    If Paq Fights Floyd first & loses not much skin off his back really...Floyd is a bigger guy and a supposedly better fighter.. Paq can still go to england the next fight for hatton at a lower weight

    if paq fights hatton first & loses it will look stupid and a matchup between floyd & paqman will look like a waste of time and it will never come off..

    financially it would be smarter to fight floyd then fight hatton...

    I'd rather he fight Hatton first and win bigger than Floyd did. He already won bigger against Oscar than Floyd did. It gives something for Floyd to think about. :D

    You make the assumption he isnt supremely confident of victory against Hatton which you would have to think he is.

    Besides, this as an eliminator to Mayweather adds extra spice to the mix.

    I agree, even though I want to see Hatton-Pac first and I think Floyd may like to wait to see if Pacquiao wins that.

    After Pac destorys Hatton, it will fatten his purse for a potential Mayweather fight.

    id prefer to see hatton vs paq first also because i could possibly go..

    but im just saying if paq loses to hatton it would make no sense for him to fight floyd after that because floyd would obviously beat him if he couldnt handle hatton

    if paq loses to floyd he just bit off more than he could chew and a hatton matchup still wouldnt lose its luster

    If he can't beat Hatton, he has no business going near Floyd.

    If he lost to Floyd first, there's no guarantee that Hatton would take him on afterwards.

    hatton would still fight him because paq will still be like p4p top 3....

    if he lost to floyd he was just undersized and finally bit off more than he could chew....

    and a hatton fight would still be realistic and exciting and a great way to come abck aftera floyd loss

    Alot of people would have put their house on DLH to beat Pac.

    I agree with you though, Pac TKO10 Hatton.

    Spot-on! Which is why I hope Pac fights Floyd first.

    Floyd Mayweather Jnr is retired as far as I know. People need to slow down a bit.

    I think Pac should go for a record of 5 different weight titles first by fighting Hatton and then go for bigger purse by fighting PBF next
