At a recent gathering in Atlantic City, N.J., Bob Arum was on hand with a bunch of boxing writers who where there questioning the legendary Promoter. Arum had plently to say, incuding his feelings on Floyd Mayweather Jr and the upcoming battle between Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera. Arum dissed Mayweather for not taking any fights that are risks, and indicated the only reason Mayweather is willing to face Ricky Hatton on Decemeber 8, is because he knows he can beat Hatton. Arum also made his prediciton on Saturday's fight with Pacquiao and Barrera. Arum feels Pacquiao will win
again, but feels its foolish to automatically think Pacquiao will once again knock-out Barrera.
In regards to Mayweather vs Hatton, Arum told the reporters: "Ricky Hatton is a good kid, but he has no chance – none – at beating Mayweather."
Arum added: "If he did, Mayweather wouldn't think about fighting him in a million years. Mayweather doesn't want to fight anyone, and I mean anyone, who can really fight."
In regards to Pacquiao vs Barrera, Arum stated: "It is a very serious mistake to think that because Manny knocked Barrera out in 2003, he's going to do it again."
Arum added: "The circumstances are totally different. I think Manny will win, but not because he won in 2003, but because he's really improved tremendously since then. (Trainer) Freddie Roach has
done a great job with him."
