Hatton: Khan would give Mayweather a lot of problems
By William Mackay: Ricky Hatton is convinced that his close friend IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan would give unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. a lot of problems if and when they fight in the future. Hatton sees Khan’s hand speed and his in and out attacks as something that would cause Mayweather to struggle. However, Hatton is wise enough to see Mayweather still beating Khan, but he thinks it wouldn’t be easy.
Are people writing Manny off too quickly in a fight against Floyd?
By Lisa Madeina: Boxing…it’s a sport of hit and not get hit, it’s a chess match, you know, poetry in motion. But it’s also a sport where anything can happen and one punch can change, or end everything. Agreed? I hope so. Which brings me to my point, are people writing off Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao off to quickly?
Hatton: Mayweather would likely beat Pacquiao by a lopsided decision
By Chris Williams: Ricky Hatton thinks a future bout between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be an anti-climactic one with Mayweather easily beating the Filipino fighter by a lopsided 12 round decision. Hatton has been in with both fighters, and although he was taken out in the 2nd round by Pacquiao and beaten by a 10th round TKO by Mayweather, Hatton still sees Mayweather beating the starch off of Pacquiao.
Pacquiao vs. Mayweather or Marquez? Roach has the solution

Is boxing a dying sport?
By Dominic Sauboorah: Throughout the 20th century boxing was considered to be one of the biggest attractions in the history of sport. Not just the fact that thousands of people from around the globe had the opportunity to witness two warriors clobbering one another in a somewhat barbaric and even inhumane fashion; however there is a more in depth reason.
Mayweather’s legacy secure
By John F. McKenna (McJack): When WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) defeated WBO/WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez last Saturday night via highly controversial decision ironically it seemed to settle questions many boxing fans had about WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KO’s).
Floyd Mayweather junior is a bigger issue to Manny Pacquiao, than the controversies with Marquez
By Babatis Banda – It is an obvious fact that Floyd Mayweather junior is a bigger issue to be settled, than the slim wins Manny has had with Marquez. Simple logic would demand that the next fight for Manny should be against Floyd Mayweather junior, than go for a fourth attempt at Marquez. Arum by choosing to go and try to settle the issue for the fourth time, putting aside the possibilities of putting Manny with Floyd is a farce, and pure injustice to the fans. It is a clear escape route to avoid the fight.
Mayweather #1, Marquez #2, Pacquiao #3 in Pound-4-Pound rankings?
By Chris Williams: You can make a good argument that the pound for pound rankings need to be adjusted after last Saturday night’s bout between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. Currently, Pacquiao is ranked #1, Mayweather #2 and Marquez at #5 in The Ring Pound for pound rankings. Marquez has now proven that he’s better than Paquiao in their three fights, and you can no longer have Pacquiao ranked ahead of Marquez after last Saturday’s fight.
