    He was saying Oscars' reach and height advantage meant nothing, because he didn't throw punches. So it wasn't even a factor, so why bring that up, saying hatton doesn't have these? When fighting Oscar was like fighting a man without those advantages because he didn't utilize them.

    dlh didn't throw that much punches since he got beaten to the punch by pac. even before dlh can unleash a punch, pac was tagging him with a sharp and quick lead left all night long. pac will probably do the same w/ hatton given hatton's weakness when fighting southpaws. dlh was also known to have a difficult time fighting southpaws.

    Imagine if the fight will happen in England and Manny will say hi to his newborn baby. The dialogue will be like this: "I would like to say hi to Queen Elizabeth Pacquiao!"

    Some Brits might think that Manny is cursing their queen! lol

    no, i was answering a post where he said that oscar had a big reach and height advantage and i was replying that oscar didn't throw any punches so that height and reach advantage didn't mean anything.

    Although Pacman put on a great show against Oscar, one thing became obvious: he does not have the same power he had in featherweight or super featherweight. His left landed constantly but he couldn't hurt Oscar the way he hurt Barrera, Morales or Marquez. I think the same stands for Hatton. Hatton is stronger and faster than Oscar, this time Pacquiao will feel the power of a hard-hitting junior lightweight champion.

    Pacquiao has way better skills, but for Hatton it is enough to land a single, clear shot to the right place on the body and it will be over. I keep my fingers crossed for Pac, but I could easily imagine it ending the way Oscar ended up against B-Hop. Itt will be a war, but Hatton has more chance to hurt the other guy. Tszyu, Castillo, perhaps Urango hit stronger at this weightclass than Pacman. On the other hand, Pacquiao has never felt the power he will feel when he faces Hatton.

    Go Pac!!! :bbb
