Barrera: "Manny Pacquiao Should Fight Ricky Hatton"

[deevel79]

I agree with Barrera. Pac will not get ANY credit if he were to beat Soto or Valero. I'd prefer to see him in the ring with either Guzman or Hatton.

Barrera didnt say this unless he is competiting with Arum.

It looks like the GBP vs Top Ranks has become official

I don't like at all the way Barrera discredits Soto. I've only seen a handful of Soto's fights and know that dude is no bull****. With that said, I don't think he should fight Soto next, but I also don't think he should fight Hatton next or at all personally. Would it make for an interesting fight? Sure, but I'm tired of seeing the same trend where once a fighter has become accomplished, they only go for big paydays that don't really add any real significance to their legacy. People will argue that and say Hatton is a big name on Pacquiao's resume and could potentially win him a 5th belt but in reality Hatton is a shell of himself and Pacquiao would wipe the floor with him. He's to ****ing fast, hits too hard, and Hatton's ability to take shots has diminished severely. I would much rather see Manny stay at Lightweight and clean that division out. That would be a hell of a lot more impressive and there is still big names and big money fights to happen within that division.

I Agree Pac Wont Get Any Credit For Beating Someone Like Soto But Only Because Not Many Know Him But He Is Better Than Barrera And Morales At Time That Pac Fought Them And Not To Mention A Power Puncher

Barrera is alway tricky guy to fight.

He looked good against Marquez it not what the scorecard showed it was actually a very close fight if it wasnt for Nady not consider the KO Barrera won in many people's scorecard

Well if PAC and Hatton ever fight... PAC would eat HATTON'S heart for lunch.... It would be a Mayweather Hatton ending... PAC is too fast and has great power with excellent boxing skills. Hatton would not last, but would hold his own for a good amount of time...and it would be a fight to see... I would pay for it and I'm sure Hatton's fans that are paying top dollar to go to Vegas (thinking that they getting bargain lol) will maybe have some spare change to go watch him again.

Pacman should listen to his old buddy Barrera. Pacman shouldnt keep taking dangerous fighters that he wont get credit for.
He should just go for the ridiculous achievements now to cement his legacy. Like take on Hatton and if he beats him. Step up to lightwelter and fight whoever is champ there. But not take too many unnecesary fights now. Time to wind it down.
Then RETIRE while he has his brains intact.

But Barrera is putting Hatton because he believe Hatton could win and raise his stocks.

Barrera is a co-owner of GBP so is advantage for him to make PAc-Hatton to make money instead of Pac -Soto and Arum makes money

Hatton will WHUP Pacman

Marco Antonio Barrera has advised his former rival Manny Pacquiao to skip his slated November 15 bout with Humberto Soto, forget about Edwin Valero - and stay on track to a showdown with Ricky Hatton in 2009. Pacquiao holds two dominating wins over Barerra. [details]
