Pacquiao will have to watch out for the clinching and infighting Hatton loves to do. Ricky is going to try and bully Pacquiao and as always I think Manny is going to use his speed and agility to land power punches. Manny has too much speed, too much stamina for Ricky to handle....Ricky's best shot is to make it a rough fight and wear Manny down which he has the ability to do....I just don't know how Ricky is going to take to the southpaw stance vs a guy with fast hands and good power.
fair points mate, but there was definatley an improvement from hatton in the malignaggi fight that id attribute to mayweather snr. He still got hit a bit too much but alot less than he usually gets hit. As for the clinching, it was malignaggi doing all the clinching all night long in his last fight. i think the southpaw stance will cause problems for hatton just because hatton has always struggled with them.
