Obliterating a Naturally bigger David Diaz is a feat by itself but pitting Manny against a fighter who has been fighting as a junior welter all his life is CRAZY IMO, let alone a Ricky Hatton:(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad move IMO.
Team Pacquiao says, they'll take the hatton fight for the title and the big purse. They also said they'll take the oscar fight at 147 for the big purse, now that will be rediculous. the hatton fight is becoming more logical but oscar at 147 :nono: but pac did mention he is most comfortable at 135 and would like to stay in the division.Quote:

Now that would be a funny specatacle.Quote:

It's no more lose lose for Hatton the Mayweather was for De La Hoya.
If Hatton fought and beat Pacquiao then history would see that as by far his biggest win.
I really want to see this fight, and now I think it's the ONLY fight choice for both men if they want to have a real boxing mega event. The fight would be huge in the UK and the Phillipines and would even attract a big draw in America.
Great matchup imo.
I just posted the following on another thread, and I'm too lazy to retype it:
Quote:
Let's say for the sake of argument that Pacquiao goes to 140 and fights Hatton next. And let's say for the sake of argument, that Hatton, naturally the bigger man at 140, beats Pacquiao, who may not carry his power too well into 140.
Are Hatton fans going to claim that all of a sudden Hatton should vault back into p4p consideration? That would be grossly unfair to the other fighters who have scratched and clawed their way onto that list.
IMO, of course.
If Pac fought Hatton he would get destroyed . If he fought Cotto hed get destroyed . If he fought a washed up De La Hoya hed get destroyed .
If he fights losers like Diaz with a busted rib then he can win
Simple as . ;)

No offense, bro. But I'm glad YOU'RE not in charge of the rankings.
I'd like to see Pac in with Casa or Nate first (he absolutley flattens Khan after last night IMO).
Hatton-Pac would be a HUGE event, and very entertaining while it lasted, I'm all for it. I'm in agreement with the chief (saddo) when it comes down to what it actually means lagacy wise for Hatton. REgardless of outcome Pac will always be the superior fighter p4p, all this fight will prove if he can carry the weight or not.
Awsome performance last night, HOWEVER it's still very speculative wether he'll be able to carry it up further, He had to hit DD flsuh loads of times to get him hurt and it's possible 140 may be a step to far.
If Pacquiao can handle 140 well he shouldn't have a problem beating Hatton
