Pacquiao should stay at lightweight

[Consiglieri]

There are a lot of big fights there.

Campbell
Guzman
Juan Diaz
Casamayor
Marquez (again)

The problem right now, obviously is that they're all scheduled to fight in September but I'd like to see how Pac measures up to the other top lightweights.

manny should fight romanov the guy is ranked in all sanction bodies and its a date filler for october or november to set his self up for guzman campbell diaz casa marguez or whoever

[abadger]

He is easily the most talented boxer, even in the stacked LW division. I think his only real problem is if he really does come up against someone who is too big. He didn't exactly seem to be small at the weight himself, so I'm not sure who this would be.

I expect Pacman to be the man at LW now, and outside of money only type fights against the likes of De La Hoya, Hatton or even Mayweather, the best comp is definitely at LW.

I wonder though, whether Pacman will share that opinion, because this is a guy who has made his name beating Barrera, Marquez and Morales and he may feel he deserves even bigger fights than those offered by the likes of Campbell, Juan Diaz and a faded Casamayor.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him in with Hatton at 140, and if he wins I could easily imagine Mayweather coming back to face him. It would have to be at 140 to be competitive though, 147 has to be too big for Pacquiao.

No need for him to go anywhere. LW is where it's at for Pac right now.

yep even pac said no at 147 right after the fight interview, still he said he is comfortable at 140. versus hatton though, it would be really close IMO

a Valero fight doesn't bring too much for Pacquaio

it would be an exciting fight for people who follow boxing because Valero is a big slugger but right now he's relatively unknown

I'd rather see Pacquiao vs. Campbell/Guzman/Casamayor and try to become a more legitimate lightweight champ

pacquiao should fight hatton as soon as possible and get that payday first. then he can duke it out with the rest of the lightweights if his bid for the 140 title is unsuccessful.

[Consiglieri]

I'd be for Hatton/Pacquiao.

That would be such a huge worldwide event and an exciting matchup.

I'm more against the Valero fight than anything.
