Is Pac not a little small to be a threat here?

This has been doing the rumour rounds for quite a while now.

I suppose if Pacman wins the lightweight 'title' in his next fight it's just one more weight class.

I do think he's too small, considering he was once flyweight champ, but it would be a huge moneyspinner and Pacman would have a lot of backers.

There eventually has to be a limit to the power you can crank out of a small engine before the engine blows.

A lot of it will depend on how much Hatton has left, and how slow and hittable Pac becomes.

Personally, if Hatton can get it together for one more big fight, he could conceivably embarass Pac Man beyond all recognition.

Its hard to see any other conclusion.

I would , too much weight on too small a frame . He'd just be too small size wise for Hatton .

His class will tell against David Diaz , but I wouldn't be surprised to see Diaz's size and brute strength cause difficulties for Pacquiao in that contest .

I remember it was Freddie roach who was actually talking up the match potential in an interview a while back.

BTW ...... Isnt Freddie Roach looking the worse for wear this year .

Definitely too small. Lets see how he gets on at lightweight before even considering talking about 140

He won his first title at 108 for Godsake!
