If Hatton-Pac has indeed gone down the shitter....

Manny would fight Margarito no problem. It's Roach that would advise against it.

I think it would be interesting.

 

He didn't fancy Hatton for 12 mill but he'll take on Margo fora lot less? We've seen this week how much weight Roaches opinion carries with Pac where future opponents are concerned. He was all over that 50/50 Hatton deal.....if Pac and margo doesn't happen I think its a hell of a stretch to blame it on Roach after whats just happened.

 

I'd like to see Hatton-Cotto

 

Mayweather has no boxing reason to come back for Hatton right now. Hatton is less then what he was for their original fight. I think only the winner of Hatton/Pacquiao would've drawn him to fight either of them and apart from fighting each other, they both need another good win to entice Mayweather out.

With regards to the Marquez/Diaz winner, I think that both of them would rather go against Pacquiao - the current number one name in the sport. If Pacquiao goes for Valero (if he decides not to go for the WBC lightweight title) then that could free up the Marquez/Diaz winner for Hatton, depending on when they fight.

It's all complicated, we'll have to wait for a number of other fights to take place for the big names to be available for June/July. Campbell has got to be a front-runner as his fight is in February so he'd be ready and available. Guzman and Casamayor have nothing lined up it seems but they're slick boxers with more risk/less reward possibly.

 

I hope people don't take this as a reason to declare open season on Pac. Regardless of what we think the fighters were worth (I think 50/50 was right) I don't think Arum has handled this particularly well.

 

I'm not blaming anything on anyone. I'm saying Roach was the one that has voiced concerns over that fight, whereas Pacquiao has always sought out the best opponents, whether it be the great Mexican fights, or even to fight a supposedly "bigger" guy like De La Hoya when he had no chance, apparently.

Sensitive Hatton fans :-(

 

Margarito will brutalise him

 

Nah. Not until > round 6 anyway.

 

I hope he fights Bradley and trys to unify 140. I expect Witter will tell Ricky he's always there as a back up

 

:good

Hatton would get a lot of credit from me if he cleans out the division.

 

Huge mismatch IMO

But not beyond the realms of possibility that Pacquaio lasts 6-8 rounds by steering clear

His marketability would suffer badly after Margarito crushes him, that's just my take but I strongly believe it

 

I don't think it would be a case of "lasting 6 rounds". I think he'd be more than competitive in them, because Margarito is a horrible starter, he's slow as ****, and I think he'd have a great deal of problems trying to catch up with Pacman if he fought with the in-out style he showed recently. If he puts the odd single shot in on Pac, I would back him to take that unless its to the body, and Pac is difficult to hit to the body. I see problems when he tires and Margarito gets his second wind, he would catch up in the end.

Pacquiao is the modern day Henry Armstrong, as far as having the attributes to make weight almost obsolete - up to a point.

And I'm not insane like all the MOFO's that delusionally picked ODLH based on weight alone...so watch out for me being correct if it happens.

 

just heard it on the news, they couldnt agree on money split, **** sake, they should be taking a pay cut, to entertain the fans

hatton - mayweather part 2......bring it on :bbb

 

Would the casual fan buy tickets for Hatton vs JMM?

JMM doesn't have the same name recognition amongst casual fans as a Pacman or a DLH
