Gotta disagree with you albsur, the reason Hatton lost to Mayweather was because he came up against a guy who was simply better than he could be. It was not a 'bigger' guy, just someone who had Hatton figured out & knew how to beat him, most importantly on the inside in 'Hatton's territory'. I do think Pacquiao is the slight favourite, he has the speed & elusiveness that could make him a very tricky opponent & I think that has enough to push him to a points decision. However, we do not know how good Pacquiao is on the inside, he is certainly not as good there as Mayweather, & it will be interesting to see how he copes with Hatton bullying him when he gets there. It wont be as simple as skipping away & at some point he will have to get into the trenches & this is when Hatton can win. People here really underestimate Hatton's power, any man how can make Kostya Tzsyu quit must punch pretty hard, & lets not forget he kinda wobbled PBF in the 1st round of their fight which very few have done (I know he was off balance but still it was impressive) so I certainly don't think Pacquiao will ever have been in with someone who hits as hard as Ricky & it will be interesting to see how he copes.
