-skeletor in there.

 

Great point, never thought of that one !

 

Standing next to the men that are responsible for 3 of his losses.

 

Watching the DLH-MP 24/7 series, I remember a sequence, probably filmed a week or so before the fight, where Oscar was about to do some fight simulation sparring (full 12 rounds, if I remember right) and he weighed in at 155 lbs. before they started.

And right after the sparring session, he weighed in again, and was at 145 lbs. And he still looked pretty fresh and talkative for the cameras. Not really so dehydrated, I thought.

(that's the time when I thought to myself "Oh crap, Manny's gonna be in trouble now..")

I'm guessing that his "normal" and stable walking weight around, before, and a few hours after the official weigh-in was probably 155 lbs. Maybe a bit more.

That's what I think. I may be wrong.
