    There both big draws, still a relatively large payday. And as we've seen Hatton is too small for the welters and one step closer to Pac in terms of size. Oscar is too big for welters. If Pac is gonna brawl his way to a win it's not going to be against the larger DLH. Hatton would be more competitive and still maintain superfight status.

      Ok...so its pretty much unanimous that this fight is career suicide for Pacman. What I would like to know is if this fight were to happen and by some miracle Pacquiao wins pretty decisively when Mayweather barely sc****d by delahoya. Would the victory be enough to hoist Pacman over Mayweather on anyone else's p4p list besides mine?? Cuz i dont know bout y'all but for a guy who started his career at minimumweight to lay a beating on a 154lb olympic gold medalist is a HUGE ****ing achievement regardless if he is past his prime. That would be like floyd laying a beating on david haye. Thoughts anyone??

        He would need to take the #1 spot if PBF didn't fight Cotto. It seems rather unlikely that Pac could bully DLH though. This fight really needs to not happen. I really wish DLH would go away. The only fight he needs to take is Trinidad or Wright IMO then go away.

          If they fight, I don't think Pac is dumb to trade punches with Oscar or get hit by Oscar's left hook.. Freddie Roach trained Oscar on his fight with Floyd and he can measure Oscar's power.. I could see a lot of bully and head body movement on Pac's part though..

          A fight with Pavlik, Wright, Cotto, Margarito, Forest, and Trinidad makes more sense in middleweight.

            Pac generally doesn't fight as a slickster, so i'm not sure how excellent he'd be trying it for his first time against DLH. Also, he'll be a whole lot slower carrying all that extra weight. If Pac beat DLH.. DLH and PBF would look like clowns IMO. PBF would definitely try and get his hands on Pac if it happened. For another superfight.

              Pac doesnt need to bully oscar to win decisively. If he is truly the hardest puncher in the sport p4p he will always have a puncher's chance of knocking out oscar. Or Oscar may gas in the later rounds from making the catchweight allowing pacman to go to his old balls to the wall version. So to you the W would not be enough for the 1spot even temporarily unless floyd absolutely does not fight Cotto huh?? interesting opinion. I would give him the 1 spot and only give it back to floyd with a win over cotto.

                  I think that if PBF fights and beats Cotto then he retains it. If he is still in celebrity exhibition mode then Pac would take it. I think it's a moot point though b/c Pac's speed and power are going to be diminished at such a higher weight. We haven't even seen how Pac's power looks at lightweight, and we're going to throw him in with a top Junior Middle? Granted it's at a catchweight but I think it's a bad matchup for Pac.

                    By the time all this happens I'm sure Haye will be on top of heavyweights.. Pac -vs- Haye 09. Megabout.
