    Now if he beats Hatton at 140... that's quite interesting.



    after the 1st bout with morales, i thought his frame wouldnt be able to handle any additional weight....i even had my doubts at 130 for that matter...


    i thought 126 was going to be the mainstay for PAC...

      i think hes a 135 fighter, i dont know why but i just do. i suppose i could see pacman taking someone on as a JWW but only at the end of his career, rather like how winky might have one final fight at SMW. that doesn't mean that hes a SMW though does it.

      same thing applies here, pacman to me is not a JWW his best weight would be lightweight. i personally think that he also has an ideal physique for boxing, thick legs he puts on muscle easily and has a good reach.

      but i agree with deevil79, alot of the big fighters at LW would quite easily move up and challenge him.

        his fight with Oscar seem like he was 140... I mean he'll probly weigh the same on fight night vs. Hatton like he did with Oscar..

          Pacman is in danger of putting himself in a corner here imo, he's not going to be able to fight at 147, the top guy's will ruin him, he has only one real fight at 140 hatton

          The 130/135 guys might easily just let him rot at 140 and not come up, if he's being **** about money with the biggest draw in boxing they aren't going to make big bucks fighting him when he starts asking for 80/20 of 300k PPV's

              The problem with figuring out what pac weight is that even at 130 he was fighting against people who fought at 126 or lower most of their careers.

              But look what happenedDiaz and Oscar are his first naturally beyond 126 guys and he looked spectacular!

              I want to see him fight Hatton. Hatton at 140 is strong and fast. That should give us a very exact measure of how he fares against top opposition at these higher weights.

                Diaz got KTFO quicker by a young Green Holt so i'm not sure how you can use that to show Pacman can deal with 140 and I can't honestly say that the walking corpse with the ODLH mask on answered anything either.

                I have Pacman winning a UD against hatton but it could very easily be 2 weights too far for the maestro and he gets bullied and battered, I wouldn't think any less of him if he did.

                  I am not downplaying Pac-Man's accomplishments t all, but he seriously needs to return to 135 after Hatton, especially if he loses because there are too many fighters there that could give him problems, and he shouldn't bypass them.

                    He is best at what his body can make comfortably, then you lose no punching power.
                    The Oscar fight was a superbly calculated risk, not sure if the hatton one is.
                    I doubt he will take that much power up to 140 and Hatton has a decent chin.
                    It won't be one way traffic either, can he take what Hatton dishes out.
