RICKY HATTON will get the chance to fight Manny Pacquiao next year. Filipino superstar Pacquiao is rated boxing?s best pound-for-pound bruiser after destroying Oscar De La Hoya in eight rounds on Saturday.
And Todd DuBoef, president of Pac Man?s American promoters Top Rank, is eyeing a showdown with Hitman Hatton.
DuBoef said: ?It?s such a big fight and it would be such a landmark for the sport, a guy from a third-world island in Asia fighting a hero from the UK.?
