pacman wants hatton next

[XaduBoxer]

The shot that Morales caught Diaz with was a short straight right in the middle of one of Diaz' flurries. It was more of "I got hit?" (down he goes) than Diaz really being hurt.

Diaz has always been known as a slow starter so Pac needs to jump on him right away and not let the fight hit the later rounds.

Him wanting to fight Hatton is blowing my mind! Maybe after seeing Hatton's last fight, Pacquiao thinks he can knock him out seeing how Ricky gets hit with a lot of left hands.

Like I always say, I'm already skeptical about him fighting at 135 but that weight is looking like it will be STACKED soon enough. It already has Casamayor, Diaz (David, Juan, and Julio), Campbell, Katsidis, and Santa Cruz, with Marquez, Guzman, and Valero all willing to follow Pacquiao to 135 as well. THOSE ARE A LOT OF NAMES!!! Pacquiao needs to leave Hatton alone, and conquer 135. If he's looking for a payday, then Hatton is the man, but the risk at fighting someone who is proven to be at his best weight let alone having it be Pacs first fight at 140 would be catastrophic!

Yep, the Hatton fight is a very high risk with an equally very high reward (both money and legacy) for PAC... PAC already called out Hatton... The only thing he need is to stop David Diaz or win it impressively and the Hatton fight will be around the corner...

You're right! If Pac can't knockout a very hittable Diaz, he would be in for a long night against Hatton. If Pac knocks out Diaz, he would have some power against Hatton, some being generous. If Pac can't, fighting Hatton would mean Pac having to box, which isn't his style. Trading with someone like Hatton will be the first time I would advise Pac not to do so.

Assuming Hatton doesn't get beat by Malignaggi.

Good mention! If Hatton loses to Malignaggi, which is VERY possible, and Pacquiao gets past Diaz, I either see Pac fighting Marquez for the third time at 135 or one of the big dog lightweights (Juan Diaz/Casa/Campbell)

If hatton loses to paulie or even fails to knock him out i will personally never post on this site again out of sheer humiliation for my favourite boxer.

Everyone used to say floyd was stupid for moving to 140 and then 147 as it could tarnish his legacy.

No doubt people will say the same about manny.

But great fighters learn to adapt in different situations - which is why even as a massive hatton fan unless he does something at 147 he`ll never be an all time great in my eyes!!

You have to give Pac credit for not being afraid to step out of his comfort zone. I do have the same apprehensions as stated by others though in his focus. He is looking too far ahead in my opinion also, and needs to worry about his next match.

[Fenster]

I don't think there's any major risk for Pac if he faces Hatton. He'll be in a no lose situation (big underdog) with the prize being the HUGE final payday he makes. I would guess it'll be planned as his retirement fight.

Excluding the gimme he has in the Philippines that is.

If Fatton gets beat by Paulie, PAC-Hatton will become a lesser fight legacy-wise for PAC... PAC will be aiming for a belt in 5 weight divisions... (assuming PAC gets Diaz' belt first as his 4th ).
