140 is Too Early For Pacquiao

He came, he fought, he will conquer!

The victory of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao over David Diaz for the WBC Lightweight crown had rocked and shocked the world. There goes the pound-for-pound king!

Will the Pacman go up to 140 and face Ricky "Hitman" Hatton or will he stay on 135 and face the bests in the lightweight division?

Bob Arum claimed that Manny Pacquiao will defend his new WBC Lightweight belt this year and will eye a possible Hatton fight next year. Well, how good would that be?

I think Pacquiao is not yet completely ready enough to move up weights, not yet. There are also a lot of great boxers in the lightweight division that he can face and beat! Pacman is already the best pound-for-pound fighter in the boxing world; he must prove that he could reign in the 135 division before taking a step up. The great body-puncher Hatton will be there and he might wait. The display of superb fighting against Diaz had surely gain some attention in the current division he is in; maybe some of the fighters in 130 will move up also to chase and face him. In the 135 class, there is Joan Guzman, Joel Casamayor and the "Galaxy Warrior" Nate Campbell whom Pacquiao can face and have a good and exciting fight. The knockout artist Edwin Valero from 130 might also go up just for the Pacman. Anything will go for Manny; he is a great boxer, a fighter, a warrior! Anything will happen but I think it's too early for him to enter the 140 division. Savor the victorious moment first Manny, you've done it and I believe you can do it again.

Congratulations!
