Thank u for the information it only shows how strong & legitimate Pacquiao's opponents were & wins all in style...but you need to be more specific, Jorge Solis (undefeated), Larios (unrank) current WBC Featherweight Champion, Oscar (unrank) but a 6 weight division champion who fought Mayweather just only last Dec 2007 & lost via split decision where Oscars leading in the 1st half...the same Oscar whom Pacquiao demolished last Dec 2008...the same Mayweather who brutally knock out Hatton...

Even if Hatton did beat him, it does not warrant him the spot of p4p #1, no way, no how.

[znarfv_y2k8]

...and remember Barerra, Morales, Marquez were top 5 P4P when Pacquiao demolished them....

...i agree w/ u, he has to beat Marquez, Cotto, Mosley, etc...simply beat elite champions first...

Sure that Delahoya wasnt the DLH from the late 90's early 2000 but the man was competitive 7 months prior to the fight with Forbes.

He didn't look good against Forbes, he was hit too easily, but almost everyone thought that was just an off night.

Delahoya was not drained he was just outworked by Pac speeds, head movement, footwork, and southpaw style.

So why did he come in to the ring at 147lb when everyone expected him to come in around 160lb?

Americans have been fighting their careers without ever travelling.The fact is Hatton beat Urango, Collazo, Mallignaggi, Castillo, all on foreign soil. He only lost to the greatest fighter of the last couple of decades.And Hatton doesn't hold as much as people make out. He likes to fight on the inside and his opponents tie him up making it look like Hatton is holding...aka Mallignaggi.

ill giv u castillo but he got a gift against collazo mallignaggi couldnt punch his way out of a paper bag and juan urango...r u kidding me...this division is garbage and i guarantee u pacman knocks him out+within+7

A win over Pacman should make him the P4P KING

Pacman is the man to beat, He is the KIng. Good luck to Hatton but Pacman will just box him to submission and Hatton is more of a MMA fighter. He clinch a lot a sucker puncher. A boxer will definetly neutralize him.

lmao, very true. these nigz fightin over something that doesn't even exist. No wonder Mayweather only thinks about the money

Nice job on showing your racism fat boy.

Hatton really has a chance, only if he can use what marquez did in their 2nd fight... Imagine hatton's powerful punch in marquez' style, surely pacquiao will eat the canvass... Marquez did'nt win that fight because marquez lacks power and he was afraid to go toe to toe with pacquiao because he knows that he will kiss the canvass for sure...

Try to compare marquez with hatton... Marquez is harder to find than hatton, he counter punches accurately and with a good timing... Yet pacquiao was able to defeat him with a very thin points... Hatton in the other hand is way too easy to find, if he will fight the way he fought malinaggi, i think it is way too easy for pacquiao to land his straight left...

What marquez did was go to the right side of pacquiao to avoid the left punch from pacquiao all night long... If ever he forget to do that, solid left will surely land to his face or to the body.. Hatton donesn't move so much to the side he goes straight with some jab (then sometimes hugs, sometimes doesn't, sometimes hands up, sometims doesn't base on his fight with malinaggi).

If he will face pacquiao and do what he did to malinaggi then before he can go close to him, right jabs might already be landed followed by straight left of pac... If hatton can take those shots then he should try to counter effectively with power... That might neutralize pacquiao's speed... Then it would be over for pacquiao because he will just take those shots the way he took malinaggi's punch...

Pacquiao's power is no joke... it can't be compare to that of malinaggi... Therefore, for me, a late round TKO or a UD for pacquiao... (Just disregard pacquiao's fight with Diaz and DLH)
