In close Hatton can wrestle, but he needs to work his way in close without leaving himself open. A sharp jab will be the key. Using movement Hatton can neutralise the reach disadvantage.
I really see the jab playing a significant part in this. It's nothing groundbreaking, just a move back to the basics.
You are wrong again in your analysis. Tyson was the shorter & the lesser reach than most of his opponent but he's way quicker & harder puncher than his opponents.
Pac has all the advantage of speed, Reach, Power, Chin, head movement etc. Hatton has only his Natural size only as his advantage But Pac demostrated already that size doesn't matter coz he has his amazing speed & Power.
Forget about hatton's Jab. It will not reach Pac.
