I think the main thing hatton needs to do is stay close to manny constantly and therefore neutralise any speed because manny won't have the room. I can't say I've saw manny fight a mostly on the inside kinda fight so it will be interesting to see how that pans out, and at the same time we've all saw what happens when Hatton cannot close the gap down effectively.. he gets caught with ALOT of straights.. (I think Floyd caught him with 6-7 HARD rights to the chin as hatton was trying to close the gap down at times).
I think if hatton was still with Billy Graham he wouldn't stand half as much of a chance against manny but not only has floyd snr revitalised his career ambitions he will also teach him alot of stuff.. where as I don't think there is much more roach can teach pac man..
The last thing I bare in mind with manny is his chin has not truly been tested above featherweight.. correct me if I'm wrong but DLH didn't land one solid punch throughout the fight. What will we see if hatton catches manny with a banger? Where as we've seen the kind of punches hatton can take, especially when he walked through anything kosta threw at him and kept closing him down. A very interesting fight this one will be, potential fight of the year![]()
