Pacquiao back to 147lbs?
I don't think that will happen. Roach only wanted the fight as de la Hoya had to kill himself to make weight - Freddie knew this.
If Pacquiao wins then don't be surprised to see a 3rd fight with Marquez, or a return to 135lb.
Mayweather Vs Marquez - I am skeptical about that happening.
Pacquiao will never fight Cotto, Mosley or any other natural 147lb'er - he's too small against a healthy welter - Freddie knows this too.
Perhaps a fight for Pacquiao could be Velero.
In my opinion, Floyd isn't coming back - these people are blowing smoke up your arses.
Hatton KO10.
JUST MY OPINION THOUGH!

Who would you rather see fight Floyd?
I would rather see Pac full stop.
Hatton can call himself what he likes, he wonlt be p4p anythng until he steps up and proves it.
Fight a SSM or a Cotto and win. Hatton is only in some people top 10 because he beat KT.
Who else has he beat?
Put a string of top wins together then we can talk.

He wouldn't be fighting the Holt's and Bradley's, he'd be fighting the Mayweather/JMM winner... or Amir Khan

I'd rather see Pacquaio versus Mayweather/Marquez/Cotto than Hatton v Mayweather/Marquez (Hatton won't face Cotto, Arrum wants Pac to face Cotto though). Plus we could still have Hatton-Khan for the WBA if Hatton loses.

If Khan can win it, which I very much doubt.

I do think Pac-PBF would be more intresting because it wasnt as if Hatton had a bad night against Mayweather he got beat by the better man PBF would outbox Hatton every time

Since he beat Zoo, he's had a few decent wins - stopping Castillo and Malignaggi are feats on their own, but I begrudgingly agree with you about saying he shouldn't be P4P#1 if he beats Pacquiao. At first, I thought he should be, but now I have changed my mind.
If Pac does beat Hatton, who we looking at for number one then?
Marquez?

They all agree in the end! Castillo and PM were not the best fighters he could fight, but they made the most $$$ without Hatton getting beaten, he would lose against SSM - Cotto - Bradley and most likely Holt.

Hatton would lose against SSM and Cotto, but it's silly to say Holt and Bradley would beat him. Very silly.

Well Marquez will be getting whipped by Mayweather in July, so umm Mayweather again
![[icon_e_biggrin.gif] :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
D Its funny that Hatton is trying to claim P4P no1 with FMJ back in the sport. If Hatton wins we'll have to watch him get drubbed by FMJ again
In terms of who's the best at weight Chad Dawson and Paul Williams imo, they haven't got the deepest resume's but that isn't what P4P was originally all about

I am very skeptical about the Marquez and Mayweather fight - I will believe it when I see them on the scales.

The noises have been good, unless Marquez is just pretending to be in talks with FMJ to get his name about but then again even the TV companies are talking about it
