Hall Of Fame broadcaster Colonel Bob Sheridan spoke to Fightnews about Manny Pacquiao and why he thinks the Filipino superstar is the best 140 pound fighter in the world, why Ricky Hatton will give Manny a better fight than Oscar did and why a Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto clash would be a great showdown.


"I feel Manny Pacquiao is the best of them all at 140 where he will test Ricky Hatton in the spring," said the Colonel. "He's too quick for Ricky, but Ricky will give him more problems than Oscar de la Hoya because Ricky is much closer to his prime and will definitely push Pacquiao more. At 147, Miguel Cotto is the class of the division. A Cotto-Pacquiao fight will be one for the ages and I hope that can be put together in 2009."

Kendall Holt, Zab Judah, ? is that a joke ? the only names he should fight are Floyd Mayweather, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez.

Those 2 guys were calling out PAC's name very loud and if PAC will opt for a tune-up fight (a not so big fight), those 2 were the leading candidates...

Having Zab or Kendall for tune-ups is not bad I think...

Why not? Even PBF and Cotto fought Zab before... Zab deserves as an option if PAC wants a smaller fight, sort of a tune-up fight...

Just because they called him out means nothing, there small fish in a very big pond. And they don't belong in the ring with someone of Manny Pacquiao's class. And i don't think Manny Pacquiao needs any tune ups.

He has looked sensational in his last 2 fights, and i think he should build on that by fighting a big name opponent like Ricky Hatton. Forget tune ups he doesn't need one.

Well you know, negotiations of these big super mega fights can broke down anytime... You know, dealing with 2 superstars that won't back down on their demands... It's a big headache...

Zab and Holt are there in case no big fight for PAC can be sealed...

who the hell wants to see a DLH rematch or waste time on Zab Judah?

[skel1983]

Cotto would badly knockout Manny, KO around 4/5 rounds.

I like how JMM is pushed to the bottom of it.
Clearly if it's about boxing supremacy the ONLY boxer I'd excuse ahead of JMM would be PBF.
After PBF it would be JMM.

The list is about each boxer's chances of landing a fight with PAC... After Hatton, I think PBF has the biggest chance if he will come out of retirement... You notice Cotto has more chance of landing a fight with PAC than JMM...
