Although Hatton had built a reputation as a hurtful puncher, Pacquiao said the now-retired "Golden Boy" possessed the edge in power.
"Hatton was strong but he wasn't like de la Hoya because Oscar was very heavy-handed," he said.
"Anyway, at this level when anyone hits you it hurts!"
-----------------------
*** Pacquiao also mentioned how Oscar was literally, his #1 idol ***
"When I was growing up I used to admire Oscar de la Hoya, he was my hero," Pacquiao explained.
"I also used to like Roy Jones Jnr and Julio Cesar Chavez but Oscar was my number one.
"I was very honoured to actually fight him, that was a real high point for me because of the amount of respect I had for him."
