i made a thread about a year ago stating that the only currently active fighter that could beat pbf was pacquiao and basically got laughed at due to the big weight difference,

not looking so stupid now is it

if you want to compare the way Oscar fought Manny to the way Mayweather would.

And overall its a bigger fight if Pacquiao beats Hatton first which I think he has a very big chance at doing.

This is the kind of thing that would make Mayweather "unretire"

If you asked PBF to fight Manny now he would probably say the typical "So he beat an old oscar de la hoya, I did that at 154, and Oscar couldn't look impressive against Forbes, he was old, what did that fight prove? I'm the best fighter IN THE WORLD. With the best team IN THE WORLD."

But if Manny beats Hatton especially the way he beat Oscar. Then people will say "Pacquiao beat both Hatton and De La Hoya more impressively then Mayweather did"

That's what can bring the fight up and ultimately make it bigger.

no worries dude i was just being a bit smug that i had predicted that their paths may even cross in the future way back when he was at 126/130

Thats a good prediction, given the events you'd be right.

But I do think Pacquaio should fight Hatton first. They were talking about Henry Armstrong right on the De La Hoya fight, well then he SHOUDL go to 140 and beat Hatton for those titles and they wont call it "cherry picking" like they did against Diaz

I think Pac would tear Ricky up judging by what I saw last night.

If Ricky was as old and way passed his prime like ODLH then I would also say that Pac would tear him up easily. Sure, I can see Pac winning against Ricky. Pac beat The Great Oscar De La Hoya, actually, an old passed his prime OLDH. It happens all the time with fighters who decided to stay in the ring longer than they should. Others beat them and look great.
Pac has looked good in his recent fights. He didn't look as invincible twice against Marquez but other than that, he seems to be going through the right path.

ye majesty it is a great fight that needs to happen and will greatly enhance the winners legacy, i dont think it can be called cherry picking, ricky called him out really, with regards to diaz he had the WBC and pac was taking it so again not cherry picking
