    yah! like bret "hitman" hart of wwf...opps, should i say HHH..Hold, Hug & Hit

    i agree he is not slow in his feet but i believe he has a poor footwork, just watch the middle rounds of the urango fight...he just defends using his shoulder and gloves

    I'd say that the fact that you are so hung up on his tactics as opposed to his abilities helps me understand why you think this is such an easy win for Pac...Pacquioa could definitely win, but It's no kind of shock if Hatton wins.

    another case of underrating pacquiao's ability and talent..hatton is not a guy that would beat pac. but one good thing about hatton is his heart and chin

    Pacquiao's ability at this weight is unknown in it's details.

    Pacquiao's punch resistance at this weight is unknown.

    Pacquiao has more ability than Pavlik, too.

    ability includes chin, one thing that would go against pavlik...david diaz is a big 135 pounder (maybe a natural 140 pounder) and was doing good before he lost to holt..

    and pac wont be an easy target for hatton. just watch how controlled pac's movement in his last 2 fights...

    That's undeniable, but there's nothing that makes for an 80/20 type split.

    odds right now are 75/25 but expect the british fans to make it 60/40 just like the PBF fight...last week of november 2007 the odds were 3:1 but come fight night it's became 2:1

    It will be a big upset if you judge it on how many people are saying Hatton has no chance.
