Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton is Next, Says Arum

[Benny Leonard]

I suggest we take the Oscar fight out of the eqaution and judge Manny prior to this fight since Oscar was obviously not right. It will help make a better prediction.

if you do that then hatton is the automatic winner cause pac is too small

[ListenUpWell]

do 100,000 british really want to see their idol destroyed by Pacquiao in his own backyard??? lol Pac will kill if they fight!

I'm british and I wanna see it lol What can I say? I love a good ruck. I wouldn't say Hatton is my idol though so maybe I'm not one of those 100, 000?

Most will favour Pacman for this fight and whilst I'm not disaggreeing, I do think Hatton will give Pacquiao a lot more trouble than he's had recently. Hatton is a bigger man and is not a soft puncher, we've yet to see how Pacman takes multitudes of solid punches from a bigger man. And remember, when Pac's hit, Pac likes to trade too - this could be a WAR.

One more thing - venue. I think they could stage this in England on a Sunday afternoon much like De La Hoya mentioned, that could result in a record crowd (there's probably over 1000000 brits who'd want to watch this fight before Pac's travelling support is even mentioned) along with both the US and UK being able to watch on TV should they not attend. Could be the biggest event since Rumble in the Jungle.

Unlike David Diaz and sadly...oscar, Hatton will actually be throwing punches and putting up a fight.

I love how people think Hatton is going to get KO'd but floyd will beat manny easily.

Hatton will be the hardest fight manny's ever faced, he certanly won't be a shot as DLH was that night. Personally don't think floyd will risk his 0 if manny wins.

finally, a competitive fight that i actually want to see with the p4p champ, i knew the dlh fight would be one sided but this fight could have fight of the year written all over it. i dont know who i would take at this point, but it will be one hell of a war, good for boxing

[Mayfeather]

hatton and pacman would be an absolute war, i think the thing with DLH was that he was fighting for the fame and the money whereas Hatton needs fights like Pacman to cemete his resume.

hatton's style works most of the time
because a lot of his opponents didn't have any hurting power and explosive speed like manny does.
he looked good in his last fight because paulie didn't have any pop to stop
hatton from rushing him.

all manny has to do with hatton is stay off the rope and keep the fight in the center of the ring. manny will hit and turn hatton in circles.

eventually hatton will get frustrated and sloppy then manny will start hurting him. this time hatton will get a beating and that is worst then a ko.

I'm British/English and I wanna go but I wouldn't be cheering on Hatton.

then people would call hatton "shot"
