    and floyd certainly has no issue here since he fought jmm with 8oz gloves before. had floyd asked for jmm to take the olympic style testing in their fight or at least for pac to have a history of failing a drug test, floyd would not been labelled such a ***** for demanding such a test. :good

    Pac and his whole team which includes Roach have already played by Mayweather rules.
    They've already soiled themselves in Mayweather's mud, by coming up with a different excuse every few days......

    .......they already threw themselves in the game.....now they want to Pack up, take the ball, and go home.

    i said that the oscar version is probably better but not the hatton fight. my opinion is both are good wins for each fighter. what i just said was, pac taking on oscar at 147 from 135 was a bigger challenge for pac back then compared to floyd taking on oscar at 154. and the odds during that time would confirm this. what's not hard to comprehend?

    Different fight, different terms.

    If Mayweather wants to go with the commission's recommendation of 10oz gloves and Pac wants the commission's recommendation of their standard drug testing then whats good for one is good for another.

    Mayweather knocked Hatton out with 10oz gloves btw so it shouldn't affect Pac's power that much, at least he isn't weak from the blood testing.

    They just have to agree on the split which should be interesting after the Clottey/Mosley ppv numbers are in showing who is the bigger draw.

    If you want to go off the odds then Hatton was a shorter price against Mayweather than he was against Pacquiao.

    possibly but i'm more inclined to say that hatton is neither a bigger challenge for both floyd and pac when they fought them. it's just that people thinks, pac's performance over oscar was a fluke that make's some kind of an illussion that it is a bigger challenge really. i would put more emphasis on how pac stopped cotto than this. it's just the manner on how pac easily disposed of a quality fighter of hatton's stature.

    Lol at the double standards.

    It's okay for Pac not for Floyd.

    Dont lie man those were almost the same

    http://www.ogpaper.com/news/Hatton-Pacquiao-odds-050209.html

    Manny Pacquiao is way ahead with favorite odds -240, compared to Ricky Hatton, who holds underdog long odds +200 to win the fight at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas tonight.

    http://www.ogpaper.com/news/news-01402.html

    The odds on Ricky Hatton to win the Sunday fight were downgraded from +185 to +190 and Mayweather went from -225 to -240 at the bookie.
