"Hitman" Monicker fits for Ricky Hatton

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.
