Pacquiao Offically Vacates "Lightweight" Title

[XaduBoxer]

I guess Top Rank boss Arum suggested to PAC to vacate the title so that Valero (another Top Rank boxer) versus Pitalua will be upgraded as a regular WBC lightweight championship fight...

PAC also left 135 for 2 fights (Hoya and Hatton) and I think it's high time for him to give up that title...

Anyway if PAC is successful against Hatton, he will get 2 new titles in a new division, the Ring and IBO 140 belts...
.

As what as I thought of...

link --> Valero vs. Pitalua May Be Elevated To Full WBC Title Bout

It just dawned on me that Valero attended Pacquiao's Birthday party.... makes it sort of a thank you, don't ya think?

Maybe... and they're (TopRank) building Valero up as a possible opponent for Pacquiao's last fight at the end of this year as PAC retires from boxing... From one TopRank boxing star to upcoming TopRank boxing star...

What we really need is a saviour who'll come in and buy out the 4 major alphabet councils (WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO) and merge all the titles by having all the champs face each other and leave us with one champ in each division.

I know it's just wishful thinking but it would be nice!

Ya the thought occurred to me too, but I was guessing he'd have to loose for that to happen. Valero is an excellent fighter but he just doesn't have the draw. He needs some bigger named fighters on his resume. With limited venues, it's difficult for he to get fights. (with big names) I was also thinking Pacquiao might try to set a venue in the Philippines but I just can see how it's possible unless he retires first.

It would be nice to see Pacquiao get back and clean up his filled house at Light.With his big success chasing and beating Delahypa in glamour match & should he defeat Hatton....or even if he does not .....I dont think hes going back to down in weight.With Marquez sitting at top perch at 135...who knows after Diaz squabble and possible trilogy....

Valero should fight Soto or Antillon....and get ko'd

Considering PAC has 2 more fights at most before he retires at the end of the year, I believe cleaning up LW is not on his list... His list probably looks like this after the Hatton fight:

- PBF (if PBF unretires and will not ask $20M guaranteed purse)
- Cotto
- Valero
- Judah/Holt/Bradley
- DelaHoya rematch

Damn! still a long list...

I'd rather see Cotto but, you did'z squeeze in Mosley? If Pac manages to defeat Hatton, I think there is mega $buzz$ for Mosley...

Yep first thing first... After PAC annihilates Hatton, the Mosley fight will just arrive naturally...

Good one,2 more fights at most but yet you have a shopping list of 7 after a Hatton fight.....love the optimism.A DeLaHoya rematch ...seriously now?? He had better focus on Hatton first and for most.

It doesn't mean PAC has to fight the 7... It means PAC would choose 2 from that list... For example, PBF is not a sure thing if he will fight again, he's asking $20M guaranteed purse so could be ticked off from the list...

One thing, you don't ask why JMM not on the list?? Coz I believe Juan Diaz will defeat JMM this weekend...

Whoops.......Now what .Surely Pacs honor & pride & need for closure will get the better of his fiscal desires,even in this gloomy economy.Seeing as how Marquez has left the gallant Diaz flat on his back at Lightweight,a Valero showdown in same division would only satisfy the sanctioning bodies...as opposed to the fans .....Or maybe he can just leave Judahs number on speed dial ??

Funny how you groupies are talking "After Hatton".

Fact of the matter Pac wont get these names (Maybe Judah) after Hatton cuz Hatton is gonna smash him to pieces...man I can't wait.

Leftylee and Ricky Hatton are gonna shut all the fukking Pac groupies up come May the 2nd

Of course there's life for PAC after Hatton... Hatton is just... Hatton is not the toughest fight for PAC to date... but I remember PAC considered Hatton a tougher fight compared to David Diaz and Hoya...
