It's just that it was a big event for many people
pacquiao hatton was nominated for best play of the year by espn... Didn't win but it was still unusual and nice to see on the list
Fight of the year 2009 SO FAR is Diaz vs Marquez....we boxing fans all know that
but im really hopin pacquiao vs cotto turns into an all out war so then that could be fight of the year instead

Pac fans any one? :biggthump
In it's own right, it's a fight of the year. It was a no contest to be honest.
I picked Pacquiao to beat Hatton in 5, so it was no real upset for me. Although the way Manny Mopped Hatton for a round and a half was a bit unexpected. I cheered like a mother freckle when DOWN WENT HATTON! lol
Who am I to dictate what the public deems as fight of the year. But Pacquaio/Hatton deserves an honorable mention. The year is still young.
