PAC is so hot since Saturday night... and still very hot...
I dont think it will happen this year. Hatton will most likely fight Paulie this fall. If Pac really wants to fight at 140 perhaps he better have an interim fight at the weight to stay busy and get accustomed to it.
Pac would be sensible to wait for a Hatton fight because I dont think Hatton is on the wane yet and would win fairly easily if they fought in the near future. A lot of money at stake if he goes through with it though.
If Ricky hurried up and got Paulie out of the way (August) then he wuld have been sorted for a Pacfight.

Hot? He is not hotter then before the fight ....... everyone knew that he was fighting the lesser Diaz. A unskilled, slow and non power punching fighter. Kudos to Pac , but little did he gain in real fight fans eyes.....
Pac looked really good as a boxer ,but it was also visible that his 1 punch power is not as it was at 130. The good thing is the 135 weight class is really not all that talented or filled with power punchers either!
Wont happen Hatton is a man of his word and trust me it will be Paulie then Manny.
Someone already said it on another thread...
It's a win-win for Manny.
Lose to Hatton, and you've lost to a champ at a higher weight class. The naturally bigger man.
Beat Hatton, and you cement your legacy as an ATG and true p4p champ.
On the other hand, if Hatton beats Manny, I don't care how much Ricky's fans may want to vault him to the top of the p4p rankings. He won't get there by beating a great 130-pounder.

pacquiao should really stick around lightweight and clean it out first before he goes for the money
I thought the reason Hatton-powderpuff was so attractive to Ricky was so he could top a bill in MSG realising one of his dreams. Didn't take long for that shit fight to get the elbow (even though it's clearly still favourtie to happen) now that the interest in Pac has tripled

I'm confused. Who is Pac fighting now? On some interview I read today Arum sounded pretty sure a Valero fight was going ahead.
I'm just not understanding the seemingly irrational hate for Pac. I admit I never have been a huge Pacfan; but I thought it was stunning how easily he beat Diaz Saturday night.
O.k., Diaz ain't the best out there, but it's not like Pac barely scraped by. He didn't eek out a win, he beat the shoes of Diaz and made him look like he was a struggling amateur. I forgot the last time I saw a guy move up in weight and beat the sh#t out of guy in his 1st showing at that weight and pick up a belt. Leave the guy alone for f#cks sake. I would have hated to see what was said had Pac got a SD and Diaz had landed more than 15 punches on him![]()
I agree but lets remember that was accumulation of punishment that set up that KO, when the punch landed Diaz just basically collasped because his body couldn't take no more. But i agree there was nothing wrong with his punching power although i think its his speed that generates most of his power, similar to Roy Jones Jr in his prime.
