#3 The Southpaws Ricky has fought haven't been of the best class of fighters: Malinaggi with his brittle hands, Urango no jab and wide punches, Collazo who damn near KO'd Ricky doesn't have much power. Manny Pacquiao has high energy, high punch output, and when he lands it does damage....he has stopped people when it shocked EVERYONE....De la Hoya, Morales, Barrera...Manny is a tough fighter.
#4 I have yet to see Ricky pressured to use what he has learned (if anything) from Mayweather Sr.
#5 Ricky's healthy living between fights is a big issue, if he is "Ricky Fatton" again then his career with suffer from it. Either he'll have to take rounds off or he'll stop moving his head or using angles to get in and work
#6 I will say that a prepared Ricky Hatton is a dangerous fight for Manny Pacquiao. Ricky has fast hands, he goes to the body well, and he has a good chin.
