    I was gonna say Hatton has nice angles, great body shots, high volume punching, power, speed & picture perfect left hook to the body or head. No real jab to speak of though.

    He is also average from the outside with really only the lead left hook as a weapon. But his inside game is great...and I agree with all of what you said.

    Agreed. He's only average from the outside because he has a shitty jab or nojab at all at times.

    I just explained to another poster that Wlad is an offensive machine even though his game is almost completely from the outside! Hatton is nearly the exact opposite.................

    IF Ricky loses to Floyd it'll be because he couldn't get inside, stay there and land. Floyd will try to keep moving and throwing accurate counters as Hatton tries to come in.

    Obviously it's Calzaghe and all the factors that have been suggested are his main assets exception taken for intensity and relentlessness which are Pacquiao's, but remember that the best current fighter is not that good as an offensive one.

    You talk of best offensive fighter?

    Then Pav is the man. Never mind the speed but timing? Don't tell me he has less good timing because he just made Miranda and Taylor look like average fighters and pushed them to retreat.
