    If I recall correctly, you horribly underrated Pacquiao in the build-up to his fight with Hatton and were left with a sizeable portion of egg on your face, given your lengthy expositions on how that fight would go. Perhaps you shouldn't be so dismissive of Pac's chances again??

    If I recall correctly, I also said I was heavily biased in the lead up to the fight. And after the fight I was prepared to except that Hatton isn't and never was a great fighter. Floyd Mayweather is no Ricky Hatton, as he showed by dominating a better version than Pac faced.

    Pacquiao is an excellent fighter. But there's a difference between fighting a Ricky Hatton who was knocked out badly against Mayweather, nearly stopped by Lazcano and was stunned against feather-fisted Malignaggi, a paper-champion in David Diaz or a weight-drained corpse in DLH - and fighting a world-class athlete like Floyd Mayweather.

    Don't count on it ever happening. It's a huge fight for sure, but neither fighter will settle for less than 60%.
