What everybody is forgetting though is that when the whole 'Hatton would destroy Pacquaio' threads came up months back Manny hadn't even fought at LW. Common sense says he wouldn't be able to compete at 140.

Hindsight is a good thing though now ay? cus clearly he can compete!
The one I dug up re Hatton tearing Pac up was from 2 weeks ago... But you're right on and I think we can all agree that Pac can be considered now a genuine 140 pound fighter.. Not because he beat Oscar so convincingly who brought nothing to the table, but because he looked as sharp as he has at any lower weight, and in many ways has improved his movement....

It just makes 140 to 147 more exciting and there are at least 5 to 10 fighters that would be great for Pac to fight at 140 and 147...
