Tell me what can Floyd Sr. teach Ricky at this point. Sr's basically trying to build Hattons "D". Hatton doesnt work off a jab, no counters, lack of head movement. Tell me what improvements did you see off of the Paulie fight, that would begin to tell you Hatton is a changed man. Paulie was even getting in his jab with ease in the early rounds and Hatton was even getting bruised on his left eye.

He was using the jab more, and he was moving his head more, and he used more angles as well.. Not nearly enough to have a chance against Pac, but his trainer hadn't had much time to work with him then. He'll have had a lot more time by May 2. Plus one would expect a trainer of his calibre to be able to come up with a specific game plan for Pac's style, and to find good sparring partners to help him work on implementing it.

Thanks, I'd missed that bit. I'll still believe it when the contract's signed, though.

Aww but Sr's knows the trouble with Southpaw fighters. Yes Sr. is a good trainer but so is Nacho who was probably the most successful against Pac. Nacho even mentioned that Pacquiaos style is awkward. What fighters have Sr' seen with the style of Pac? Who can Sr bring in to help Hatton for Pacs style. Possibly Valero, but even Valero doesnt have Pacs foot and head movement and speed. The little things Sr teaches Hatton, Hatton will rely on his old ways.

Watching the Hatton Floyd fight, Hatton was doing the same things leaving himself open, coming forward. Floyd threw that check hook more then once prior to it finally landing flush.

Hatton will die in round 6.

We'll see. I think Pac will probably win, but I think Hatton will be much better than he was against Mayweather and that it will be much more competitive.
