If Pacquiao loses....

[talip bin osman]

Marquez is waiting regardless, though he may fancy a pop at Hatton, both for the money and his obsession to one-up Pacquiao

if Pacman loses to Hatton and Marquez consecutively, his legacy may be irreparably tarnished

i politely disagree sir...

roy jones lost by TKO back to back against relatively lesser fighters, but not a lot of people (including me) look at his legacy irreparably tarnished in any way... do u?

in any case MP's legacy is pretty much in cement now IMO...

actually yeah they did damage Jones's legacy quite a bit. He got KTFO twice in a year!

less than Pacquiao losing would, however, due to the multitude of excuses available to Jones and his fans, while Pacman is pretty much considered to be in his prime and at his peak

maybe i overstated it, but you can't deny the effect losing twice in a row to Hatton and JMM at this stage in his career would have on his short and long term standing in the sport??

yeah i would think so...

MP's star status would really suffer & his leverage in financial negotiations would almost instantly vanish...

not realy he already has a hof career and beat some of the best. his accomplishments flyweight to welterweight will never be taken away from him. plus hatton is a bigger man and he already beat marquez.

I see that too... but I guess his name would still be attractive to most fighters who desires to be on the spotlight of boxing.

Pac brings money to the table that's about it... Wether he loses or not he always be a target for any fighter outhere...

[MANGLER]

The guys who want Pac now will want Hatton if he beats Pac.

Be interesting to see what Marquez would do.

Attempt to one-up Pacquiao and have a huge payday at the same time in fighting Hatton

Or is his desire to prove himself the superior boxer to Pacquiao so strong that he'll skip the Hatton payday and try to climb his Everest for once and for all, as soon as possible?
