However, in opposition to the statement made by Nonito Donaire, he will not be technically the best body puncher that Pacquaio has faced. Erik Morales is.

With this fight, Hatton can win, but not with pure physicality, he must neutralise Pacquaio speed with his own movement and defence before thumping to the body.
Just call me ICB Donny

As for the body punching comment i haven't watched there trilogy, in quite sometime but i don't remember Erik Morales doing much work to Manny Pacquiao's body ? i remember Erik Morales fighting a similar fight to JMM except being more aggressive.
Will do Ice.

Thats why I see body punching being a problem to Pac.
Although usually forward, Pacquaio is always moving. He's rarely stationary and thats why I feel Erik never consistently landed to the body.

Hatton's going to need his fitness to be as high as the Tszyu night.
