    Floyd can make 140 just as easy as Pac.

    I think Pac has more chance of beating Floyd than Hatton has of beating Pac

    I agree with you Yorkshire_ boy, Although Manny fought a brillant fight I think people are reading into just a little too much. The Oscar that Floyd Fought was a completly different Oscar, and he wasn't at his best then, But he was alot better than sat nights version. Some of you people need to calm it down just a notch.

    I dont thnk Roach will agree to mayweather fight unless its at 140 and rightly so. Pacs got to beat Hatton first and its not as going to be as easy as beating a boiled down DLH.

    Pacman and Mayweather both weighed the same when they fought DLH.

    I think Pac should fight Hatton, and if he wins he fights Mayweather for the 140 lb title.

    Pacquiao v Mayweather is the biggest fight in boxing in any division.... if this does happen it could be 1 of the biggest fights in history.

    I think Floyd could make 140 if he really wanted but a catch-weight would be better IMO, maybe 143 or something.

    The 2 undisputed best p4p boxers on the planet battling for what would surely hand the winner FOTD... it doesnt get any bigger or better than that.... this MUST happen.

    i don't think that's what Azriel meant, Hatton avoiding to fight Pacquiao. I think he means Hatton will be ducking Pacman's punches and not meeting them head-on, like he did with malignaggi.

    oooh that would be a very nice fight, hatton vs pacquiao.. with a 100,000 strong raucous crowd at Wembley.. :rasta

    Yeah, Pac is not in the same league with Mayweather coz Floyd is in the Duckers' League and he is the best ducker there is! Mayweather will never embarrass Pacman coz he will simply duck him.:nono

    Spot on

    Going way overboard here about saturday's win, PBF's was the better win as Oscar was actually decent that night and not weight drained.

    I want to see PAC v Hatton first at 140, PAC will be favourite but who can tell what would happen, and it would be a huge crowd and great atmosphere.

    Pac now has the bargaining power over Floyd. They should meet at 140 coz Mayweather can still very well comes down at that weight.

    Freddie Roach knows whats best for his fighter.. He knew he could beat DLH or else he wouldn't have called for the fight.. He's improving Pacquiao by the fight..

    I thought before that PBF has a Chance to win at least one in a Trilogy. But seeing how Pac demolished DLH, I'm thinking now that PBF cannot hurt Pac. It will be a close fight but I don't see pac losing to Floyd esp with his innactivity. Floyd has a brittle hands and he's not be commiting with his punches anymore. He can't make Pac honest. PBF has only his straight Right & his Jab as his weapon. Forget about his Left hook, will work against Pac. Pac will keep on coming, in & out attack. Might be Pac by decision but I love to see PBF beaten up & in the floor---- Pacdbest

    I was talking about this Pac-PBF about 3 years ago, right after Pac 1st KO of Morales. I was labeled crazy, moron etc. Look what we got now???

    I say Pac not to demand this fight. Let PBF ask for it.
