Hatton is neither of those two fighters and its a fight I await with relish.

I still say its a pick 'em. But Hatton will spoil Pac and make it a messy, intense brawl. Hatton always wins those.
yea but pac never fights on the inside, he may trade but they are explosion that last for a moment or two only. Hatton doesn't have the agility to keep up with pacs overall speed may it be his hands or leg movements.

What makes me so confindent in this fight is that hatton looks vulnerable to hooks, I think pac wil be too fast and hatton wont get his way and wont be able to make it messy cause pac will keep his range. Target hatton with hooks and straight lefts.

This could be an easy fight if hatton can't keep up with pac. If pac easily keeps his range, hatton will be target practice. Hatton does need to rough him up but i dont think he can.
Hatton is pretty quick himself. His footwork is exceptional. Pac might not want to be close but Hatton will close that gap and be there grappling. Pac will not have free reign to unload like against Oscar. His output will be reduced big time. Oscar seldom touched Manny, Ricky will test the chin repeatedly.

To say it could be an "easy" fight against Hatton shows you have your blinkers on. Hatton can go 12 rounds, and Pac hasnt tasted a body shot like Hatton can deliver in a while.

Its a pick 'em but dont be so quick to count Ricky out. He will do a LOT more than Oscar did.
