    “Freddie Roach has said a few things that have upset me and my trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr; like Manny Pacquiao is going to knock me out in three rounds. Floyd was nothing short of disgusted by that. It got his back up a bit. This fight is about getting the tactics right and about who is the better trainer. I don’t want to be disrespectful to Freddie Roach, but it is clear from my last fight when I defeated Paulie Malignaggi that I made the right choice in picking Floyd." - Ricky Hatton, March 2009

    Or it sounds like Freddie's mind games are already getting through Hatton's guard.

    Please, I really dont think that Freddys mind games are doing ****, I think he is trying but failing at the same time, Hatton is going to smash Pacquiao bank on that.

    I don't think Ricky Hatton did himself justice with that comment. I believe Hatton will win, not because he is a superior fighter to Manny, but because he is the naturally bigger man. It is sometimes overlooked at just how untested Pacquiao is outside the 130lb division. Juan has fought two of the best Lightweights in the world in his two fighters outside of the Super Featherweight division, and he passed the test with flying colours. Manny fought David Diaz, who nobody would describe as a great fighter and one with a style tailor made for Manny, and then Oscar, who in my opinion, was totally ****ed at the weight.

    This fight will be the first time we see Manny outside of 130lb with a still great, perfectly healthy, naturally bigger fighter. If he beats Hatton, he really is something truly special.

    Well quite obivously it is if he's saying exactly that Mayweather Snr and himself are "upset" by what Freddy is saying.

    I'm going to bank on a tough fight for both men.
