    Had my anorak head on there like?:yep I pounced like a cougar!:yep
    Well i tend to think Pacman's rapier like straight punches might be to much for Ricky and bust him up.On the other hand however,if Hatton can manage to instigate enough exchanges on the inside,get the body shots off and rough Manny up then i believe he could win and stop him. A fight fought on the outside i think ther's only one winner.

    Who were the fighters of similar size to Pac that Hatton has fought in his career?

    I would imagine that most of Ricky's opponents were taller than him.

    How well did he do against them?

    That is true and he usually goes to the physio in manchester and they try to straighten it out. Whatever the rumours it'll be a great fight. Hatton TKO 9

    No, I'm really asking. I havent seen too many Hatton fights, and I'm wondering how well he fights against smaller men.

    Because I know that Pac always had trouble fighting fighters smaller than him, back in his earlier days. Especially against stocky, rough, bob and weave sluggers.

    i kinda get what you mean...but to be a proper point of reference it would need to be a smaller man who was also a southpaw...i dont think picking a small man that hatton met, who is completely different in style to manny, would tell us anything.

    Now that you mention it it's not very good. Having said that Hatton in virtually every fight is conceding height and reach,even Manny out reaches Hatton,who's very short armed.

    The doctor stopped the fight. De La Hoya didn't quit, despite what most people seem to want to believe.
