Hatton is true; Mayweather is something I feel might happen!

Just recently, in an outside interview, Manny said that after the fight with Oscar, he will be ready to face Hatton. What I like about Manny, is that he doesn’t bullshit around the microphone. He says exactly what the plan is. Him fighting Hatton, would provide action. I think that it would be a must have for both fighters.

After Hatton lost to Mayweather, his fame came to a pause. And even now, after beating Malignaggi, still I would say he is not all the way resurrected.

A fight against the Pacman, would give him another shot at complete fame. It would give him the confidence and inspiration for the proper training. A win over Manny, would put him on the very top, and open up roads for many fights. I even think that if he would fight and bean Pacman, Mayweather would pop out and offer a rematch!

Same goes for Pacman. If he beats Oscar, what’s next? Who would he fight is not Hatton. Sure I always said that another fight with HMM would be good for boxing. But I think this fight is not going to happen. Beating Hatton, in my opinion, would be a lot for Manny. As the matter of fact, I think that this is the only way to bring Mayweather out of retirement!

Think about it. At that point in time, Pacman would be the ultimate boxer in the sport. Everyone with his weight reach will want to get to him. No one that I can think of would be deserving of it. Except Floyd.

If they can reach a deal, this fight would sell out like nothing ever before. The hype would reach some serious new heights. Tickets would sell at an instance. PPV will break the record.

This is the fight where truly, either guy can win. I think that the weight difference is doable, and I think that it should be something we keep in mind. Mayweather’s speed and output would be met by Pacman’s, and they are very close to being similar.

  1. thank you..something to think about,,?
    stoker

  2. Rematches are tough in this day and age of boxing.

    Many fighters (like Joe Calzaghe), prefer one fight so the PPV numbers are high on each one of there fights. Also, once you have beaten a guy, why would you want to rematch them?

    For Mayweather its a different story to that of Calzaghe, Floyd blows his money compared to the humbler lifestyle of Calzaghe.

    This alone will force him to return to the ring sooner, rather than later.

  3. if pacquia-hatton fight will push through, hatton will suffer the same fate of david diaz. at present, i beleive only mayweather can counter the speed, aggressiveness and punching power of pacquiao.

  4. Pacman can't win against Mayweather.
    Let him do a tune-up fight against Guzman first
    to know if he's ready to fight the likes of Mayweather.
