Hatton's Chances Not Good against Pacquiao, says Warren

[Chase8400]

You mean the Kosta Tszu that was one foot in the door to retirement? Cool....

Kostya didnt look faded in the fights prior to Hatton and he didn't look faded in that fight, so how do you figure? Because he lost on his ass? At least he fought back. Oscar layed down and was LITERALLY going to retire in Dec. '08.

Pacquiao is a completely different fighter than Floyd and his game plan will be different..

Exactly my point. Hatton was only ever solved by a purely defensive counter puncher like Floyd. Manny, while good, is nothing like Floyd.

He won't be able to maul Pacquiao...**** he couldn't even do that against Malignaggi! Hatton still lunges in leaving his hands down. He did that against Malignaggi as well and at times Pauli caught him with a few counter punches that threw Hatton off balance temporarily with obvious little effect.

Paulie was as fast as Manny and still stood no chance against Hatton. He took a beating all around the ring in the same fashion Oscar did except he is in his prime. Landing 3 hard punches in the whole fight does not constitute beating Hatton. Left hooks from a orthodox stance is allot different from a southpaw straight left.

Hatton will make a fight out of it, but as usual will get frustrated when he can't find any openings and thus going back to his brawling style.

You have no way to know that Hatton will get landed on and that Manny wont. One thing is certain though. Manny has been down on body shots and Hatton can throw them. Hatton can also move in on his feet faster than Manny can back up. The distance will get closed and we will see what happens when it does. Every style has a counter style. Lets see who's wins this battle.

P.S. I got 10K on Hatton if you are interested.

Frank Warren is a bitter old fart!

[aljosa_raos]

win or lose (i believe hatton will win) regardless of the outcome...people who think this is a walk in the park for pac are f.uckin delusional

this is new...for the first time! We're gonna see pac fight on the inside and stay there and it won't because he wants to

nobody will win a close fight with pacquiao.you are delusional.
Pacquiao will ko him in 6 rounds.just imagine what would pacquiao do to malignaggi.hatton is overrated.even juan m m would ko hatton!!

[aljosa_raos]

HATTON ALSO HAD WEAK CHIN.HE GOT KO D agains MAYWEATHER.
LIGHT puncher as COLLAZO almost KO d him.Juan Lascano had him dead in 10 but judge help Hatton alot.Hatton will get knock out by PACQUIAO.
What Warren says is threw.

[Addition]

Frank Warren is a bitter old fart!

But has a point.

[Chunk..]

But has a point.

I agree, but he always jumps at the chance to twist the knife in.

If Hatton was still his fighter, he wouldn't be saying that would he? Frank is a money whore and Hatton was his best selling slut!

Hatton really has a chance since every boxer who faces an opponent has a chance... Hatton is strong at 140lbs, he is undefeated on that division... Body shots would be the key for hattons victory since he is known for that...

The question is can pacquiao take those shots or can avoid them? If he can then it would be a great fight because for sure they will be fighting toe to toe...

I doubt it if paulie has the same speed as pacquiao... Paulie seldom gave hatton combinations only jobs... Pacquiao speed will deliver 5-6 power combinations while paulie gave 1,2-3 feather fist combinations...

The question is can hatton take the pressure of pacquioa's speed and power combinations? If he can then its hard to say who will win... His only lost is to floyd mayweather(a former #1 P4P king) who has a very impressive defence and a counter puncher... Hatton's lost is at 147 which is not at 140...

If the fight will last untill the 12th rounds, I think pacquiao would win a UD... If it is not it is hard for me to say who would win a KO... Its either hatton if he delivers a very powerful body shots or pacquiao through the accumulation of powerful combinations...

Manny has been down on body shots

Once! That was 10 years ago!
