Based on his current form I'll take Hatton by brutal KO. Manny looked great against a depleted De La Hoya but Hatton is too fast and too strong. I feel his body punching would be the defining factor. An exciting fight, if it happens.
Anyone would get cold fighting in an open air venue in the UK in May but Hatton should be used to the weather if he fights at home. Oh! I see...!
I have to agree. Floyd REALLY put a whole new element to work with Hatton's style. Even he said that he didn't know how much he;d be able to reprogram, but obviously a lot has changed... even how he keeps his hands up. That hatton that fought PBF would lose to Pacman, i think, due to an accumulation of punches landed. But Floyd seems to have made Hatton harder to hit - in my opinion.
I like pacman chance in this fight. I think his speed will be the difference in this fight. I see pacman winning by knockout. Just like the delahoya fight there was no knockdown but too much punishment by pacman will make the referee or the corner to stop the fight.
Pac can't even beat up pillowhands Bradley a blown up 140lb'er, how is Pac going to handle a real welterweight man like Matthew H?
