    Whether it was age or the weight loss Oscar showed a serious decline in skills, speed and reflexes on Saturday night.

    Oscar was perhaps gone, having said that pac was absolutely the last thing in the world Oscar needed. A little super energetic elusive fighter with a decent punch buzzing in and out like a mad man.

    It may well be a close fight, but I would have money on Ricky stopping Manny. I think people are over estimating Manny Pac's victory over ODLH. I found it really odd how so many fans and experts were favouring Oscar so heavily, especially when you consider that he hasn't looked consistently good for a fair few years now.

    I don't see this match up happening, though, unless it's their next fight. One more tough fight for Ricky and he might not have enough left.

    Some people might accuse me of hating but that aint the case i rate the pacman victory as great even though oscar was shot, the way he put him away was class but hatton is a very different fighter than a shot odlh. I reckon hatton vs pacman would be a right tear up and a fight of the year candidate.

    Matthew Hatton vs. Bobby Pacquiao would be one funny ass undercard fight for Manny vs. Ricky

    There would be a novelty element to it, but it would be unlikely that anybody would be laughing. Have you seen Mathew Hatton fight?

    Watching Matthew Hatton does bad things to people, just look at the guy who reffed his last match.....






    ......I don't where the line is until I've crossed it.

    how are you so sure?
    funny how Pac has made a few fighters look shot to bits, then they come back and look alright again.
    Pac batters Wicky...a bad beating awaits bacon boy in this one.

    I don't think that Pacman should even consider the fight. I thought he was going to lose to DLH but he proved me wrong. I think though that at least 50% of the reason for which he won (by a landslide I might add) is that DLH is quite probably past it. I don't think that Pacman should push his luck and should move down to lightweight, if not superfeather. He shouldn't even consider fights with Hatton, or any of the welterweight stars.

    Its a true shot at HOF greatness for Hatton... I would love to see him win but I favour Pacman. There are ways for Hatton to win but I think at this stage he won't have the drive to get right into the trenches.

    Hopefully this fight is made rather than PBF coming out of retirement to beat Pacman.
