After giving a boxing lesson and a brutal beating to former WBC Lightweight champion David Diaz, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao was planning to go up to 140lbs to get his 5th weight division World Title against the Light Welterweight champion Ricky Hatton, which Freddie Roach said that Ricky Hatton is the perfect opponent for pacquiao because of his slugger type of a fighter and easy to be hit. But there are some rumors that Edwin Valero will fight Pacman at 135lbs or Lightweight division, so it seems like all the Super Featherweight Division champions are going to the Lightweight Division following Pacman, such as Joan Guzman who's already set for a fight against Nate Campbell this coming september 13, 2008 and also Juan Manuel Marquez against the WBO Lightweight champion Joel Casamayor, and now the WBA Super Featherweight champion Edwin Valero who is rumored to fight Manny Pacquiao at Lightweight. I know pacman will dominate the Lightweight division easily except if Marquez wants a rematch with him in lightweight after the Marquez-Casamayor fight this coming september 13, 2008. The next big fight for pacman and most of the boxing fans wanna see is a shot against Ricky Hatton at 140lbs and not against a B class champion Edwin Valero. Go for the 5th division world title Pacman!!

Doesn't matter who's opponent Manny is up against nor which division is he fighting, the important thing is that manny should be fully prepared in all of his fights. Go Manny!
I think Manny would really be pushing it to move up even further, especially all that soon. How much more can his small frame take? I know it would be a great fight with Hatton-two strict aggressors and all but I'm just not convinced Manny can get there in tact. His win over Diaz was damned impressive though, I'll give him that.
I could go for another go around between Manny and Marquez, myself. I think they're well matched and I always wanted Marquez to slip up into lightweight. Great blog.
