Bahh I don't know why people keep saying Manny is such a smaller guy. Hatton has a 1/2 inch height advantage. That's it. Manny has the advantage in EVERY other physical attribute. Frame, arm length, muscle mass, muscle/fat ratio, cardiovascular fitness, training regiment...and on top of that, he has significant speed and footwork advantages (personally, I think they should look into what's in Pac's water bottle, since he's evolved so much physically so late in his career).
Anyway, the reasons that people give for Hatton being a favorite- his size and style- I disagree and discredit completely. The only fighters that can take out Pac's aggressive offensive style is with an equally effective Defensive style, or a sigificantly better offensive style...neither of which hatton possesses.
I do, however, disagree that his tactics are dirty. Many other fighters have held and clinched, but the only ones who get mocked for it are the ones who are actually effective with it. I'll give Ricky all the props in the world if he can utilize his grab and go style against Pac.
Pacquiao TKO 10
