    I don't see any Hatton advantage over PAC... Not even one advantage...

    This is why I think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton...

    Talk about a one-sided, biased post.

    Come back when Pac has beaten a quality live opponent above 130 and we will talk.

    the biggest advantage of pacquiao is you would never see his punches coming...he has a punch wherein his shoulders never move...that is hard to anticipate

    Physical strength and PROVEN power at 140 for starters.

    Pac does have plenty in his favour in this fight, but Ricky does as well. I'd say they are fairly evenly matched in the grand scheme of things.

    In most areas you have listed it would be possible to make an argument for either fighter (or even) other than in speed.

    size, weight and most probably power would go to hatton. i don't know if pac is taller than hatton. they could be even. pac have not fought at 140 while hatton is undefeated at the weight.

    hatton was ko'd by the best p4p fighter. and that's his only loss. pac has been ko'd twice and kd'd by hussein and yeshmagambitov. and yet you think pac's chin is more sturdy? how so?

    Balance? maybe we can give this to Hatton... but does balance really matters?

    I say power/strength is unknown since they don't have a common opponent...

    pac's balance have improved tenfolds since his 122/126 days. balance is very important in boxing. if you don't have it, you are more likely to get flash knockdowned even with the weakest punch. also the first thing that was emphasized to me when i first get to a boxing gym was foot positioning and balance rather than how to throw a punch.

    so it is impossible to compare power and strength without a common opponent?

    size is even... PAC is taller with longer reach...

    weight, they'll come at the same weight at 140 then on fight night Hatton at 152 and PAC at 148...

    power = unknown

    PAC is taller

    PAC fought at 147
