They seem pretty equal in size. Questions that cross my mind: 1. Can Hatton handle Pac's power? 2. Who is the faster fighter? 3. Has Pac or Hatton fought anyone similar to eachother? Your expert opinions are appreciated. sorry pic is so small
Those tale of tape are usually bull****. I remember when they listed Wlad as 6'5 and Mccline 6'6 and Wlad was like 2" taller. Here is a pic of Vitali and Mccline This content is protected
1. i think so. i believe pac will be comfortable at 140lbs. plus, he is fast enough to avoid those heavy bombs from hatton 2. pac is the faster fighter no doubt. hatton's speed however, is underrated. 3. the closest type of fighter that you can compare to hatton which pac has faced would be david diaz, although we all know that hatton is more suited to inside fighting is has more skills and physical advantage than d. diaz. hatton, i believe, has never faced someone like pac though.
Ive seen Hatton upclose a couple of days after his fight with Tackie, and he is very thickset for his height. Short arms and legs. Hatton has very underated speed, he easily closed down Mayweather, but was ineffective on the inside due to numerous reasons. I think he will be able to close down Pacquaio, but it depends whether he can do so without taking numerous punches.

Interestingly Pac seems bigger... however I expect Hatton to weigh much more on the night and be naturally a lot stronger.
Opening post states "Can Hatton handle Pac's power?" ????? was this a mis-print, i seriously hope so.
Ya, no question that Pac is the faster fighter and I dare say the more technical of the two. Power wise is up in the air and people are banking on Hatton grit and determenation to get the job done, I am leaning towards Pac .
