I saw this fight as being very one sided for Manny who is a southpaw, won't stand still for hatton to wrestle with, will move in and out and throw lightning fast flurries upstairs - a area hatton doesn't seem to commit himself to defending.

It was an easy pick then, but hatton imo will prove alot of people wrong under Floyd Sr's tutelage. If he can prove he isn't the same hatton who was noticeably on his decline, then it will be a great fight.

And you dont think the beatdown of malignaggi was an indication of that??

Ok so hattons chin was never going to be really tested against paulie, but his ability to hurt a moving target and being able to stay on his man for 3minutes a round was there for all to see.

Hatton/Pac may just be that bit crazier than Oscar/pac because outside of the ring when they arent fighting pacquiao probably weighs no more than 130 odd while hatton balloons up to 180+
actually manny walks around 150-155lbs when not in training.
