Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao: Manny and Ricky wants it
Nov 24, 2008

Manny Pacquiao said he would love to fight Ricky Hatton in Britain. “I want to come to the UK because I've never been there, I want to see the place,” Pacquiao, who has been training with the rising British boxing talent Amir Khan in Hollywood, said. “I'd like to fight in front of a big crowd. I know it would be a great, great fight if it were to happen. I'm very comfortable at 140lb so I would be OK to fight Ricky.”

“When I was told I would be fighting on December 6, I was originally told I would be fighting Ricky,” Pacquiao said. “But now it's Oscar. I wasn't disappointed because I know I have a lot of time to have that fight.”

Meanwhile, Hatton is awaiting the result of the Manny Pacquiao vs Oscar De La Hoya bout, and said he would love to fight whoever the winner of the fight.

"I think it would be a very interesting fight," said the former heavyweight champion, the British Lennox Lewis said. "They have to agree on what weight they want to come in at, but obviously the fans would love to see a fight like that."

Mayweather Sr., Hatton's Trainer, concurs, saying would love to see the fight come true: "There's no question about it, 'Pacman' is the pefect match for Ricky, I'd love to see that fight. But I don't see Pacquiao beating Oscar."

Ricky Hatton bounced back from a stoppage defeat to pound4pound king Floyd Mayweather jnr last December with a clear but tough unanimous points win over Juan Lazcano. In beating the Mexican warrior in front of 56,000 hometown fans Hatton proved he is still a p4p top 10 fighter but maybe a fighter in decline. Nevertheless we will find out exactly what the ’Hitman’ has left when he faces IBF junior-welterweight champ Paulie Malignaggi in Las Vegas on November 22.
