    Who else could prepare Hatton for what Pac brings to the table better? Discuss.

    Those two are the best he can get... bet bob arum wouldn't allow valero though he is in top rank now.

    One of pac's secret to success is his world class sparring mates.

    He had sparring with the likes of valero, vasquez, holloway, linares, guerrero, ortiz, khan, sta. cruz to name a few and now he is getting the Undefeated Urbano Antillion.

    like he said... "if you train hard... the fight is easy" :D

    Hatton is on another level and I do think that Valero would be a good person to spar with ... Ortiz is somewhat of a hype job right now --

    I have more faith in Ortiz than Valero tbh. But Valero is good though... I'd like to see him step it up.:good

    Valero is great to prepare for Pac. Morales used him before the first fight and Oscar was busted up by Valero before being demolished by Pac.

    If I were Roach, I would hire Valero before Hatton can. Pay him to be waterboy or something

    Valero can't help Pacquiao ... it wouldn't make sense ... they're both southpaws and Valero doesn't hold any resemblence to Hatton.

    Valero cant cause hes with Top Rank, and with Ortiz Hatton runs the risk of getting beaten badly and losing confidence.

    Not a lot of other choices for Hatton, unless he can convince Collazo to do some sparring but that wouldnt seem right.

    For Pacman's camp, maybe get David Diaz in there again with Pacman and perhaps Kid Diamond.

    Ortiz is not that good ... I don't know how you would think that he could beat up Hatton ... if anything ... a sparring session with Hatton makes him think twice about himself.

    He's too tall.

    Hatton needs shorter sparring partners that have fast feet and good low pivots' out of traps to try and work on bulling them to the ropes to work.

    Good one. Darch fights like a crab or a lobster or something, he's not as fast of foot as Pac either.

    Valero is indeed a good choice I think.
