    Pac was great last night but Oscar lacked stamina, was weight drained and was a standard target unwilling to engage.

    Lets see how Manny can handle being closed down and hit with a shot to the ribs by Hatton before saying he'll walk away with it.

    Very existed about the prospect of these two meeting and Wembley would be the icing on the cake.

    I'd be most worried about how Hatton cuts and marks up with this fight. :!:

    He'd have a hard time walking down Manny that's for sure but I think in hindsight, this would be a tougher fight for Manny. I'm never gonna doubt the Pacman again though.

    Can't see this fight ever going down in the UK but imagine those two fan-sets going against each other in a stadium, the atmosphere would be epic. Hope I'm wrong there, I'll be first in line for a ticket.


    P.S. I'm Scottish and I'm also a Ricky Hatton fan, during the Mayweather fight, I watched it with a house full of Scottish Hatton fans too.

    Hatton hasn't cut in years, since the bone filing operation he had.

    If this fight does happen it should be in the U.K.

    What claim does america have to all the great fights?

    Wembley is as capiable if not more so than MSG of putting on a good fight.

    Arum said after the fight the Hatton matchup seems the logical next fight for Pacquiao

    Something I've wondered - if Floyd chose to come back, who would be more lucrative for Manny? Floyd or Hatton?

    Gotta be a tight one that hasn't it?

    Also, perhaps, who is more beatable for Manny; it has to be Hatton. A victory over Floyd would do more Legacy wise though, but it's unlikely pac would beat him.

    Hatton would be, as long as it was in the u.k, the gate alone at wembly would be huge, and ppv buys would go through the roof, 1.4 million at 4am for the floyd-hatton fight, more than double it if it's on in the evening uk time

    Hatton would most likely be a better payday.

    Also, he wouldn't beat Floyd in 50 attempts!

    Floyd would beat both of them comfortably.

    I think he'd come out and attack too, he already knows he has Hatton's number. And I think his best bet with Pac is to hold the centre rather than sit on the ropes.

    I think he would attack Pac, but fight in a different sort of way against Hatton.

    He probably over-estimated Ricky's power, but underestimated what he had up his jumper.

    Could I just add that Hatton at least deserves a slight nod for being so keen to get in the ring with Pac after his demolition of Oscar.

    I'd say Hatton is delighted with the thought of facing Pacman instead of ODLH. They're probably in negotiations as we speak. Will Pacman travel to England or is this another LV "one for the fans" fights?

    Pacman could bust Hatton up in his own loving room with Matthew Hatton as the special guest referee, location doesn't matter, this fight won't even be competative, it will be so one sided people will complain the fight should never have been made, Pacquaio is faster, technically better and could even have more power than Hatton at 140, Hatton hasn't really hurt anyone for years apart from shot Castillo, who has since proven he was 100% shot.

    Pacquaio is just a better fight in every single aspect, his speed and lightning fast combinations will make Hatton look almost a novice, will be more one sided than the PBF fight.

    "More power than Hatton at 140"? "Hatton hasn't really hurt anyone for years apart from shot Castillo"?

    Nothing but blind hate and not even factually correct.

    You have no confidence in Hatton, if this fight happens i'll have you a lifetime ban on ESB bet on the fight, its so obvious Pac wins.

    I await you worming out.
