I'm finding this fight hard to predict, mainly because I really don't count the ODH win for something overly impressive, I mean even his sparringpartners beat him.
But the thing is, I've seen pictures of them together, and I really don't see the same sizedifference as I did with ODH. This was a huuuugee factor in that fight, and I believe 90% of BS thought that Oscar could take it. But Hatton doesn't seem that much bigger than Pacquaio to be honest, so there is no factor here.
I really haven't seen anyone with the same handspeed as Pacquiao fight Hatton, and I believe he will have a hard time dealing with it, especially because Pac-man is slick, moving in and out doing combos 2-3 times before taking a breather. Hatton won't get any breaks in this fight - But neither will Pacquiao, and if this is the Ricky Hatton I know, he will be taking 2 punches and hit 1. So the whole theory goes down to Pacquaios chin, Hatton is strong, very strong.
But nontheless, my bet is that Pacquaio will be able to coop from his punches, and bring it home due to his speed and workrate. I don't see Hatton winning rounds over the stretch.
Anybody wanna bet 10k? Pacquaio - Hatton.
