MANILA, Philippines—Manny Pacquiao is headed for a showdown against fellow brawler Ricky Hatton in a duel that will most likely take place on May 2 at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas’ Thomas and Mack Center,
Pacquiao, the reigning World Boxing Council lightweight champion, will be gunning for a fifth weight crown against Hatton, who holds the International Boxing Organization junior welterweight belt.
don't think the fight is going to happen. Pacquiao can't risk his fame fighting Hatton, especially if he beat JMM and David Diaz in Lightweight. There's heaps of talents to fight in the Junior Lightweight and Lightweight. And plenty of money too. But if it does, I don't thin Pac can handle Hatton's power. Pacquiao is a devastating puncher, but to add around 10 pounds to his weight, I don't think he can carry the speed and power. Hatton on the other hand would be in his comfortable weight.
