they are both the same size! they are both around 5'6. difference is, manny will weigh around 148 come foght time and hatton will be more like 152.
The size depends on the training. Hatton can easily bulk up but I don't think he carries the weight power with him. He natural fighter at 140.
With these two it comes down to who backs down in the fight. If Hatton connects with good shots and can back Pacquiao up. Pacquiao's in trouble. If Pacquiao lands shots to Hatton, and Hatton can't get inside, Hatton's in trouble. The fight comes down to the man with the most heart wins.
We will just have to see if Mayweather Sr. is stupid enough to try and make a flat foot like Hatton a dancer. Not that it's bad to have foot skills, it's just not the Hatton way to get it done) I do hope he does because Pacquiao will take Hatton apart and the OK is by the 10th. Else Hatton abandons the Mayweather Sr. Plan and starts mauling Pacquiao.
152 is too heavy for Hatton and he'll slow down by the 7th round. 148-150 is a better weight for him because Pacquiao will be about 146-148.
