'No point' in Pacman sparring with Khan

Ricky Hatton has insisted that he is not worried about the fact that Manny Pacquiao is preparing for their fight by sparring with Amir Khan.Pacquiao, regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, is hoping Hatton's fellow Lancastrian can help give him an edge ahead of their May 2nd bout in Las Vegas.But Hatton argued that the Filipino will not gain an advantage because of his very different technique."Amir is so far away from me as far as styles go that I don't see the point," he said, explaining that he will be relying on pressure and body punches.However, he acknowledged that Khan, 22, is taking the opportunity to further his own career and that he does not bear a grudge against the youngster for it.Hatton is currently the outsider for his showdown with Pacquiao, Boyle Sports offering punters the best odds of 18/5, while William Hill prices the man known as Pacman at 8/15.
