    Not really, he acknowledged JMM was a very tough fight for Pac...even before their first fight. He acknowledged PBF would be very tough. He thought he had to fight a perfect game plan against Oscar. He thinks Hatton is tailor made cos of his style and attributes as a fighter. I pretty much agree with all of Roach analysis before he even makes those comments I always thought the same. Pac has stylistic weaknesses and strengths, against Hatton he will have the stylistic advantage. Last time had had style advantage was against Diaz..

    Hatton isn't similar to Diaz at all, other than the fact that they come forward.

    Chin - Hatton > Diaz
    Heart - Hatton > Diaz
    Speed - Hatton >>>>> Diaz
    Power - Hatton > Diaz
    Ringsmarts - Hatton >>>>> Diaz

    Hatton has no defence and diminishing punch resistance, course he is tailor made for pac

    I still think it will be a good fight, a war! I see Pac winning the exchanges though.

    No. Hatton applies alot of pressure and good foot work that would confuse Pac Man. Would be an interesting fight though.

    I think it may turn out like Pac vs Morales I - where Hatton gets the win through will and desire.

    But may be shot afterwards!

    Nah! Shot at the rubber match because Pac Ruined him, and not shot in the 2nd fight but past his Prime

    I

    I guess people really have different opinions, which makes threads really interesting

    Morales was done after the first Pac fight, totally done.

    Whatever he had left, it went in that fight.

    The other fights were purely on heart and instinct.

    No he's not. Past his prime but not shot. You don't go winning majority of the first 5 rounds against Pac if you are totally shot.
