    Does Hatton really struggle against SOUTHPAWS?

    Ive heard some Pac fans talking about how Collazo and Urango were able to give him trouble and I also reviewed the Collazo fight last night but pacman cannot take the same approach. Collazo is a very good inside fighter and he's alot more crafty than people give him credit for. Pacman is nothing like him.. He often struggles on the inside and he's not crafty at all. Plus Collazo was a natural welterweight and urango is also much physically stronger than pacman.. Pac isn't capable of pushing hatton around like that..

    Does hatton have problems with southpaws?

    The style dosen't matter, the stance itself causes problems whatever the fighters style.

        He really is one hell of an opponent. He is capable of beating any of the top welterweights. Hatton did pretty well saying he really had no gameplan.

          He struggled against Eamonn Magee a few years ago too. Got dropped by a right hook in the 1st (which he was wide open to against Collazo too) and hurt in the 2nd.

          But Manny doesnt fight like a "coventional" southpaw I dont believe. Hes not as slippery as guys like Collazo and will be there to get hit.

            I think Collazo is a tougher style matchup for Hatton than Manny is.

                Billy Graham said that there is no point in analyzing Hatton's fight against Collazo, because Hatton had a chest infection...

                  Collazo is a good fighter. Nothin wrong wit havin to fight hard to win against him. That fight just showed Hatton ain't as effective at WW. Urango hurt him to the body in the 5th, then didn't do **** the rest of the way basically. Pac's style will **** him up more than simply his lefty stance imo.

                    it was'nt only pacfans who thought he struggled vs southpaws!even commentators in those fights thought so.i agree collazo is a bit underrated but you definitely overrates him if you compare him to pac.
