    skill will determine the outcome as they both have hearts of lions. so you have to favour pacquiao

    pac v hatton

    speed = Pacquiao
    footwork = Hatton
    lateral movement = Pacquiao
    agility = Pacquiao
    workrate = Even
    stamina = Even (Perhaps Pac just)
    accuracy = Even
    defense = Pacquiao by default
    heart = Even - neither are in question
    chin = Hatton (proven at 140)
    power = Even

    Agreed



    BTW Rickys extra large toe's have not been taken into consideration,more stability or trip hazards??

    Strength would favor hatton but not by a mile.

    Speed would favor pac by milesssssssss.

    So do the math.

    Hatton will be much stronger than Pacquiao at 140 - not saying Pac is weak by any means.

    Ricky is also an accurate puncher - Floyd made him miss a lot, but there was no method to most of what Hatton was doing that night. Pac is more hittable, as you will no doubt see.

    Well your definitly right about mayweather is harder to hit than pacquiao for many reason and one of them is that mayweather tends to run away a lot more. Second hatton is more hittable than pacquiao and pacquiao has more accuracy than hatton.

    The only real thing that I favor hatton is his brutal strength and he is the king at 140lbs. So this is "the" match to see.

    imo rickys footwork along with lateral movement is horrible and is one of the reasons why he's always clintching/hugging. okay, hatton cutts off the ring but as far as in & out, side to side movement he's horrible. -imo ricky is a strait up & down fighter with little headmovement & telegraphic faints. pac has the overall better footwork unless im missing something...

    based on theyre past 3 fights pac has thrown more and landed more. workrate & accuracy goes to pac hands down.

    stamina & conditioning = pac (there should be no debate there)

    one punch power & strength goes to ricky.

    Can you pls tell me which fight are you referring that his opponent hit pac at will that you could conclude that PAC is more hittable?!

    As far as I know PAC wins coz of his amazing speed so what makes him hittable?!

    For Hatton to win he should hit PAC at will and eventually tears down the body of PAC..

    Problem is can Hatton hit PAC consistently to break him down?!

    Absolutely none of that matters. The only one's that would matter are height and reach, but this fight will be fought in close quarters anyway, neither is going to use any reach advantage to box at range.

    Mark my words, if Hatton can close the gap and not get tagged on the way in, he win's this fight. His work on the inside is far superior and largely un-noticed.
