I don't agree at all if Hatton's style works against PBF, who excels in lower output high accuracy, super efficient defense.
How does that change how Hatton would do against say Williams with an extra 10" reach advantage high output offense IS defense fighter?
I don't think the size of Williams height wise is important, look at Maussa or Tony Pep. Goodnight to both of them.
Williams has other attributes granted but height/reach shouldn't be an issue.
That's not the question that was asked, it's comparing apples to oranges to bananas
Mayweather, Cotto, Williams
Completely different builds, completely different styles.
Whether or not Hatton could nullify Williams reach advantage is moot to the question at
hand. PBF vs. Hatton tells us NOTHING about how Hatton will handle Williams reach and output.
PBF vs. Hatton tells us NOTHING about how Hatton could handle Cotto's power.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
