Latest update:

"Throwing punches, not baseballs, is preoccupying Pacquiao. A little less than five months removed from his big victory over Oscar De La Hoya, Pacquiao is scheduled to fight Ricky Hatton for the IBO and Ring Magazine World Junior Welterweight titles in Las Vegas on May 2.

"He's definitely 100 percent ready to fight right now. We're just maintaining," said Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach.

Roach also noted Pacquiao has had seven "clones" of Hatton as sparring partners and has knocked out four of them. This thrilled the unabashedly pro-Pacquiao gathering at the news conference."

Hatton has knocked over 100 nodding head Pacs !! As for me taking a punch from him, I weigh 85Kilos so he can catch me on his way up to HW, and there's no punching under the belt so I'll tie it rounds my forehead

JuanMa Lopez picks PAC's style to dominate that of Hatton...

The week after your fight, Manny Pacquiao is going to be facing Ricky Hatton. What’s your take on that fight, and who do you see winning it?

If we go based on styles, Pacquiao style should dominate Hatton’s.

Your 85 kilos of what? Fat or muscles? If it's 85 kilos of fat, PAc does not need to go HW.

To be fair neither fighter will have exact clones of the other man. I was quite impressed with Hatton's choice of Lara as sparring partner, as he looks very good from the few videos I have seen. He can throw a hundred punches a round from an awkward southpaw stance. But let's face it, nothing quite matches up to what either man will face come fight night. And let's not forget that all this sparring is done with headgear. Hattons head is tough enough, Manny hasn't shown us yet what he can take upstairs, and I'm not convinced that any of his sparring partners can hit to the body as hard as Hatton either.
