Its Over : Pacquiao destroys Hatton
Sports — By trench on May 2, 2009 at 9:34 pm | 155 VisitorsOne of the most anticipated fights of the year, became one of the most lopsided victories for Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao with a dominating performance against Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Nevada. With a little under two rounds Pacquiao was able to defeat Hatton with a devastating left hook which left Hatton on the canvas for several minutes.
To be honest with everyone, there really is nothing Pacquiao cannot do. Hatton came in as the aggressor and left as the loser with Pacquiao picking his shots and landing his punches at will. After Hatton went down in the first, you could see that Pacquiao smelt blood.
I hope Floyd Mayweather Jr. is ready to bang because we all have witnessed who many already consider the greatest pound for pound fighter of his time, just rip through what many thought would be he toughest opponent yet. Is Manny Pacquiao the greatest boxer the world has ever seen? I guess only time will tell. One thing I do know is, the fans everywhere are going nuts rights now and President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo should consider making May 3rd a new holiday! haha.

Hatton was no match. I was a bit nervous considering Pacquiao loves to slug it out and take unnecessary punishment in the process, but he’s a totally different fighter now. Pacquiao would destroy Mayweather if they meet.
Pacquiao was too quick for Hatton IMO. Mayweather would not be able to put his hands down for a second if he fought Pacman. I’d love to see the self proclaimed “greatest pound for pound” fighter in the world showboat against the PAC!
there’s no doubt that pacquiao’s the best fighter right now in his weight class. i’m filipino, i’m proud of him.
i think though his biggest fight one day will be from all the vultures waiting to tap into his MONEY.
