Video: Manny Pacquiao vs. Ricky Hatton (Knockout Of The Year)

May 2nd, 2009 . by Dell

I have never been so pissed off at a fight in my life.

I picked Hatton to win this because I didn’t put much stock into Pacquiao’s win vs. De La Hoya. Oscar was old, shot, and refused to punch back. Therefore, when you couple the fact that Ricky is naturally bigger than Manny and he’s known as a puncher….. I thought he could pull it out.

Another thing to point out was that I believed Hatton would listen to Floyd Sr. and actually BOX, by jabbing and moving his head. Hatton did neither, he charged in trying to bully Manny and got his ass knocked out. Manny (just like Floyd Jr.) is way too fast to let someone charge in and bully them around. Freddie Roach was correct when he said Hatton wouldn’t change his ways and claimed he knew exactly what he would do.

If Mayweather vs. Pacquiao happens, it’s going to be the ULTIMATE case of a great offense vs. a great defense. Manny is the most unstoppable offensive force in boxing and Mayweather is the best defensive fighter of this generation.
