Bilbo hit it on the head. The size difference isn't that great. The natural difference isn't as great as Oscar vs PBF. Pacman is the p4p #2 fighter in the world, and he would pay about 10x as much as Witter or Paulie. Duhh??
I would buy this every day and 2x on Sunday rather than watch Hatton fight Witter or Paulie, and in year or so it will take to make this fight, I would hope Ricky gets rid of one of those guys in the meanwhile.
Pac has longer reach and half inch taller than Hatton. But I don't think that matters after seeing the Williams-Quintana fight.Quote:

I would never imagine a Pac fan admitting that Pac simply wouldn't win against someone or at least have a challenging fight. But yeah, good point there about the weight.Quote:

Yes like in their 1st fight. of course it is hard to remember that kinda stuff after Pac's awesome display in round one. The counters and the bodyshots and the peppering to Pac's face that caused bleeding never happened right? I guess the pixels on my Plasma screen are not synchronized to the true airwaves of those that Pac Fantics receive.
I am not a MAB fan but I assume he is wayside with all the other undersized and geriatric Mexican fighters Pac has beaten. Pac is in his prime and fighting geezers.... What gives? JMM fight should result in a tough win but why not fight the baby bull .....? Instead Pac wants the lesser Diaz and an overrated midget from the UK!Quote:

I would take Pac over the Baby-Bull.
i'm sure some of you guy's opinions have changed. what a difference 10 months make. lol
After seeing him gain weight but didn't lose his speed would surely change minds of everyone here... Don't get me wrong... I still give the slight edge on Ricky but we had seen that Pac can truly give him a tough fight...
I started this thread when Manny was still untested in the higher weights.Now that he has shown that he can still carry his speed at higher weights, I am of the belief that Pacman vs HAtton wouldn't be a mismatch anymore.:cool:
My opinion hasn't changed. I was right all along, including my hope that Hatton would clean up Witter or Paulie. :cool:
I was wrong that Pac was too small for Oscar, but honestly, I think some of what happened over the weekend was that Oscar got old before our eyes. He looked shot, but even with that being said, I give Manny all props for the win. Manny vs Hatton is a great matchup. I said it then an my mind hasn't changed. Many was the number #2 P4P then, but he's #1 in the world right now, and he's the only guy who can compete with Hatton at 140.
Unless PBF comes out of retirement to face Manny, he's going to fight Manny and it will be boxings biggest event of 2009.
