    Im biased, obviously, but id have to say Hatton..stong legs, great center/gravity, and underrated footwork

    I would say Hatton has better balance than Pacquiao.

    His legs are exceptionally strong, otherwise with his defence and only a 'good' rather than 'very good' chin he would have been down more than three times in his career.

    Pacman has good balance in my mind. So does Hatton. The question will be can Pacman win this fight behind a jab as Hatton walks in.

    Hatton, Pacquiao still does not have very good balance.

    Hatton, Pac's style causes him to be unbalanced at times. I dont know if this is a disadvantage because it kakes him harder to hit.

    They have different style, so I can't decide..Hatton has good balance but it makes him look flat footed, pacquiao's awkwardness makes him look he has no balance.....so I would say they're about even..

    Hatton, but against a Southpaw balance/positioning changes. Pac has better/faster footwork imo

    Hatton has, Pacman's balance has got a lot better under Roach's supervision though compared to his early days.

    Man you have got to be the most deluded pac nuthugger on ESB and that is saying something.

    I am a fan of Pac and love watching his fights but some of you pac fan boys are as deluded as a dimensia sufferer on acid at times

    pac. you'd think that side to side in and out movement will work if pac does'nt have very good balance. try imagining hatton doing that. you've got your answers there.

    :patsch Being able to move around the ring has nothing to do with balance... go try some boxing... maybe you'll then understand what the term balance in a boxing ring means
