    Sr pad work is a little different from his brother, Sr seems to have his fighter hit the pad a little harder and they plant their feet more, Roger's has his fighter hit the pad lighter with a lot more punches being thrown and they more around allot more.

    I don't think they intend to fight from the out side anyway, I think they intend to keep hatton's head tucked and his hand a little high and take the fight in close and tight, pac does not fight too well in close and needs room to get his shots off, I think their looking to score when pac tries to make room to get off.

    There is no doubt that hatton is the stronger fighter in close. I think hatton will fight like the old hatton with new tricks.

    great speed but can he keep that throughout all the fight? i think that was just a little flurry. Pacquiao is much faster and consistent.

    What is going to matter is down to combination punching. Hatton looks to place one good shot and he his not too good at following up. Pacman can follow up with some serious fire power. If a fight breaks out, Hatton will get ****ed up. He is stronger but he Pacman is too fast and hits too hard for Hatton to just come in and bully him. We will find out if Pac's power is overrated or not this fight.

    That's the only version of turtle vs. rabbit I remember that involves a beating.
    Turtle cheats in the race by quadruple-teaming Rabbit. Rabbit beats Turtle with a stick until his spine snaps. Turtle complains to Ant that he came into the fight overweight.
    Hardly makes sense as an allegory of Hat v. Pac.

    Hattons fight with Ben Tackie was on ESPN Classic this week and I have to say I was impressed with the hand speed he showed. He is no way as slow as some people think he is.

    Why does Hatton train with such small gloves?

    Hatton is far from slow. He showed that in the Mayweather fight as Floyd underestimated his speed and had to adjust..took one round but :lol:. Anyway the reason Hatton is going to get his ass whooped is not b/c of his speed its how he comes in and we all know he is a sucker for pretty much any southpaw combination especially the right hook. See Collazo fight.
