Obviously, he has to get past Marquez first, but I think Marquez is on the decline -- his defense has definitely dropped off significantly since the first Pac fight. I think Juan Diaz is the toughest fight out there for Pac (that's right, tougher than Hatton), followed by Guzman.
How would Manny beat Ricky?
I'm not saying it's a sure thing, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see Pac win by KO. Even if the power doesn't carry to 140 though, he's *much* faster than Hatton, and (though it's not particularly good), his defense is better. We all know Hatton's defense is severely flawed. But honestly, I can't think of another fight I'd rather see Hatton in -- except maybe Juan Diaz. Like Ono says, the only reason to pick a Hatton blowout is that you think he'd have a big size advantage. But he wouldn't.
