The leaping hook is something that has been awkward to see from Hatton. But with talk from Hatton about the importance of a good stiff jab, then hopefully we will see less of that leaping in from a distance leaving himself wide open to be countered. Hatton can really box well when he puts his mind to it. We won't be seeing the same Hatton that fought Mayweather, and we won't see anything entirely new either. I think its really about getting back to basics, what Hatton did before Kostya...head movement, jabs, combinations, lots of movement. Hatton IS the bigger man, if he can apply the fundamentals well then the opportunities to land on Manny WILL be there. Manny is not unhittable as Marquez, Barrera and Morales all showed. With Hatton looking to be the aggressor Pac might will eat leather and hard. We know Ricky can take big punches, we don't know that about Manny at the higher weights.

Manny isn't a big puncher anyway, he shocks opponents with speed more than anything. Diaz went down from accumulation, Oscar just decided to give up. Marquez and Barrera both went 12 with Manny without too much stress. I'm sure Hatton can do the same!
Lol. Hatton is nowhere near the great Mexico trio's boxing skills and he's terrible against southpaw too (Collazo). Did you see how he was eating Paulie's jabs? Now imagine those left hands coming from Pac in full force.
Again you are underestimating Hatton and putting him down. Of course the guy has skills, he's only ever lost to the best fighter in the world! Go and watch Hatton's fights prior to the Kostya fight. He boxed really well at times, and we've seen glimpses of it since, but he has come to rely on brute force more often than not. Hatton realises that, whence the changes in his camp. Hatton is very successful mauling his opponents into submission, but you can't just do that all the time.

Hatton might be a cruder fighter than the Mexican trio, but he is a much bigger fighter and comes forward hard. Pac won't like that kind of pressure.

You bring up Hattons issue with southpaws. He has had more problems with southpaws than orthodox fighters, but he has still managed to win each time. Hatton right now is working on getting everything right, his camps have been getting better and better in the states and he seems to be getting in some decent hard sparring whence the nicks under his eyes. Still a few more weeks to hone things.

Paulie landed some jabs, but Paulie is regarded as a very good user of the jab. It's his main punch really, you'd be surprised if he wasn't landing any. Jabs do land on fighters on occasion, you know...
Those are your opinions and I have to respect them. I'm not taking anything away from Hatton. He's a tremendous fighter but he will be facing a very unique and one the most violent fighters in the world. I was just pointing out Hatton flaws.

How's you confident level on this fight btw? From scale 1 to 10 heart and mind(10 is the highest).

In my heart, 8 for Pac.

My mind, also 8 for Pac.
