Pacquiao destroyed him in an astonishing display. He's also intelligent and has a wide variety of talents.
Yeah, it's the worldwide appeal of a then Division Two club who saw him elevated to the highest echelons of boxing.

We did take 900,000 to York away! But, in all seriousness, it was City who got him going. The momentum picked up after that.
Hatton isn't the very best in his field and never has been - but many insist he is. Perhaps they recognise that Mancunian trait of being successful but spectacularly imploding instead of quitting whilst you're ahead.

That's obviously a well thought out response where you've provided reason for your differing views. Keep it up.

Pacquiao was light welterweight when he beat Hatton within 2 rounds but this was a fair few years after he beat Tzyu. It certainly wasn't a comprehensive win, either. He just edged him on points and Tzyu's team had to throw the towel in.
I'm providing facts and stats to back up my radom bollocks. If people chat shit at me then I blank them. Never argue with an idiot because they've got more experience than you.
