Manny Pacquiao "I'm feel very confident about fighting Ricky Hatton next"

I posted my feelings about this fight in another thread prior to the De La Hoya fight:

I think Hatton-Pac is about a 50/50, maybe 60/40 fight (for Hatton). Hatton cuts and swells easily, and even if Pac isn't a murderous puncher at 140, he's still a high volume, accurate puncher with some power. He moves well, and he's far too intelligent to get involved in a wrestling match with Hatton. Also, they're close to the same height, so it's not like Pac is going to have to take a tremendous amount of punishment just to get inside Hatton's range. As Skel mentioned, Hatton has a history of poor performances against southpaws, and he's never fought one as skilled as Pac.

Pac and Hatton have the most devoted followings out there (I think Calzaghe fans are worse, but that's not the point). Regardless of the outcome of the fight, there will be a whole lot of sore losing and excuses being thrown around.
