Manny Pacquiao could have his pick of huge fights
Now that Manny Pacquiao has emphatically reestablished himself as the best fighter in boxing following his eighth-round destruction of Oscar De La Hoya last week in Las Vegas, it's time to look at what the future holds for the Philippines' incredible "Pac-Man."
Pac-Man's hit list
# Ricky Hatton: The only question surrounding this fight appears to be whether it will be in Hatton's native England or the U.S. For boxing's sake, it should be in the U.K., because the scene would be bedlam. The fight itself would be interesting as well. Hatton is smaller and quicker than De La Hoya, and his aggressive, bullish style would likely mesh well with Pac-Man's. Pacquiao would be the favorite, but it wouldn't be nearly as easy as the Oscar drumming. Still, it would be hard to bet against Pac-Man. Odds: Pacquiao, 7-5; Matt's pick: Pacquiao TKO 11.
