one inch is not going to matter much, will it? after all, pac is 5'6 1/2". the physical advantage of hatton is his weight which will be about 4 lbs more than pac come fightime. other than that, as the tale of the tape shows, they are basically the same.
Mark my words, Pac WILL back Hatton up. He won't from the get go, but by the mid-rounds, Hatton will be a bit hesitant in his approach, less aggressive. And Pac doesn't just have hand-speed, his accuracy and timing has become very effective, he's become a very well-rounded puncher, not just a slugger with speed and power.
Ok, Hatton's left hook would not hit Pac that much as Pac is a southpaw. Southpaws are harder to hit with your left hand. However, this fight will be so competitive.
like pacs last two fights, this is gonna look like a mismatch. i said it. hattons style is made for pac. pac likes fighters that are aggressive. sorry peoples but this fight isn't even close.:bbb
i think PAC is just toooooo active for the likes of Hatton. Pac is not afraid and will take the fight to him and will definitely get off his shots first on Hatton...and those damn quick combos he throws will be sharp. He stays on his toes an awful lot and is in and out real fast....i do think if Hatton mauls him to slow him down he will have a good chance.....i thought Hatton fought a good fight against Floyd who he was outmatched in skill and speed in this fight i dont think he is so outmatched in skill as he is in speed.
:nono Not happening. The rest perhaps..... but Hatton ain't going backwards, unless he chooses to. Very unlikely.
yep. i see ricky stalking pac early till until about mid rounds where pacs left lands more and more setting up a dramatic stoppage late.
Hatton has been at 140lbs for 10 years. Paccy has never been smacked by a big hitter above 130lbs. If Ricky dosen't cut badly, I believe he'll win by KO in the middle rounds.
This will be an interesting fight for 2 warriors, but I go for Pac for this one... He has the speed, power and good footworks. His 2 losses was only because he was drained and was hit below the belt before though, but he was never knock out in a fair fight...
