    do u think it will be at Welterweight or Jnr-Welterweight ...

    Hatton does prefer Junior Welterweight , whereas Pacman can fight anywhere down to lightweight really !

    Also do u think the mail is right and it will be in London ( or UK) or will the fight stay in Vegas .

    It would definately be at 140. There is no reason why it shouldn't be.

    Thats where pacman said he wants to go next I believe. So it would make sense for it to be at 140. Would be one helluva fight!

    Fighting @ 140lbs @ New Wembley stadium Summer 09 ,(Hatton has no buisness @ 147lbs as was proved v Floyd )

    90,000 pissed up Brits paying @ least £70 a ticket , Do the Math to that then add @ least 200,000 plus PPV's around the globe , It will happen imo , this has the potential to smash all revenue records for the wee men Credit crunch or not :deal

    Jnr welterweight.

    Pac has already stated he isn't going to stay at 147. He has no plans of facing genuine welters like Margarito or Cotto. Tells you that they pretty much knew Oscar was ripe for the taking, and that Pac would match up very well to him stylistically. Very smart moves by Freddy Roach. In all honesty, a man who deserves almost as much credit as Pac does for orchestrating that win.

    Pac v Hatton will be at 140 no question.

    Very tough fight to pick. Hatton is naturally stronger, yet has trouble vs southpaws, as defensively it nullifies a lot of his headmovement when moving in.

    Pac doesn't fight well off the back foot, and loses his power when smothered. That said, his activity and straight combination punching will cause Ricky big problems.

    Absolute ******* of a fight. Absolute Pick em at this point.

    2 birlliant minds in Roach and Mayweather Sr in the corners of both men. What a brutal chess match this will be:good

    It'll be much more of a test than Oscar ever was IMO.

    True, but credit where credit is due, for a brilliant performance and the ability to work a superb gameplan.

    Absolutely. But Oscar was more shot than the Kennedy Brothers :)

    He was absolutely **** and fought like he was juggling Hep C, AIDS, and testicular cancer all at once.
    Still, the majority of people thought he'd still be too much for Pac and knock him out.

    I tipped Pac to win, but I never expected him to absolutely destroy him like he did.

    It was like Mayweather/Gatti all over again.

    Will definitely happen at 140, Hatton knows he isnt a Welterweight and I doubt we will see him fight there again. Really hope this fight happens, would be a great matchup and I wouldnt be too confident in picking a winner to be honest.

    Im never goin against Pacman again!!

    I think Hatton is getting on, he has taken lots of shots over the years, and his chin is starting to suffer.

    Pac inside 6.

    Pacquiao wins this.

    The only guys i see probably beating him is Mayweather & the biggish/not shot welterweights...like Margarito & Cotto.

    Anybody else this Pacquiao is going to cut Ricky to pieces and stop him? I really think this may be a pretty one sided Pacman win?
