Boxing: Pacquiao wants Hatton fight - Setanta Sports


Manny Pacquiao has declared that he wants to meet Ricky Hatton after his fight with David Diaz this month.
Hatton had eyed a rematch with Floyd Mayweather in 2009 after his proposed November bout with Paul Malignaggi, but the retirement of the Pretty Boy would seem to have ended this possibility.

There has been speculation that Hatton is in talks with Oscar De La Hoya to fight the Golden Boy in September, when Mayweather was set to fight him, though the American suggested last month that the Mancunian was too small to make this a real possibility.

A bout with Pacquiao, whose popularity rivals Hatton, would appear to be attractive to the Ring Magazine light welterweight champion, whose father has suggested they are looking for only big pay-days in the autumn of his career.

"After Diaz, I want to fight Ricky Hatton," Pacquiao told Ring Magazine. "That will be a good fight.
"I'm 150lbs right now. My sparring partners are always 140 to 150lbs. It's not a problem for me. And I'm not getting any younger. So why not?"
Assuming he beats WBC lightweight champion Diaz on June 28, and Hatton wins Malignaggi's IBF title, Pacquiao would have the chance to become a five-time world champion having previously won titles at flyweight, super bantamweight and super featherweight.

I would really like to see how PAC handles 135 before I make any assessment about this fight. If this fight does happen it's gonna need to happen soon though.

Pac's "drive for five" mission is a good thing. But he needs concentrate on Diaz first.

I hope Pac man is'nt underestimating Diaz, with all his talk about he wants to fight Hatton,i would like to see him get Diaz out of the way first then concentrate on Hatton.

yea...Pacquiao needs to give Juan Manuel Marquez his rematch before he goes anywhere close to 140, last fight IMO was too damn close to me and i had Marquez winning with a slight lead

Nah forget Marquez . Pacs got enough washed up names on his record as it is . Atleast Ricky is only slightly past it . I hope it happens.

And those so called "washed up" boxers like Marquez gave him questionable wins.
