How much of a strength adavantage does Hatton have over Pac? I watched a Hatton interview earlier where he says he is faster than a weight drained DLH, Diaz + JMM. But what he has been repeating over and over is that he will be by far the strongest man Pac has faced. How much of a strength advantage do you think Hatton will have? I pick Pac to win for 2 reasons, his speed and also I don't think he is just going to crumple in a heap when he takes punishment.
I expect to be a fair bit stronger than PAC. Hattons style has always been ultra physical and bar Urango - who is a unit and Floyd - just too damm good i dont think he has ever struggled moving opponents with his strength and that includes people like Tszyu - but hatton has to have the right game plan to make use of his strength - fingers crossed he does
Its fine been strong, but good movement will offset strength... every time. Pac isn't a wrestler he pops his shots in and then moves intelligently to the left or the right... Its very rare you'll see him in a clinch. Strength is not going to be a factor on its own... it will need to be coupled with creative attacks...Good movement and intelligent pressure. Not easy agaisnt a fighter as good as Pac. That been said I still have a feeling that Hatton stops him with a bodyshot.....
Hatton of course stopped Castillo with an awesome body shot, so it could end that way. I just don't buy all this "Pac's glass body" stuff that is being posted, I think he'll be pretty strong himself at 140.
They will both be strong, but Hatton has the advantage in this department, but he needs to be able to use the strength effectively.
yeah i dont buy the glass rib cage thing either someone would have found it again by now if that were the case - i think the 2 body shot KO's were just something that happend to a young up and coming fighter.
weight drained aswell it is a known reaon for a weak body strenght is all well and good but you dont need it to be a great boxer and if you cant use it it is useless
I believe Hatton is the strongest opponent Pacquiao has faced, by quite a margin. My prediction is Hatton stopping Pacquiao with a body shot, not because I believe in Pacquiao having a particular weakness in this area but because he hasn't shown a particular strength. Roach made it clear in 24/7 that he doesn't want Pacquiao taking any shots to the body, it's Hatton's greatest weapon.
hatton will have a big strenght advantage although this will not win him the fight and if he believes thia alone is gonna do it he is gonna lose kinda reminds me of when naz fought barrera all naz was saying was if junior jones could ko barrera then i can, thats all he had there are so many more variables to take into account especially when fighting someone like pac
It might play a part especially in the latter round. Pac might have speed but I can still see this fight being fought up close.
a lot is being said about pacs movement, but hattons footwork is underestimated. I think he will be able to close the space where his strength can then be effective. If you watch the Odlh fight,even in his zombie state he was able to get pac on the ropes a place he does'nt want to be against hatton
