Hatton is a solid 140 puncher (though no wrecking ball), yet that was when he put everything into his punches with that annoying little grunt of his. He doesn't put as much into it in his pad work with FM and I don't think he has the natural leverage to get power the way FM wants him to punch, so if he can't cause the damage he won't take the W IMO.
The new "Ricky Hatton"... It's all a ruse! Ain't no way Ricky will change. He might improve his defensive skills, move his head a bit more, and use his jab to get inside but the basics of who Hatton is, fighting on the inside getting to fighter by pressure is not going to change.

Pacquiao is in his prime and Hatton is on his way down... in more ways than one.
