if he loses he will get slated for losing to a small guy.
however i think it would be a massive event and a big money spinner for both but i think its a WIN WIN for Pac

I don't see it as lose lose for Hatton at all Saddo. Only the hardcore boxing fans will care about weight differential, to everybody else Hatton will be facing the worlds number 1 p4p fighter and a champion in 5 weight divisions. hw
They are both the same height, Pacquiao has a slightly longer reach and both have been entering the ring at 140 - 145 lbs in recent fights.
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 for once agree with Bilbo about the public not caring about weight divisions. It is just like the poster we had awhile back saying, "Its just 7 pounds, etc". Ignorant people don't realize that is a huge deal. Hell people I talk to usually asks me how many weight divisions there are, or how big is Floyd, etc. Someone asked me if Floyd was a cruiserweight one time. Now that would be a funny specatacle.
