The Pacman will campaign at 140 - see boxingtalk.com. Obviously if the right money is on the table then he may go elsewhere. Apart from that it looks like the light-welters are the target. Surely that means Hatton. Holt, Torres, Hopkins, Bradley, Malignaggi, Kotelnik are not the fights to be going after once you've fought DLH. If JMM beats Diaz then he might step up to 140 and FMJ once said he'd never do 140. Again, according to boxingtalk - a Judah fight is a possibility.
Why does he struggle so much with 135? 140 is good for a Hatton fight for the linear title, but lightweight is where the depth is.
Got to be Hatton v Pac next, the only other fight that would be bigger would be FM v Pac and although i would love to see this fight i would love to see FM v Margo more......if he comes back to fight Pac and not Margo then it is clear evidence that he is avoiding Margo. Personally i believe FM would beat both Margo and Pac, don't understand why he doesn't step up to the plate, make alot more money and really cement his legacy. Pac/Hatton would explosive and a hard one to call......it depends how the fighters fight on the night. I would back Hatton, in a tight tight fight......but its weird i wouldn't be suprised if Pac blew him away or vice versa.
Look like it is Hatton next. Might be a good fight. Hatton is more active than Oscar and has more guts. He will take chances where Oscar did not want to get countered.
There is nothing for Manny at 140. Hatton is the only big name fight. Maybe if Torres hadn't pulled out, the winner of Torres/Holt III might have stirred the imagination. The winner of Holt/Hopkins though doesnt come out with great momentum. Malignaggi's stock is down at the moment. Bradley, Witter, And Kotelnik would bring $0.00 dollars to the table. At 135 there is all sorts of fights available, JMM (III), Juan Diaz, Casamayor, Guzman, Campbell, Katsidis would all make a bigger wave than any of the 140 fighters (other than Hatton). Plus at 135 he has access to 130 fighters who could move up like Valero, Linares, & Guerrero.
Manny is already winding down. He is on his last 3 fights. My guess it will be Hatton at 140, PBF at 141/142 and JMM at 140.
