I think it is, no hate on Hatton because he is a warrior too, but I just don't think Hatton is in Mannys league... Not even close to it, the only one in Manny's league is Juan Manuel Marquez.
I think its a victory for boxing tonight. de la hoya was stupid for fighting mani in the first place, he had nothing to gain. Him getting beat makes Mani- hatton massive! Its on.
I don't see why it would be pointless, Hatton in the linear 140 champion, Pacquiao can become a linear champion in another weight division.
IMHO, fight with hatton is the most significant out there for PAC with his lineal championship at 140 and BIGGEST in terms of $$$ ...
Not to mention the fact that this is probably the biggest fight out there, for both fighters financially, even if Mayweather is still around.
Yeah, it's a big money fight and I believe Pacquiao would be the first fighter in the history of the sport to win linear titles in 4 weight divisions.
Hatton would have looked good against De La Hoya tonight. He had nothing to give.
Hatton vs Pac is the biggest fight in boxing. Maybe not in terms of money compared to Mayweather. But I would rather see a fight, than Mayweather throwing one punch and running.
Hatton vs Pac is THE fight.

some of u guys are underestimating hatton... styles make fights and hatton is too big for pac... unlike dlh hatton isn't afraid to bum rush pac and be physical w/ pac.
Mayweather and Pacquiao is the best and biggest fight out their no doubt. I am a big Mayweather fan but this one scares me. He hasn't fought in a year and your relexes have to be sharp as hell to keep up with Pacquiao. At 140 I think Mayweather is faster. Would do you guys think?
Pac-Hatton may be a forgone conclusion but it's not pointless. I doubt Manny would want to risk facing JMM at this point when he can go out with a huge win against Hatton.
this fight will happen because its easy money for manny. he will make $20 million and destroy the Hitman in the process. Pointless for us? Yes. Pointless for Pacquiao? Absolutely Not!
