    I think you very well could be correct.

    Farmy, what's your take on Pacquiao-Hatton?

    I feel Hatton will be too strong for Pac, but Pac can win that fight. When Hatton lost to Mayweather it was not at 140, which is his best weight. 140 for Pac? Not so sure. Oscar win does not count. My gut feels like Hatton, but my brain says Pac. This fight is so interesting. We could see an upset in the making. I can't seem to make up my mind.

    How do you feel?

    I'm leaning Pacquiao, but this is a very tough fight to call.

    It's very difficult to gauge how well Pac will perform based on the DLH win, so I really don't know.

    I tend to believe it will be an extremely difficult fight for Pacquiao in the early going. If he can make it through the first five, I suspect his superior conditioning will take over and that he will stop Hatton in the later rounds.

    Yes, I agree. I think the fans could be the real winners in this fight.

    Thanks, great answer. I sure feel pretty much the same.

    I'm on. I've always been a fan of Wright going back to his days when he fought Vargas a fight in which I thought he won.

    Hey Pimp; assuming Pavlik gets past Abraham, who would you rather see him fight, Winky or Williams? The winner will no doubt get a shot.

    When i heard that he was going to fight Mosley i said damn now Winky would get recognition and his name will be on top.

    And has been since then.

    Going back to the Vargas fight it was by no means a robbery it was a close fight IMO that could have gone either way.

    Yeah I thought at the time Winky had the wrong style for Shane but it was good to see him finally get a big fight after being ducked for years.

    Just a bit of trivia here: Winky's record in world title fights is 9-2-1 vs Williams record of 3-1 in world title fights. I think Winky's experience just might show up in this one. :bananamaniac

    After he's done with Williams Pavlik might be next.
