    I believe Hatton will wear down Pacman, but have no interest in a return against PBF as I see it as a repeat of the first fight. I would prefer Marquez v Hatton, than Marquez v PBF because he has done the lighter weights, and if he is a true ATG he should be pushing up against the big boys.

    Oscar won his first belt at Super feather and took on Bhop at 160. PBF should try to replicate.

    I would like him to return at 154 with Mayorga then a mega fight at 160 with Pavlik. Pacman went from fly to 147 to face Oscar, Jones went from 160 to heavy.

    160 is going too far. Beating Williams at 154 would be plenty.

    If he beat the man at 160 it would be hard not to place him outside the top 20 boxers of all time.

    Oscar had the balls to take on the man at 160. He got stopped, but he put it on the line.

    When has PBF put it on the line?

    When was he ever the underdog?

    Oscar is WAY bigger than Mayweather, he only had two fights at super feather while Mayweather spent most of his career there. PBF is a natural junior welterweight while Oscar is a natural junior middleweight, he's moved up plenty of weight classes.

    Mayweather has already done a lot. However, He hasnt done much since moving to 140. I think if he comes back, it should be to challenge himself. A fight against Pac would be a challenge for Pac, but not so much for Floyd. FLoyd will tear his ass to shreds. I think FLoyd should worry about people at welterweight and higher. He should try to do what Tito and Roy did.

    Oh, I'm sorry, you're right- Baldomir. Now that was a heroic challenge.

    Since there are some claims he dominated Oscar at 154 yes he should his fans argue he is that good.

    Floyd is a modern day Picasso with boxing gloves..

    Is Pac anywhere near that? I dont think so.

    Floyd > Pac in every aspect.
