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

[FLY TY]

I keep hearing the argument about Hatton being bigger. We all know that Pacquiao is faster. What do you think will matter most? I think Pacquiao is gonna beat Hatton based on his speed and skill. Hatton's strength is an issue, but I don't think it'll matter too much.

that's the million dollar question.......determines who will win.

personally, i think hatton's attributes are the biggest factors in the fight......its great to have speed against hatton, but if you like to "duke it out" and aren't a defensively oriented fighter, i think sooner or later you get into a brawl.....and that favors hatton over pacman.

Pacquiaos' speed is overrated. Freddie Roach said Amir Khan is faster than Manny Pacquiao. Kendall Holt is faster than Pacquiao. Zab Judah is faster than Pac. Ricky Hatton's footwork is better than Pac's. I can't believe how old most of the posters on this forum are and the ridiculous things they that say just to go along with what everyone else is saying. No logic at all. It's Pre-Pavlik/Hopkins all over again with Pacquiao taking Pavlik's place, Outcome will be the same. Unbelievable posts.

Yeah, we're all ******ed here and you're the only boxing genius....

The thing about Size is that sometimes a guy moving up the division gets tagged the first time and he freezes and it's like "crap.. that really hurt" and he's no longer thinking about doing his job and is purely thinking about NOT getting hurt, perfect example is Malinaggi in Round 2, that right cross shock him up and he didn't want to be in the ring from that moment on.

That's Girlie Malignaggi you're about. Pacman got his a$$ whooped twice early in his career, clocked by JMM good but never went down, and you probably saw what happened to JMM's 2 latest victims. He just keep coming for more. He knows he's in the hurt business, he'll be more than happy to return the favor. I just hope the turnbuckle won't be in the way this time to spoil the fun...

The funny thing is I don't thin Hatton is that much bigger than Pacman and I don't think Manny is that much faster.

pac's speed as i dont see hatton as a huge puncher. he can ****, yeah, but floyd already decked him and tszyu dropped him too. so, i think pac can drop hatton if he gets in a rhythm.

i wonder if hatton will try to smother pac like he tried with tszyu. and how well the referee will respond if he does.

personally, i dont see pac's early career as relevent in any way or form. he is completely different fighter.

and i have seen every fight of pac's since 2000. and some before then too. way different.
