Does Hatton really struggle against SOUTHPAWS?

Ive heard some Pac fans talking about how Collazo and Urango were able to give him trouble and I also reviewed the Collazo fight last night but pacman cannot take the same approach. Collazo is a very good inside fighter and he's alot more crafty than people give him credit for. Pacman is nothing like him.. He often struggles on the inside and he's not crafty at all. Plus Collazo was a natural welterweight and urango is also much physically stronger than pacman.. Pac isn't capable of pushing hatton around like that.. Does hatton have problems with southpaws? if hatton can clinch and hit, the southpaw stance won't matter. hatton by DDT.

Pacman is not a slick southpaw - he is justvery fast. I've said from day one that he is very ''squared up'' for a southpaw and he will be punished by Ricky's jab and left hook around the guard continously. Ricky struggled against Collazo, and in particular his right hook, but people forget that he at times laid abit of a beating on Louie who only took the punishment due to his extra size and strength - plus he's tough as nails. Pac cannot take the shots that Collazo took.

Billy Graham said that there is no point in analyzing Hatton's fight against Collazo, because Hatton had a chest infection... I'm sure you've just made an error, but it was against lazcano he was ill for not Collazo.

collazo is a slick boxer more llike floyd and paulie and thats what seems to give ricky problems as for urango hatton was givin him a boxing lesson until he got caught with a body shot by urango then hatton reverted to his huggin style

Collazo is a good fighter. Nothin wrong wit havin to fight hard to win against him. That fight just showed Hatton ain't as effective at WW. Urango hurt him to the body in the 5th, then didn't do shit the rest of the way basically. Pac's style will **** him up more than simply his lefty stance imo.

I think Collazo is a tougher style matchup for Hatton than Manny is. I completely agree.

He struggled against Eamonn Magee a few years ago too. Got dropped by a right hook in the 1st (which he was wide open to against Collazo too) and hurt in the 2nd. But Manny doesnt fight like a "coventional" southpaw I dont believe. Hes not as slippery as guys like Collazo and will be there to get hit.

I don't care what anybody says luis collazo would give anybody hell, and to me hatton looked like a dwarf in that fight next to collazo.....and urango imo is underrated.....has he lost since hatton?....No He really is one hell of an opponent. He is capable of beating any of the top welterweights. Hatton did pretty well saying he really had no gameplan.

The style dosen't matter, the stance itself causes problems whatever the fighters style.
