- Mayweather retired
- Pac beat Diaz
- A Pac v Ricky fight came to the fore
- Both Arum and Ray Hatton come out and say this is a fight for 2009, with Pac being lined up for Valero and Ricky sticking to his original plan.
- Ricky is now 'running scared' from Pac because he's not fighting him instead of Paulie and people are neglecting Pac has his own agenda.
It's funny really
Brilliant...


I agree with Donny and the rest who feel the Paulie fight is the way to go.

In this whole thread all that's been said is about Hatton, and as Steelie mentioned Pac does have his own agenda.
I think Pac should look at staying at LW at fighting there at least 2 more times. Who he should fight will be dictated as the 2 big LW fights take place. Pac could look for a "Homecoming" fight with someone like Yusuke in the Filipines. Just a keep busy fight and then fight anyone of the winners in the 2 big fights.

How many times is PBF killed and axed for jumping into div. and just beating one guy and particularly the weakest one and then jump right out?
I really think if Pac does and quick jump then this LW will mean just as much as the time PBF picked up the WBC and LWW vs. Gatti.
