    "Hatton's defense must be impenetrable"

    This is what they just said on radio sport, that hatton must fight defensive cos it will confuse pac and then he should try to just wear mannys body down?

    But by doing this, I think he would give too many rounds away.

      By looking at how thin Hattons core appeared, more than a punch or two from Manny would probably break on of Hatton's ribs. He looks too thin and weak, Pacquiao looks thicker than Ricky yet is 2 lbs lighter?

      Answer: Ricky cut a lot of weight at the last minute to make weight and hopes to rehydrate to be the bigger man but I bet he is gonna fade as the rds go on.

        It would be a good idea of Hatton doing this after 3-4 fights with Mayweather, Sr. but just with one it isn't, Hatton's defense wouldn't be perfect enough yet to stand on the defensive, I think he just has to be in Manny's face and work that body... obviously moving his head more and being more cautious on his way in like Floyd, Sr. has been apparently training him to do...

        Hatton needs to fight on the inside, he has got underrated speed fair enough but he hasn't got more speed then Pacquiao and if he tries to fight on the outside he will be tagged on numerous occasions.

        He always rehydrate over night after weigh-ins and you can always see his ribs like that cause hes dehydrated... fight night you will not see his ribs as much. Fading later on in rounds though fair enough I could agree with that.
