Hatton targets Pacquiao finale

Light welter
comment on the article

Ricky Hatton says he will have two more fights before retiring.

One of those will come against Paulie Malignaggi later this year in Las Vegas.

news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/box...

And the 'Hitman' says he would like his last fight to be against Manny Pacquiao or Oscar de la Hoya.

Hatton also says that he would like the fight to be at Wembley, in front of 100,000 people.

I personally would love to see Hatton take on Pacquiao and victory over the Filipino would be a fitting way to bow out.

I'm not so sure Hatton would beat Pacquiao based on their last performances though.

Hatton laboured to a points victory over Juan Lazcano in May while Pacquiao looked sensational beating David Diaz at the weekend.

What do you reckon, can Hatton beat Pacquiao and what weight would they fight at?

have got a good reason on why bradley is better than paulie??
----------------------------
Just based on my opinion of having seen them fight.
Paulie's speed? I think Bradley is faster. Bradley is certainly fitter, with a bigger punch. I think he's technically better.
Split decision over Witter? Better than a split decision over N'dou.

Malignaggi boxed with one hand against Nd'ou, and still came through. Don't forget the silly hair he had either laugh

Bradley better than Malignaggi is laughable doh

Smithy2k i think we have found something we agree on smiley

bradley beat a poor witter and is now the next mayweather!!

evan tho i think ngoudjo was robbed against paulie, malignaggi got the decsion and im telling you now, ngoujo is a cracking win to have on anyone's record and id say he'd beat bradley convincinly

and bob ..... bradley technically better than paulie???? .... no way!!!!

bradley will not be champ long if he gets put in with good opponents...most LWW top 10's would test timothy big time and probaly beat him.......

hatton would beat both winkeye .... FACT!

Since I last checked, winning was winning however you did it smiley

If you can't take the KO chance when it's then, don't complain if you go on to lose winkeye
