Pacquiao or De La Hoya for Hatton. Which makes better sense?

    yeah. 2 years ago i find it absurd for people to suggest pac fighting hatton at 140 but now even if pac is untested at 135, they feel that a pac-hatton fight is somewhat competitive.

    i understand that hatton had slipped now but i still feel that pac would be at a huge disadvantage on this fight. remember that this would also be his 7th weight class if the fight will happen at 140.

    Either fight would be about money.....lots of it. And when you have fights that are more about making money than the fight itself, it rarely makes sense. I don't like either of these potential bouts. Though I am marginally interested in Pac vs Hatton.

    Years ago I'm being laugh at suggerting this fight will happen. Now it's there being discussed and a lot of people now giving Pac a chance to beat Hatton. DLH/Pac KO Hatton easy.

    De la Hoya won't happen. If it does then it will generate lots of money because the general public will be conned into believing it will be competitive when people who know anything about boxing will know that Hatton would get destroyed now.

    The pac fight would probably be more competitive but still a bit of a farce and I don't think you can expect Pac to jump to 140 so soon.

    Realistically I can't see either of them coming off.

    I would rather see pac fight hatton at 137 ro 138lbs. This will be the ideal weight coz pac will add to or three pounds from his last fight while hatton will lose about two to three pounds away from his comfort zone weight..
