Roach is right. Hatton only fights one way. His chin is always up in the air, and poor footwork. Very predictable. He always leads with the left hook when he lounge in and followed up by clinch. Sort of repeatition thing.
Roach has made silly predictions involving many of the fighters he has trained. And what is this about poor footwork? Are you serious or are you just repeating what Roach has said because you don't know what you are talking about? Hatton's footwork is one of his better qualities. He closes the gap just like that, his footwork is so quick that on occasion because he can sometimes smother his own work. But if anyone thinks Hattons footwork is poor then they are misguided and headed for a big shock come fight night.

You are underestimating Hatton big time. Expect Hatton to jab his way in and then whilst Manny is dealing with that, to be closing the gap with speedy footwork and then unloading while in close. In this position Hatton will use his strength and not allow Pac to get into a rhythm. As soon as a meaningful blow lands, I can see Pac fighting on the back foot more, and this is where the fight might play into Hatton's advantage.
