My only problem with him besides the fact that he's obviously fighting dlh for a payday is that no one knows what the he'll he's gonna do next. I mean ****, what weight class do u even consider this man... He is clearly avoiding the deep 135 division by hinting that he would like to fight ricky hatton next.. It makes no sense to got from 130 to 135 to 147 then to 140 in a years time.. Even manny has fallen to the temptations of money and left all respect behind, well not all respect but it's definately not the right thing for the sport

    very interesting point....

      does it matter who pacman is fighting as long as its top level competition? if pac retires without fighting marquez again, well then there is something wrong. but right now pac is fighting some serious competition, so i dont think there is much to ***** about... its not like he is dodging good fighters, (cough david haye). oh yea let me tell you, pac is dodging fighters by hinting he wants to fight a great fighter after fighting a great fighter... pac is in a situation where he has the ability to jump alot of divisions, so that means there are ALOT of big fights for him to choose from. how is he dodging when hes fighting top level guys?

        Hatton and DLH are obviously tough opponents. To say he's cherry picking is bull**** because DLH is stronger and taller than him. He is also a better technician. The physical disadvantages far outweight the advantages for Pacquiao. This is a fight where he can truly be hurt and Pacquiao is no Mayweather. Mayweather made a career of not needing to engage where as Pacquiao built his off of knocking *****s out.
