Pacquiao beating Hatton...I just don't see it

[Taeth]

Well ODL-staged events has a hand in it and is just greedy enough to guarantee future large purses off his new cash cow Pac ... I am actually eager see when Pac will take a fight against a young and dangerous boxer, like say Victor Ortiz ? Like when he was afforded a title shot by MAB.

Him against Victor Ortiz would be a great fight, I think he should be fighting guys like Ortiz, Cotto, Mayweather, Marquez for a third time, but Hatton is a live underdog and as dangerous for Pacquiao IMO as Ortiz. First Pacquiao has to win the title, and second he has too many big fights to face Ortiz at this stage in his career. As great as MAB was, he was never the p4p king which basically means you have to make only block buster fights.

Nice try Taeth but when Pac was offered his opportunity rankings were taken into consideration. If that moment were today Pac may have never received an opportunity. Pac did not deserve the right to fight MAB at that time any more than Ortiz does within 1 year (providing Ortiz does not lose).

Nice try about what? When Pacquiao was offered the oppertunity he wasn't considered much in north america, it was suppose to be regular defense of his title for Barrera, sure some people knew Pacquiao was special, but in general he wasn't well known at all. The situation is different is because all eyes are on Pacquiao, he has bigger fights against guys nobody would argue him taking Mayweather, mosley, Cotto, right now Hatton, Marquez again. These are all fights boxing needs more than him fight Victor Ortiz. I am arguing that other people deserve the fight more than Ortiz does, and he isn't even a champion, while Pacquiao was the super batamweight champion before he faced Barrera, and he had better fighters on his resume than Ortiz currently does.

All in all Pacquiao is too busy fighting the best fighters in the world at any weight division, and the up and comers either have to knock off the Miguel Cotto's of the world or wait their turn.
