Hatton – Pacquiao Legacy

    Whenever you search for the Hatton- Pacquiao match, the internet is flooded with posts from all over the world.  Not only do you see a flooding of posts, you can actually see flooding of comments to those posts. It’s interesting how people can react over things. The Pacquiao camp says he is the greatest fighter.  I’m not sure about that. I mean, I don’t have all the information for me to confirm that but he is definitely a great fighter. I know for sure, he is the best Filipino fighter ever lived.

    Ricky Hatton’s supporters said before the fight, “ There is only one Ricky Hatton”. I couldn’t agree more but one Pacquiao supporter joked, maybe Hatton actually felt there were two Pacquiao’s during the fight. Now, that’s really funny.

    What really interested me is a  Pacquiao supporter saying that Hatton and Pacquiao already has a boxing legacy forever. How, you might ask? Their May 2 bout can now be considered one of the boxing knockout classics with Hatton being a title holder and knocked out in two rounds. I’m not sure if many people would agree to this but I think a good point is raised here.
