Hatton or Marquez for Pacquiao?

[Left Hook Tua]

After Juan Manuel's great win , is there anyone in the world that does NOT want to see a rubber match between Pacquiao and Marquez?

If Hatton beats Paulie , it's a probability we'll never see a Pacquiao-Marquez trilogy. The Oscar and Ricky fights will net Manny about $40 mil. and he'll probably retire.

That being said , if Hatton loses , we'll definitely see Pacquiao-Marquez 3 next year.

The ideal would be Pacquiao-Marquez 3 early 2009 and Pacquiao-Hatton mid 2009 but I doubt Arum would risk a Marquez fight before a potential superfight with Ricky.

So I'm interested to see would people root for Hatton to lose so we'd be guaranteed in seeing a Pacquiao-Marquez rubber match next year?

[Silencers]

There's no guarantee that if Hatton loses Pacquiao will fight Marquez again, I wouldn't be surprised if he fought Malignaggi.

And I don't think it means Pacquiao-Marquez 3 won't happen if Pacquiao-Hatton happens, I think it'll just be a longer wait.

i cant see Hatton losing to Malignaggi IMO !
But i may be wrong!
Love to see Hatton fight Pac though!

I disagree , Silence.

Without Hatton , no other fight would command more money than Pacquiao-Marquez 3.

There's no money in fighting at 140 aside from Ricky. Even if Paulie beats Ricky he's not a draw.

If Pacquiao-Hatton happens 50/50 Manny retires or Floyd comes out of retirement and kills Marquez's chance for a rubber match.

If Ricky loses and Floyd stays retired , Marquez-Pacquiao 3 will happen next year. Guaranteed.

I'm torn.

We need a Marquez-Pacquiao trilogy BUT damn a Hatton-Pacquiao fight would be so entertaining as hell along with the excitement and press the buildup would create.

A win over Hatton could make Malignaggi pretty big, especially in NY, we'll see after the fight if he wins how it affects his popularity.

I just think that Pacquiao will take the fight after Hatton, if Hatton wins, because as you said, it would be a big money fight, it would determine the best lightweight in the division and Marquez will be a year or so older by that point, which would make him about 36 years old, he could slow up a bit by then.

That's assuming Mayweather doesn't unretire for him.

[Sonic Flood]

Legacy wise and Money wise It's Hattom.. Can you just imagine the magnitude of this fight with all the Brits out there.

Pacquiao can become a 6 Division Champ of Hattons' IBF 140 belt and Ring Belt..

the only way a floyd fight makes sense is if manny actually beats oscar and hatton. a possibility but doubtful.

how about juanma at 135 beginning of 2009 , hatton at 140 mid 2009 and floyd at 140 end of 2009 after manny beats oscar this year at 147?

That's a great schedule but Pacquiao won't get past DLH.

i'm hoping oscar grows old overnight and has problems making 147.

manny needs some help......
