Boxing: Time for Pacquiao to retire, says Hatton
Manny Pacquiao was brutally knocked out in Las Vegas over the weekend.
HONG KONG:
Former world champion Ricky Hatton said that Manny Pacquiao should retire from boxing, after he was brutally knocked out in Las Vegas over the weekend. “The only advice I could give Pacquiao is that his legacy is already secured,” said Hatton during a visit to Hong Kong where he is hoping to unearth Chinese boxing talent in his role as a promoter. “The thing with us fighters is that there’s always one more fight. What’s he (Pacquiao) going to achieve by having one more fight? He’s an eight-weight world champion. There’s nothing more to be said.”
