"I told Manny I would be very disappointed in him if he didn't have Hatton stopped by the end of the third round. A lot of people ask me if I'm worried about Manny fighting Hatton since Hatton has never lost a fight at 140 pounds. As long as Floyd Mayweather [Sr.] is in Hatton's corner I have absolutely no concerns. It's not like his brother Roger is training him. Floyd training Hatton for this fight is our biggest advantage."

Roach strikes back! Gotta love this shit-talk war between trainers. I score this round for Roach:

It’s not like his brother Roger is training him.

Zing!

The more he talks, the more I think Hatton will win. Roach is trying to take the pressure off Pac and put it on himself. If there’s one man, besides PBF, who has the personality to easily handle the glare of this fight, it’s Hatton. This will be the best Hatton we see, and I know he hits harder than JMM. I initially had Pac winning by late KO, now I’m not sure which way I will go.

Hatton definitely punch harder than MARQUEZ, but Marquez is a lot faster and more technical. Marquez, the counter-puncher that he is, really had given Pacman the hardest time.. If only Hatton can bring into the ring some Marquez’ technics, then, a W for Hitman will be possible..
