    true enough, but it would be a whitewash , even a somewhat dented Hatton quickly realised he could walk right through Malignaggi , Pac would destroy Paulie in zero time.

    At least with Foreman there is the question of wether Manny could actually hurt him , as well as Manny has moved up I think he may have finally reached as big as he can realistically get.

    I dont really want either fight tho !!!!

    Neither of these fights is PPV worthy.

    Paulie is an interseting idea but could he fight a full 12 rounds on the outside with that jab of his. Foreman would be him just trying to cherry pick an all time status why doesnt he fight williams or martinez the 2 best guys there or spinks even. Him fighting Foreman is him fighting David Diaz picking the weakest guy with a belt avoiding the toughest and calling himself a champion ant that weight and praising 8 time world champ when all he did was cherry pick he would probably make Foreman cut down to 150 or 149. I like Manny but if he wants to impress me he needs to fight a real top guy not one of the two above. and no catchweight fine for pounds over night stuff

    how is this realistically a question, Cotto walked through Malignaggi...what do you expect Pacquiao would do?

    He needs to man up and fight Mayweather, if not he should just retire.

    if he had a motorbike he could concievably avoid him for 10 minutes or so i guess ;)

    I know what you mean though, Paulie certainly has an unorthodox style which maybe could befuddle pac a little bit , I just dont know what would stop Pac just all out attacking from the get go !

    well we saw what a little movement & a jab did to pacquiao did for a little bit while he fought cotto... that happens to be what malignaggi is the best at (probably amongst the best in boxing)
