    Hatton looks faster to me on them pads, so you are telling me if a trainer like Mayweather sr who

    in speed, works on it with Hatton and tries to improve his handspeed, there will be no slight improvement?

    I think the whole fight depends on if Hatton can instigate enough exchanges on the inside.If he can manage to achieve that then i can't see any reason why he can't stop Manny.If the fight is fought at distance then i honestly think Hatton gets ripped to shreds.

    Well in my view he looks a bit sharper and faster to me, but I guess we see on fight night. Even small changes can have a big impact on fight night.

    i agree, and ive actually got hatton to win this. you can get almost 4-1 from betfair for it too.
    pac will not have experienced anything like hattons mauling style whereas hatton should be more than used to power over and above pac's. like you say, its just a case of whether hatton can pin pac down enough to get in there. but if mayweather is trying to turn him into a machine that can out-jab from the outside then its game over because even if you have the best shammy in the world you still can't polish a poo.

    I wish hed keep his mouth shut sometimes. Hatton has 1 way of fighting and thats it really bar the odd rare instance hes no Calzaghe or Hopkins

    BUT for me if Hatton can handle the southpaw stance negate Mannys speed, with good movement and getting up close hatton can certainly win this

    Total and utter bollocks. I disagree with almost everything Ricky says. Pac throws all sorts of punches and has speed and power in all of them. Pac boxe DLH beautifully and we already know he can brawl like ****. Hattons talking out of his arse.

    Pacman is nowehere near as good as his devotees make out. He is beatable and has a very suspect defence. Because Hatton will hit Pacman harder than than anyone ever has before and he is the first live opponent Pac has faced in a while I see this as a 50/50fight.

    However, Hatton question how versatile Pac is is riddiculous. He should take a look at his own style... Yes there was some obvious improvement in the Mallignaggi fight but the way some of Hatton's devotees go on you think he was better than Leonard :?

    yes, that Juan Manuel Marquez rematch only three fights ago. God, he's not up to much is he? Haven't seen him beat a lineal title holder and the no/2 competitor in his division by KO recently, have we?

    And that De La Hoya who was two divisions above him? Yeah, he had no chance. That's what everyone was saying going in.

    OK I worded that wrong but De La Hoya was shot. So shot that even someone like Amir Khan moving up two weight divisions would have destroyed him that night...

    "Brawl like ****"...do me a favour. The first sign of things getting rough and Pacman will jump so far back that he'll be in the cheapseats.

    Then Little Ricky will storm forwards and get clocked by a straight leg. And his legs will desert him. Maybe he can lean on the ring post like last time?

    :thumbsup

    And you could argue that he actually got a gimme over Marquez.

    Pacs career over the past four fights has been a bit smoke and mirrors,and will certainly not have prepared him for anyone like Hatton

    What would you suggest Hatton's last 4 fights are? Hardly blown away looking at them...
