ofcourse he's too big and strong for pacman to handle in the clinches but pacman has a chance if he dances around him and darts in and out with lightning fast combos.

Yea he is. He can do it, but the question is will he do it?

do you think manny can hurt him? if you watch hattons last fight with paulie, it seemed to me that hatton did not feel a thing from him. he just kept moving forward even after getting tagged

Yeah,but Pacquiao has eight times more ko than Malignaggi and Malignagi would not hurt my 8 years old sister,

yes he is but can he grab pac is the real question because pacman is too fast on his feet and he hardly clinches in battle anyway

No Manny can not hurt him. Hatton has a good chin and contrary to popular belief Manny doesn't have much power at this weight. Oscar DLH was walking through his shots easily and only took accumulated shots due to not having any defense. Even Floyd Mayweather who is considered by many to be feather fisted at 147, and even more so at 154, rocked granite chinned Oscar once or twice in their bout at 154.
Hatton will walk through Manny's punches but even he can't do it FOREVER. Manny can't hurt Hatton from a punch or even a few but IF he continues to pummel him in the same way he did to Oscar then Hatton too will begin to get worn down in the later rounds. But if history shows us who will be hurt early it will be Pac who already has 2 KO losses to body shots and Hatton is one of the elite body punchers in the sport today.

Hatton will have his chances tonight, trust me. Keep working away, use your jab, and make it count on the inside. The only problem is, Pacquaio is a different level of fighter. He almost has it all. If Hatton doesn't get some body work in quick, I fear that Pacquaio will be too strong in the late rounds for him to handle.

Anyway, Hatton KO 8. I can't imagine Ricky not landing something big throughout this fight. And when he does it will answer a lot of questions.
