I think Pac was only 140 in the ring against Solis, even though he's probably about as tall as Hatton his frame is wirey, he probably wouldn't gain any weight overnight against Hatton, which would mean he'd be perfectly hydrated and his stamina would be as good as it could be, Hatton would come in at 152-154 on the night, and he's always in terrific shape and able to go 12 (other than against Urango but apparently he was ill ) so I'd have to give Hatton the edge because of the vast strength advantage, when fighters make it as physical as Hatton does, when your significantly weaker strength wise it breaks you, Hatton would get more off and smother Pacquiao to a UD IMO. Would be a very intresting fight though, and maybe not as clear cut as I described.
Hatton is not only too big, he is also far too strong. He hasn't impressed americans because on his 2 showcase fights he has fought two big southpaws who were quite a lot stronger than him. Hell he rarely impressed us English fans when he fought southpaws at domestic level. However he still gets the job done and that's what is important. You will see come the Castillo fight anyway....

Hatton stops Pac by the way, who also has his hands full if he fights Valero or Guzman. I think they are more realistic targets for him.
