I think Pacman might rearrange his face a bit to be honest. I'll plop for an upset in favor of him.

Hope De La Hoya loses, although it's highly unlikely. He'll win and go on to fight Hatton.
Anyone else interested?

What about Amir Khan isn't he fighting soon ?
If anyone doesn't know the story of his opponents career it's worth reading

I really hope that Manny kicks the shite out of him, but i very much doubt it will happen.
Pacquiao has fought at 106lbs for all bar 1 of his fights (which was at 135) and is now expected to step up another weight to 147lbs in order to take on De La Hoya. De La Hoya is obviously not the fighter he once was, but he's going to have a huge physical advantage.
"If" MP can pull this off he'll put himself into the legendary bracket for me.

De La Hoya will win. That said, he's not beaten anyone truly world class for about 10 years.
Will be too big and clever for Manny though.

This fight is obviously all about the money, but i would of preferd to see Pacquiao fight Marquez for a 3rd time, then try clean up the 135 pound division.
He easily dispatched of David Diaz at that weight, but id like to see him fight the likes of Katsidis, Juan Diaz and Casamayor.

the MEN was saying apart from the winner of this fight, another possibility for Hatton was Marquez... i thought both of them were only around bantamweight/light featherweight?
I think Marquez has been following Pacquaio as hes been moving up the weight divisons. They fought twice, which ended in a draw and a win for Pacquaio. Marquez has felt hard done by the judges in both fights and as been chasing a 3rd fight, so has been moving up in weight as Pacquaio has.
Marquez recently beat Casamayor at 135 pound, so i think he could well move up to 140 to fight Hatton, that would be another fight id like to see, as i really rate Marquez.
As you said ,they started off fighting at a lower weight so for them both to move up to 135 pounds and win well is impressive.

I think his 'comeback' fight is in December, again he's someone that I want to do well, but the reality is he can't take a punch so his future doesn't look too bright.
And Sky are having a barney if they think I'm watching Amir Khan on Pay Per View.
Oh and Del La Hoya won't get beat, no way.

having a barney? that means fight in liverpool.
Surely Amir Khan won't be on PPV?
And he got proven to be a Eurosport calibre boxer. Surely no one would pay for it?
tickets are only £30 to actually go, £16 for ppv would really be taking the piss.

Oh, we, round these parts, say it to mean 'having a bubble*'.
*But obviously don't want to say bubble.

I'm really not meaning to be deliberately obtuse here Neets, but wha?
so barney and bubble and having one all mean the same thing. what exactly is that again?
Barney in liverpool stems from Barney Rubble rhyming slang for trouble, which has evolved to mean fight.

Having a barney is having an argument or fight. Barney Rubble = trouble, sort of thing. I have no idea what you are talking about. 'You're having one'. What exactly, is 'one' having?

How does 'having a bubble' mean scrapping?
Where's the relevance? 'Having one' in Liverpool could mean anything, a shag, a pill, a wank, a ciggie, loadsa stuff, not fight though.
You southerners are weird.
