Style wise, yes. But he's just too small.

Then again you don't win fights by backpeddling, they only score punching.

He has to get by Casamayor first and Casamayor is slightly bigger than him naturally.

Why not call out Pacquiao? He has legitimate cause for calling him out because a lot of fans thought he won both fights against him, even though I didn't.

this is true
no wonder jmm lost in the 2nd fight
hatton might win then cause he will come forward while jmm will back out.
JMM needs to fight more aggressive like when he fought that thai fighter and that filipino guy jimrex jaca...but when he fight pacquaio he backpeddles and waits to counter pacman he should just trade with pacquiao his fans are way faster then pacmans.

Fighting aggressively against Jaca and Terdsak gets you exciting wins.

Fighting aggressively against Pacquiao gets you knocked out.

Hatton i would say is just too big for him.

If they were in the same weight division and about the same size he could no doubt.

I think at this point in the game I think Marquez could beat Hatton. He'd counter punch Hatton all night, especially with the left hook, Hatton's biggest nightmare. I don't know if he could knock Ricky out, I kind of doubt it really, but he could decision him easy I think....again at this point in the game.

i think you would see something similar to the cotto marg fight...and hatton would win but no doubt jmm is the better boxer!
