My vote will have to go with "The Hitman." Beating "The Hitman" would enable Pacquiao to ponder more points. And if it happens that he beats "The Hitman," he would also prove that he is a better fighter than the former "pound for pound" boxer, Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Having said of that, this fight, for me, would be an entertaining fight. Both fighters have similarities in the way they fight in the ring. Both fighters would try to go in and exchange punches with each other.

This would somehow be one of the biggest challenge for both fighters. Hatton would have a hard time to truckle Pacquiao into his game plan. And he would have a problem with Pacquiao's speed and power, which seem to faze other boxers.

But considering Hatton's advantage in fighting with these weight divisions, Pacquiao would have a problem with Hatton's powerful punches and his experience. And it could somehow turn into a "Bugbear" for Pacquiao.

But it's for sure that this bout would enrapture people not only in the Philippines and in England, but also people around the world. This bout would be an interesting one, for both fighter's seem to have no major disadvantages. But if it happens that this fight would be real, it would be what we people call the "Perfect Combination."
