Conor, an easy target for Pacman – Freddie Roach

“If this is true, @MannyPacquiao will have an easier time with you @TheNotoriousMMA (McGregor’s Twitter account) than when he fought @HitmanHatton (Hatton’s account),” Roach said in response to McGregor’s tweet about a possible confrontation with Pacquiao. . .

It should be remembered that Pacquiao only needed two rounds to beat Hatton, who was sent to the canvas three times during the fight held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao dropped him twice in the first bell before chilling Hatton in the next round with a left hook to the chin.

That third knockdown was so devastating that referee Kenny Bayless didn’t hesitate to stop the fight at 2:59.

The loss had psychological effects on Hatton, who did not return to the ring for a time until his return in November 2012 for a final fight in his hometown of Manchester.

McGregor is considering a second in-ring appearance, his first ending with a 10-round TKO loss to undefeated Floyd Mayweather in a fight that generated $ 55 million in gate attendance, 4.4 million purchases in the United States and over a million in the UK.

That’s something Pacquiao and McGregor hope at least the same, even if Roach sees his longtime student winning one-sided.
