Pacquiao: Valero or Hatton? Doesn't matter who

[ICB]

Carnt see it been Hatton this year as he is almost certain to fight Pauli. I think it would be a good fight if he fights Valero then if he wins that fight Hatton next year at 140.

Agreed

think both arum and rickys camp have this potentially penned in for the summer of 2009.

Hopefully by then ricky would of seen off paulie and torres and pac would of got himself a win and maybe even a world title at 140pounds in the bag.

Then it would be a case of just sitting back and watching the $ role in.

I have no problem with Pacquiao fighting either guy first, both are risky fights for different reason's.

Good stuff kkisser.

If Pac is prepared to come to London that's a 100,000 job at Wembley. Wonder why they don't want to rush a November date

I'd fancy Pacquiao to dismantle Valero early as I believe he would have too much in the boxing skills department also Pacman has fought much the better fighters so that would pay dividends if the fight does materialise. Also if i'm not mistaken i think Valeros only aloud to fight in Texas if the fight was to take place in the states so I think it would more than likely be in the Phillipines.
As for Hatton though I would love to see this happen but I think this would be one step too far for Pacman as he bgan as a 108lb fighter and to fight at 140 against a natural jr welterweight would be an amazing achievement but a fight that i could only see Hatton winning.

Matters to me why he fighting a 130lbr after just leaving the division?

He should only be looking at Casamayor, Campbell or Hatton.

I hate it when fighters move up win a strap then fight fringe contenders.

I understand what your saying but I think that all the top fighters in the division have got fights lined up and Hatton is all but signed up to fight Paulie so he is basically unavailable for now.

I still say stay within the 135lb division Julio Diaz would be a good stop gap fight should Hatton not happen.

I don't think Valero has a hope in hell against any of the LW champs, but I guess it's a decent fight considering who else is available. Julio Diaz had been said, but really thats about the only quality LW who doesn't have a fight lined up, and he doesn't really present a good payday or feather in Manny's cap so to speak.
