I support the Hatton fight. PAC can possibly attain his "3rd title in 3 different weight class in 1 year" against Hatton (Hatton is the current IBO Jr. Welterweight Champ). Not only that, PAC is aiming for his 5th title in 5 different weight division. Plus the money is huge, maybe in 8 figures amount.
PAC's trainer Freddie Roach thinks that this is a winnable fight for PAC.
Valero just a high risk low reward fight and he offers less to the PACMAN.
very true. Against Hatton, it's a win-win situation for Pac. In case he wins against Hatton, he will have 3 belts in three divisions in just one year. How many have done that already?
He will go down in history(maybe) as the only one (?) who had achieved that and it will be very difficult to replicate or surpass.
In case he loses against Hatton, Pacquaio would still be great in many people's eyes coz its a great jump from his original weight(106 to 140) and simply it can be reasoned out that he has has already reached his limit. Using all quantitative techniques,Pacquaio is a sure winner in this fight.
By the way, I'm not changing my prediction that Hatton will win this fight.![]()

Makes sense win or lose PAC will get more fighting Hatton than Valero, which is definitely a high risk low reward
I just really want PAC to be the first to stop Edwin Valero that's all![]()
[quote=SaddoBoxer;550547]Exactly! And that doesn't necessarily make Pac afraid of Valero. Reason why I don't agree that Mayweather had nightmares about Margarito or Cotto. I guess people do accept other fighters taking those decisions until the right money is there unless its Mayweather, that's when its totally unacceptable.
Hope Valero gets some exposure out there and see how he does with more top opposition.
I pick Valero for the entertainment value. I want to see pac fight Nate or Casa (if he beats JMM) afterwards to solidify his place at lightweight first before Hatton. In terms of risk-reward from Pac's perspective it's probably Hatton would be first choice as he wouldn't be expected to win yet he's be known as superman if he went up in weight succesfully again.
