    When people talked it up before i was sceptical of the size difference now seeing Pacquiaos last 2 fights as he has come up in weight i think it will be a 50-50 fight now not to mention with the followings these fighters have we are talking about a megafight here are we not?

    personally, i want to see pac-jmm 3 at 135 or 140 where the current p4p#1 and #2 fighter will slug it out for the crown but i agree that a hatton-pacquiao match is very enticing with the clash of styles and the amount of interest it will generate globally.

    i really hope this fight happens, the only other opponent i can see getting in the way is pbf, but i'm guessing hatton/manny would make more money than pbf/manny and that's what it will boil down to. pbf would maybe fight the winner.

    To be honest, even after the impressive showing against Dela Hoya, I still believe Hatton would beat him. Just a bad, bad style match-up. Add to it that it will probably happen in UK, and we might see a Tsyzu - Hatton fight again.

    Big money fight again for Pac, but might be a career-ending fight for him if ever.

    If they make this thing at Wembley i'm definately there. This'll be a far better match up that Pac-DLH. I'd fancy Manny to win it though, i think Hatton'll get cut really badly.

    Beofre he beat DLH I thought Pac should just go back down to lightweight as that is one of the best divisions in the game and we could have had some great scraps.

    I even thought Hatton would ve been too big. But he has proved that size doesnt matter, so I think Hatton - Pac is a very good match. Even better if it happens in the UK.

    Hatton vs. Pacquiao is a beauty. Truly a super fight. No sideshow crap.

    Ya, if this fight does happen I say it's time to give what the fan over in the UK want and have it in Wembley Stadium.

    Personally, I think with this big win of Pac, Marquez etal in the 135 division have been marginalized. Pac has already established his legacy as an ATG boxer and he is good for two fights more before retirement --- Hatton & Mayweather.

    Hatton might beat Pac. He might, even, perhaps, KO Pac. What Hatton will absolutely not do is end Pac's career. :-(

    There is no way Mayweather can stay retired now.

    wow did not expect that from pac last night!, a hatton fight has to happen, this would definitly be a fifty fifty fight which would do great numbers at the box office
