MANILA, Philippines – Ricky Hatton trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. issued a stern warning that Manny Pacquiao would go down in their May 2 fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
“I am going to be honest with you. I think Ricky has a very, very good chance of knocking Pacquiao out," Mayweather said.
Aside from the world’s best-pound-for-pound title, Hatton’s IBO lightwelterweight crown is also at stake in the fight dubbed “The Battle of East and West".
"Everything is mapped out. I think a knockout is going to be more likely than anything. Ricky's chances are very great at that," said Mayweather Sr., who believes Hatton will be boxing’s new pound-for-pound king.
Mayweather Sr., who helped improved Hatton’s technique, said he was confident Pacquiao would struggle against his wards’ power and ability to match the Filipino boxing icon’s skills in the ring.
He added that he was impressed with Hatton’s speed when they opened training camp on Friday in Manchester.
