HATTON v PACQUIAO

[islaw44]

Hatton will look older like De La Hoya, the speed is to much to handle for Hatton, and the footwork and hand speed will give problem the Hitman to "Hit the pacMan" for he will be always one step away to connect a good punch to much faster Pacquiao. Hatton has the puncher chance though.

Pac will jump on him right away with flurries.

One of the truest statements in boxing is that speed overcomes power. Pac is clearly faster and more skilled than Ricky. If Hatton was in his prime...you could say that his natural weight advantage combined with his relentless energy would be a big advantage over the smaller guy. But Hatton has ballooned so much in between fights throughout the years...i just don't think he is that fighter anymore. I also don't know how much he can improve his skill and defense with only several months under Floyd Snr. That all being said...Pac is taking a risk. Hatton SHOULD be a more live body than Oscar...so you never know when the bigger man can just end things with his power. But i doubt it. I have Pac winning on points or late stoppage. I'll be rooting for Ricky though!
