    There isn't a single fighter on that list he would beat.

    So my answer at least would be no.

    its not inconceivable that Pacquiao will have alot success at 135 and if he does then i would think that a fight at 140 becomes a possibility.

    Its all about progressively taking the time to adjust to the new weight. And there's a big chance he may never really adjust. Pacquiao is pretty much a natural 122 lber

    my vote goes for Pac vs Hatton

    Torres would be something to watch......

    Purely just for the money, Hatton, DLH and PBF in that preference...

    I wanted PAC to get BIG money to reward him of what he has done to boxing over the years instead of giving this kind of money to boring heavyweights or boring P4P superstar...

    Even though Pac stands no chance I would love to see him face Mayweather. Many people will get an understanding of what it means to be the best "pound for pound" fighter in the world after Mayweather outclasses him with pure technical boxing skill and ability.

    Sure he can beat some of the fighters mentioned. Torres who? He has to hope he wins his next fight and not get any help from outside the ring to hold on to his opponent's leg. Pac could possibly beat Paulie, Torres, and might have a chance against Hatton all depending on his ability to adjust at 135 for at least six to eight months. I think Pac would have his hands full at 135 for now. Baby Bull, Nate, Casamayor.

    PAC must prove himself at 135 lbs then fight with JMM if he goes up or fight Caza or nate then think of Hatton, Dela Hoya and PBF then retired with handsome cash...

    he needs to prove himself first, taking on the elite levels at that weight is not a good idea. I mean why not take on sub par competition yet because you're from a lower weight class and see how you do
