    Manny Pacquiao has just annihilated the best boxer the 140 pound Division has to offer in the person of Ricky Hatton. in less than 360 seconds, Pacman did batlle with Hatton, knocked him down twice in the first round before knocking him out for good just before the end of the 2nd round. This is how the fight turned out. A far cry from the 50-50 close fight that many predicted. Given the astonishing outcome vis a vis the opposition involved, is it still a valid argument that Pacquiao is still untested north of 130 lbs?

    damn all those who think that this would be a close fight...hatton is a limited fighter and pac has an ability to capitalize on that...the odds are somehow correct..many pachaters are proven wrong

    I think it's valid. I'm his biggest fan, but I've not learnt a whole lot from his last two fights other than if you're not up to scratch he will annihilate you, but I knew that anyway.

    Pac has already proven he's got his speed and power above 130. Oscar and many others said he doesnt have power.... ask Ricky that...
