I think Hatton will stop Pac Hatton will be doing something Oscar didnt do and its called punching back.
Pac is good, and his defence is improving. But he is far from unhittable. Hatton is probably going to test Pacs chin and body repeatedly. Hattons footwork is barmy and only a little bit slacker than Manny's. If Hatton closes the gap and unloads in close, it's a certainty that Pac is going to get hit. He certainly won't able to be as effective defensively as PBF was.
Who's the bigger man? I think it's just evenly matched...
................................. PAC ......... Hatton .....
......................Height: 5' 6 1/2" .... 5' 6"
.......................Reach: 67" .......... 65"
................Arm Length: 25" .......... 20"
..Last Weigh-In weight: 142 lbs. .... 140 lbs.
Last Fight Night weight: 148 lbs. .... 152 lbs.
PAC is taller and with longer reach/range (big advantage for PAC here) while Hatton weigh a little bit more than PAC...
Size department is just even... I won't buy "Hatton is the bigger man at 140" argument...

Either Pac or Hatton must be a weird shaped fucker. This idea that Pac has 5 inch longer arms than Ricky seems weird t ome considering their reach is only 2 inches different.
I did some measurements on myself to see who seems more normal.
My reach is 71 inches
My arms from top of shoulder are both 25.5 inches
So gap between shoulders is 20 inches.
If your stats are correct Hattons shoulders are 25 inches. Dam thats wide, and Pacs are only 17. I cannot believe Hattons shoulders are 8 inches wider than Pacs!
I would imagine that many of Hattons opponents have had either height or reach advantages over him. In fact it has often suited Hattons style, and explains why he has often neglected the jab and instead just bullied his way inside using his quick feet. Against Pac who has only the slight reach advantage I imagine that Hatton will mix it up more.
I don't think anybody can seriously suggest that Hatton is not the naturally bigger man here. Pac will do everything he can to make it an outside fight, and that's because Hatton will bully him to the ropes if he doesn't. Hatton is significantly stronger IMO.
Pac's arms 5" longer. With a Straight Puncher like Pac, I don't know how Hatton deal with Straight Left & Jabs. You might counter that Hatton already deal with other longer armed fighters but I'm sure Hatton was the quicker guy in those fights. In this fight Pac has the quicker & Longer arsenal & also the Greater Chin. I don't see Hatton winning this fight.
Reach measurements are from the tip of the hands up to the other tip of the hands(Fingers). The better gauge is Arm's lenght which is from Armpit to end of he fist or Knuckle. You don't punch sideways or punch with your fingertips. From Knuckel to face, that's the true important measurement of Fighters advantage on landing n the face & Body.
Hark at Mystic Meg there with her Crystal ball!
I imagine Hatton's body is somewhat wider than Pac's. That is because he is actually bigger than Pac. When that body is crushing down upon you, it isn't so easy to hit it, and it wears you down. I can see that happening a bit in my Emeralds of Enchantment.![]()
