    Pacquiao v De La Hoya caused a ceasefire between the government and the rebels in the Phillipines!!! Thats recognition!

    Duran is pretty huge in Panama also.

    Benn (legend that he is) could walk down the street in the UK and would not be recognized by 98% of people. Khan is similar. Neither have the kind of face reognition or celebrity status as Hatton.

    Tito is a legend and a warrior, and he showed a lot more heart than Mayweather ever has.

    Maybe if Mayweather took more risks and the judges saw the first Castillo fight as I did Money May might not have that "0":deal
