    valero doesn't have the speed. im thinking joan guzman will be a better sparring partner for him to prepare for pacman.

    Hatton-Pac fight is in peril.
    Hatton demands that ring posts be dismantled during his fight.

    I just don't think Hatton has the speed for Pacman.

    even though he doesn't have pac's speed he would be a very good sparring partner coz he is a tenacious southpaw. victor ortiz would be perfect IMO.

    true but he does have power to hurt him. Pacman's gotta watch out for those body shots and not get careless. He has to fight the same style like he did against delahoya. Go in and out before hatton can throw a punch.

    the problem is before you could react his fist is in your face! that's what you call speed.

    ricky should work on his timing that's why a speedster sparring partner is a must.

    maul, brawl, wrestle, hold and push thats all any other way and when it comes down to throwing punches Pac will be lighting Hatton up! if Pac can hang with Hattons strength and physicality it will be a short nights work for Pac

    Hatton is so slow w/ his wild swings that often miss its target. Pac can capitalize on this weakness.

    true.. i dont think pacman should try to brawl with hatton. He should used his footwork and go in and out like he did vs delahoya. He needs to be very careful of hatton's body shot and his power.

    If a brawl do happen he needs to watch out for those vicious liver shot by hatton. I think roach is smart enough to put on a good gameplan for pacman to avoid those body shots by hatton.

    hatton won't be standing in front of pac like a statue either. he will bring a heavy dose of heat. not sure if pac can stand it.

    yea i expect hatton to pressure pacman like what he said in the interview. the thing is pacman is so successful when it comes to fighting a brawler and with his improved style. I think hatton's aggressive style will be perfect for pacman. I expect pacman to win this fight, if not by TKO/KO then a UD :good
