Pacquiao is faster than Mayweather. Everybody says that Hatton is a good body puncher, but Pacquiao will hurt Hatton with a body shot. Watch the Delahoya fight... Delahoya was hurt badly by a body shot in the 5th, when Pacquiao really started to put the beatdown on him. Hatton does not hit that hard and doesn't put combinations together very well because he hugs so damn much. I hate his style. His nickname should be Ricky "Hugman" Hatton.
LOL
U are partial Local Boy... Anyway, I was in the same boat with DelaHoya and Diaz Destruction. However, they weren't the best out there at those weight classes. Hatton was faster than Malinaggi. Killed him. He looks quick. I think that he is better than you are giving him credit for.
He does not hug anymore, that is the old Hatton, the brawler which was just the style that was needed for Mayweather, and maybe the style for this fight.
That said... 4 rounds one of them goes down. It's a slug fest and someone will go down.
No way this makes it into the 7th. No way.
DeLaHoya fight was a sham. That dude would've lost to just about anybody, unfocused, Lethargic, he had a horrible showing. Unfair to go off that assessment.
I want Pac to win, however, it has to be pointed out that Hatton is fighting back to back p4p.
That is unreal.
