If Freddy Roach will be ask or decide, Who among Floyd Mayweather or Ricky Hatton will they choose to fight, Freddy says:
Hatton is the best fighter out there for us right now, money wise, style wise. He is a hard guy. He likes to fight It would be a very interesting fight. I think, the world would love to see that and Manny has been always wants to give the world what they want... A lot depends on what makes sense. The economy is bad right now and we cant wait too long because I want to see Manny fight Hatton and Mayweather and retire the greatest fighter of all time. Feddy discussed..

Manny Pacquiao's WIN - One of the Most Stunning Upset in BOXING history

With all so the so called boxing's best analyst, the surprised came in just at the start of the round 2... Manny Pacquiao dictated and given a hint for what he is about to do at the end of 8 rounds of pure domination boxing fans have ever witnessed. "Manny Pacquiao is INHUMAN" does a well known boxing forum commentator said... He added: "I am a big fan of Floyd Mayweather and I expected Oscar to knockout Manny Pacquiao within 5 rounds. I thought this fight is a mismatch due to Oscar De la Hoya's reach and height advantage... I had been watching Oscar and Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight... And I have never seen anyone dominated the fight, whats surprising is this little guy ( Manny Pacquiao ) had started as a pro at 106 and had won against a legit boxer at Welterweight division... I think Manny Pacquiao surpasses Floyd Mayweather's achievement by winning this fight ( The Dream Match )..."

Oscar enters the ring as a heavy favorite, and almost all boxing analyst had thought the fight is going to be a mismatch.. They all have thought Oscar's height and strength plays big role, plus Oscar De la Hoya is an intelligent fighter. He is a scientific type of a boxer. No one wanted to predict a win for Manny Pacquiao... Even boxers like Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr, Juan Manuel Marquez, etc, had all predicted a KO win for Oscar... Except one... Edwin Valero, Valero had predicted a KO win for Manny Pacquiao. He is one who knows better.

While every body thought Oscar will win, asking Oscar if he surprised: "He's a great fighter. I'm not shocked because at this stage when you face someone like Pacquiao you know you're going to have a fight."
Nacho seems to be more surprised of what he had seen. He said: "Oscar was in good condition but he couldn't control Manny's southpaw stance or style." I had stoped the fight because I dont want his ( Oscar De la Hoya ) greatness inside the ring.

With the fight already done... Boxing fans were now up to making another sounds...
Who is next for Manny Pacquiao? Boxing fans around the PPV community were building somewhat a "Fantasy Boxing Matches" for Pacquiao... People were suggesting names such as:
Ricky Hatton
Miguel Cotto
Antonio Margarito
