A world champion must speak and carry himself like one. Manny Pacquiao is one fight away from being boxing’s only current true world champion. I am still lost for words to describe his knockout of Ricky Hatton. It was, apart from Tyson’s KO of Michael Spinks and Sugar Ray’s marathon win over Marvin Hagler the best boxing match I have seen ‘live’.
The problem is Manny’s humility. When he opened his mouth to speak it was with the demeanour of a Filipino waiter. I greatly value humility, but for world champs, surely, a little after-match swagger is a must.
