Amir Khan reckons Ricky Hatton’s superfight with Manny Pacquiao is just too close to call.
The two ring legends are set to go face-to-face on May 2 in Las Vegas, live on Sky Box Office, and the Olympic silver medallist is relishing the prospect of being ringside at the MGM Grand.
He told Sky Sports News: “It is going to be fun because Manny Pacquiao has got the speed and explosiveness and so has Ricky Hatton – he is very explosive as well.
“I don’t think Manny Pacquiao has been hit in the body by a good body puncher like Ricky Hatton. I think once Ricky Hatton puts the pressure on with those body shots and those bombs on the body… you don’t know.
“And the pressure, can Manny Pacquiao handlle the pressure or can Ricky Hatton handle the speed of Manny Pacquiao?”
All of which makes the Bolton lightweight see the fight as very much an even contest.
He added: “It is a 50-50 fight because both fighters are at the top of their game, they have had good, good wins in their previous fights. It is a 50-50 fight and I am just going to go there and enjoy the night.”
