For the current pound for pound king Manny Paquiao trainer, Freddie Roach, the "Hitman" moniker of British slugger Ricky Hatton fits him, but not in its usual connotation. According to the Hall of Fame boxing trainer, the Hitman tag is an accurate name for Ricky because when the two boxer will clash on May 2, Hatton is going to get hit, man, and a lot, the trainer added. Pacquiao, the current world’s best pound for pound fighter after Floyd Mayweather Jr. declare his retirement last December 2007, and Ricky Hatton, the current IBO champion, will dispute the Briton’s International Boxing Organization light welterweight crown on May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Roach is convinced that, the pound for pound king, Pacquiao will stop the Manchester City’s favorite son that Freddie Roach said in his previous interview that he was willing to bet his house for a knockout victory of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. Roach said, that he talk tp Paquiao that he would be disappointed if the fight lasts longer than three rounds, aside from that, Roach believes that his rival trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr., will fail in his attempt to alter Hatton’s brawling style during fight night on May 2.
The current IBO light welterweight Champion Ricky Hatton is banking on his strength and slight height advantage to help him knock out the current pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao early in their mouthwatering light-welterweight title clash in Las Vegas on May 2. The 5 foot 7 inch Briton Champion, who has never lost at his natural weight of 140 pounds, is one inch taller than former four weight world champion Manny Pacquiao.
Hatton said, the fight woudnt go the distance because he will use his advantage during a teleconference call on Tuesday. Manny goes for the knockout, I go for the knockout too. It’ll be an absolute war for both of us. Manny is not the most elusive guy and when he gets hit, he will be hit by the strongest man he has ever been face in the ring. I’ve never been more confident. Manny has not fought anybody as fiery, as ferocious and certainly as big and strong like Hatton. Ricky Hatton is a handful. Hatton (45-1, 32 KOs) will defend his IBO title against Pacquiao, 48-3-2 (36 KOs), who is widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
