So Hatton might be able to bring an offense. OK, that is one half of the equation. Can he defend himself against a puncher who is as accurate, fast, and smart as Mayweather? I don't think so. Hatton won't be able to get that many punches off against Mayweather.

How is the short reach a detriment when you fight in that style? He needs to get claose and explode on you, he's not trying to throw long punches like a Klitschko or Pavlik. Long arms would detract from certain styles, and there have been GREAT short-armed punchers in the past.Comment

Man if hatton didnt have such short arms gving mayweather a 7 inch advantage and he wasn't 2 inches shorter I'd say mayweather might have a problem.
Well if mayweather wasn't as skilled as he is.. accurate.. and take a lil of his speed away because it will be hard for hatton to dodge..
Take all that away and mayweather would have a problem lol.
but i'll say one thing.. His workout on the bag is INSANE... I'm gonna start doing it twice the week.Comment

hatton is a face first fighter though.Originally posted by DA1CATAS View Post
Meaning he usually doesn't jab his way in and relies on the initial slip of the 1st punch to get inside!!!
That's why his reach doesn't matter as much as it should.
And factor in his footwork and footspeed....
And you have a great fighter.Comment

how many ounces were the gloves you used on the bodybag? i think hatton uses 10oz, same as the ones he uses in the fights. imagine doing that with 16oz.
