    Please, please not Oscar.

    In order of preference -

    Marquez
    Cotto
    Bradley
    Witter
    Mayweather ( unwinable in my opinion )

    sorry if i affended you or anyone else, but the fact of the matter is pac already beat them both.

    i dont think manny is invincible and yes both fights with jmm were close.

    i am one who thinks manny would destroy ricky based on theyre styles & strengths/weakness'.

    the dlh fight only confirmed that pac still posses the power, speed, stamina & improved footwork with the additional weight.

    team pac & us fans know the blueprint to beat ricky.
    its checkers not chess.

    Pac V Hatton is back on by the looks of things.

    Lets face it, most you guys who dislike Hatton with a passion can deal with him beating the likes of Bradley (that is why you want those fights - the wins are easy to brush aside), but should he ever turn the bookies odds and beat Pac - have that name on his resume with a W next to it - you guys are eating humble pie for a long, long time.

    I can think of one weaker 140 champ right off the top of my head.....the fighter that Malinaggi won the title from. There have been plenty of 'iffy' titlists at 140 over the years, Paulie isn't the weakest, let alone "by far".:roll:

    Lascano was a comeback fight after a big loss, all fighters do it but its only a problem for some people when its Hatton. Strange eh?

    Hattons had a pretty good run of opponents since he beat Zoo, not great but decent enough and better than most world class boxers in that time frame. If Hatton beat Bradley tomorrow you wouldn't give him any credit because Bradley only has 2 opponents on his entire record. He may as well go after a proven "name".

    "Greedy little ****er"? It's abundantly clear there is a distinct lack of actual boxing fans on here these days.:roll:

    You're really childish, do you know that? There are live bodies at 140 but we all only want them to get a title shot so we can discredit the win afterwards?
    Jesus christ, grow up. Start thinking about the good of the sport instead of Hatton's bank account.

    Ok comparing Pac and Hatton is like comparing Apple with Microsoft or McDonalds with Burger King. Ricky may taste good to the average pug but lets be real his nothing more than a well marketted fighter who`s making a killing of arm chair fans like yourself. Pac is a legit and modern day ATG and certainly deserves the lions share. If Ricky wanted this fight he would have made it. Much like all his other mooted clashes with Cotto, Judah, Ward, etc over the years as he rose through the ranks with his WBU strap in towe his delivered sweet FA. And yet somehow the reasoning is his the draw because he has 10,000 stupid Man City fans in towe? Thats not boxing its a ****ing fraternity.

    Because it's clear you are a Hatton fan, with him being your primary concern. What's more amusing than my percieved condescending remarks is you, as a Hatton fan, feeling you're in a position to criticise someone for greed.

    You seem, also, to be very quick to write disparaging remarks about the best fighter in the world. Not really the actions oif a boxing fan who should, at least, understand why Pacqiaou may want a larger slice of the pie.

    Anyway, I'm just glad the fight's on. People need to spend less time jumping to conclusions based on the word of a few people on the internet.

    The reason why Pac accepted DLH`s offer is because he was fighting for the GLORY! Hatton needs to take a leaf out of his book and realise that Manny a former flyweight didnt become the best fighter in the world by beating up bums. He did it by beating the best. Thus by any reasoning its abundantly clear Pac is more than deserving of 60/40 split. Now seeing as iv sat through the entirity of Hattons career including his WBU waster years i am more than entitled to give him the due stick that he deserves because his given NOTHING back to British boxing but he has taken much. Now if you were a "fan" of boxing you`d know for a fact that Warren routinely used to pack the M.E.N with backwards ManCity fans who thought there boy was a world champ. Now lets look at this logically on the basis of WHICH opponents on Hattons extremely poor ledger does he deserve a 50/50 split?

    I think you are fighting a losing battle there.

    These Hatton fans think because he brings over drunken football fans he deserves more. At the end of this, they both look like greedy ****s for haggling over a few million out of a huge purse when they already have enough to last 10 lifetimes over.

    On a boxing basis, its clear who deserves more. What Hatton needs to realise is Pacquiao has fought all the best fighters, he's p4p #1, and if Hatton really wants the achievement he should man up and take whatevers on the table. He should take a little cut to realise sporting ambition. Pacquiao has done that in the past, but Hatton is a greedy little ****.
