Does anyone else think 140lbs is too much for Pacquaio?

    at this level i think 140 is biting off too much...especially against a hatton...
    i'm taking hatton to stop him on body shots...tko.

    This.

    Pac would be a monster at LW right now. This isn't to say he is too small for 140, he should come into the ring well over the limit, but he will still be 10 pounds south of Hatton's weight.

    the size and weight difference will only differ a small scale. Pac has the footwork advantage and may be too sharp for the hitman.
    I cant see pac hurting hatton with a blow knock out/tko though.

    well his style is a bit of a mishmash. a southpaw with that much aggression workrate speed power and determination. him being a weigth class or 2 above his normal weight is the last thing your worried about.

    i dont think size and wieght is the major factor in pacs game plan

    I wouldnt say 140 is too much for him. Ricky Hatton at 140, however, is too much

    10 pounds?! :huh pac's current fighting weight is around 149 while hatton's is about 153-154. that's about a 4 to 5-lb weight difference.
