    Pacquiao should stay at 140 or move up a little bit and fight Ricky Hatton

    This is kind of old news -- this fight is very close to being announced.

    I would like to see it , but Manny is way too young and faster than DLH. This fight would have been way better if DLH was younger.

    That was the plan but Hatton has an iron-clad agreement to fight Paulie Malignaggi in November. There was some talk of giving Paulie step aside money ($1 million) but they weren't giving him a guarantee to fight the winner so he said no.

    I would love to see this, especially if it turns out like DLH vs. Chavez when Chavez was on the way out. Would love to see that in reverse...

    thats why i wanted de la hoya to fight margarito. it would be so ironic. de la hoya beat the crap out a mexican hero and margarito would have a chance to do the same to end de la hoyas carreer.

    As of today, it's official. Oscar is a 2 to 1 favorite.

    He is bigger and stronger. I want to see what weight they are at fight time.

    That's pretty funny, DLH is past his prime. Pacquiao doesn't have the knock out power to take DLH down so it'll be a long fight but I think Pacquiao will win.

    it's never about power with pacquiao.

    pacman punches in bunches... i think he's got the advantage in scorecards and is more nimble than DLH who may be showing his age. in a long fight, pacman wins this one.

    That would be awesome. Since Money Mayweather retired, is it safe to say that Manny has took over the thrown of the best pound for pound boxer? I think Manny would be too quick for the Golden Boy.

    REVIVING thread for a roll call and to answer some questions everyone wants to know:

    Where are you watching it? - me: who knows?

    Who will win it? - I think Pac-Man (not Jones) and I am willing to put money on it... he's earned us Mexicans' respect, yo, but since ODLH is promoting it, it is going to seem FIXED when ODLH beats him.

    Wanna start a pot?

    MoBalls, I got so much stuff planned with the family BEFORE, DURING, AFTER, it's not even funny... :( I might even miss it...
