In perhaps the greatest non-surprise in recent boxing history, Manny Pacquiao put Britain’s Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton to the floor permanently in the second round to claim the IBO light-welterweight title at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The 30 year old Pacquiao had Hatton down twice in the first round and finished off Hatton with a big left hand to the head that sent him down for the count in the second.
Pacquiao now waits to take on the winner of July’s Mayweather-Marquez showdown. Of the two, the tougher test would come from Mayweather.
Here’s the Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton video:

I hope filipino's still love manny when floyd beats him next year. there is no way floyd gets hit with those punches. the nature of fm's game takes a lot of manny's aggession away. it will be a good fight though.

You can say all you want how Manny wont win. Just pray he dont kill your fighter like he almost did Hatton. Also forget about his 7 World Titles that only Delahoya ever achieve and he pummeled him like he was a rag doll. Forget about the last 3 fights he didnt even get even a scratch on his face all against champions. Dont forget also all his training partners are undefeated fighters and world champions that he just KO's regularly. Yea he is a good fighter but then your fighter must be a Ok fighter or in Hatton's case a sucky fighter!!! Hehehehe Speed, Accuracy, Defense Kills!!!!!! Long Live Pound for Pound King!!!!!

And believe me any fighter fights Manny he will hit them over 50% of the time. Dont forget He throws over a 1000 in 12 rounds. So prepare your face & body for a beating!!!! Everybody get hit by Manny EVERYBODY. When he goes up in weight he only gets stronger. Muscle weighs more and his opponents get SLOWER!!!! Hatton couldnt even hit him 10% of the time. Only fighter I saw KO someone and same time feint a punch!!! THATS BLINDING SPEED BABY!!!!! Floyd is stupid to pick Marquez. He might not get passed him and then you'll see Pac vs Marques 3.

The power showed in first round when he knocked Hatton down the second time, the punch went through Hatton's Glove. He blocked it, but the power and the force knocked him down. Manny Little Mike Tyson!
FLOYED JR will do what he always does. Jab and run. There are no memorable fights by him and he will be easily forgotten in the boxing world once he is gone. Most people did not even know he retired, because its not that big of deal. He is a good fighter, but not memorable for boxing and battles that are great. Pacquiao will need his running shoes on for that fight. But you can't count out Marquez, He is a fighter, and will have something to prove, but be sured one thing….Floyd will not stand and exchange!
