Exactly, who has Pac fought that had the ability to push him back? Morales showed glimpses of how to do it. Opponents like Marquez and Barrera like to fight going back, which plays to Manny's strengths somewhat (though Marquez made him look a bit silly on occasions). It all worked against Oscar who was throwing nothing back and how could it not work against Diaz!
Hatton has a style that Manny really hasn't faced before, despite Saddoboxers ludicrous David Diaz comparisons!Hatton has great footwork and gets close quickly, so he can do what he does best. No opponent has been able to get away from Hatton faster than he comes to them. Even Floyd found himself in a wrestling match and seemed to be initiating a lot of the holding after potshotting. All of Hattons opponents get shocked by his fleetness of foot and how physically he fights. And here is this little man about to tame Hatton! Come on now, Pac can be cut, he can be hurt to the body, and even an old Barrera had him reeling from an illegal blow. Think what Hatton will do to him, and he will be coming forward and closing the ring off and throwing hard punches which will take their toll.
