What's the bigger factor? Hatton's size or Pacquiao's speed?

Hattons chin and bodypunches
Pac's power and ability/inability to take bodyshots

Pac's speed. He'll be able to use it better than Hatton can use his size imo.

hatton is just too strong and manny is boxing a weight division above his natural weight division.

hattons power will be key if he lands some heavy blows early and wears down pac. however if he doesn't i feel that pacs volume of punches and movement will sap hattons strength and pac will win.

hatton's only chance to win: body shots...

the worst thing that can happen to pac is if he gets hit with a perfect shot to the body... that's ricky's only chance.

no way he's outpointing pac

pac ko 8.. probably on cuts

pac's had a hard time making 135. 140 is his ideal weight.

i'd give full credit to ricky if he wins this fight

once again, it depends on the ref. if the ref lets hatton hold and grapple, then hatton's strength will be the biggest factor.

if the ref doesn't allow hatton to grapple, then pac's speed will be the biggest factor.

It wont matter if hatton bull rushes him cos he'll be getting knocked out.

Hatton can box a little, if he boxes his way inside by circling then leading, he can pull this off.

Thing about hatton is, Mayweather himself had issues with hattons footspeed, he closes distance really quickly, but he's gotta use it in the right way in this fight. Anyhow he getting inside manny, he will rough him up so badly, dont think manny is ready for that.
