However, when we talk about legacy, I get the feeling there’s an air of Hype behind Pacquiao fighting up in the nose-bleeds, I mean he pummelled the hittable and mediocre Diaz then went on to beat Dela Hoya in such convincing fashion that we all had no option but believe Pacquiao belonged in the higher weight classes.

If he loses to Hatton, the accolade received for beating Diaz and Dela Hoya looks tainted and disappears as does his P4P No.1 ranking. All that will be left is a void where a huge Arum fuelled Hype Machine once roamed.

A Hype Job Gone Wrong.
Are you saying Pacquiao is a hype job? Or Pacquiao fighting in the higher weight classes a hype job?
