It Looks Like it's Ricky Hatton first, then Floyd Jr. next! - Freddie Roach

Pac is not getting past Hatton, guaranteed.

What are your reasons for saying that?

Style wise Pac will come at Hatton, he is not a slick southpaw and will fight with Hatton. Hatton will love that and it will be as good as a performance as his victory over Tszyu because he will be extra motivated. At 140lb no body beats him. Only Maweather stands a 50% chance with him at 140lbs.

I think Pac might be a little too fast on his toes for Hatton to nail enough to do damage. I can see Manny being the one counterpunching and Hatton going forward

I have it about 60-40 for Pac.

Hmm, I used to dislike Hatton but he has done the biz against some very strong light welter fighters, Pac isnt genuinly that big or strong and De La Hoya trying to show off how much weight he could lose gave Pac a standing target with no energy for offence.

When you see beyond the De La Hoya match then I do think that Ricky SHOULD be too strong for Pac and Ricky isnt exactly slow either and Pac isnt too hard to nail.

Its a very intruiging match who if I had to bet my house id go with Hatton but I wouldnt be too sure either way as Pacs southpaw quick hands may bust Rickys face up, I dont know.
