He has to be relentless going after Pacquiao not giving him any room to throw that straight left. Trying to be technical on the outside with Pacquiao just aint going to work with Pacquiao's current skill set. Hatton has to forget about boxing on the outside all together and be that finesse slugger using his mastery on the inside to win this fight.

But we just aint going to see this from Hatton in this fight, not this time around anyway. He's got to get over the loss he had from Mayweather Jr getting beat by Pacquiao will bring him around.

Hatton has Mayweather Sr. in his corner and Hatton is listening to him. That means Hatton is going to continue to do what he did with Malignaggi Jabing his way cutting off the ring to get inside against Pacquiao while to trying to pin him on the ropes. Hatton would get little love tap jabs from Malignaggi on the outside and just walk through them. He'll get taps from Pacquiao but they'll be bad intentions with them to the point were Hatton's aggression is stopped. Buy the 4th round we should see the Ricky of old start to coming back but by then Pacquiao will really get his rhythm going and start to pick Hatton apart. Hatton will get frustrated by the 6-7th rounds and then the real battle should start. All this will be happening while Mayweather Sr. is shouting at Hatton telling him to box step to the side and use his hook more after the jab. By the 10th round Hatton won't have anything left and Pacquiao will knock out Hatton. After this fight, Hatton will fire Mayweather Sr. looking for Hatton/Pacquiao II
Mayweather snr will have a good game plan for the fight.

Hatton will have to move his head on the way in and from time to time go in behind his jab not being to predictable once on the inside bang the body and use the uppercut and keep Manny backed up against the ropes aslong as possible.

1 thing that could spell disaster for Ricky if he fights like he did against Lazcanno he got hit with good combination that night, and if Manny catches him like that it will mess him up.But his defence has improved under Mayweather snr so hoping that wont happen.
