Hatton continues to taunt Pacquiao

Ricky Hatton's war of words against Manny Pacquiao is continuing ahead of their bout next month.The Hitman played down the Filipino's recent victory over Oscar De La Hoya, stating that the latter was far from at his best.Hatton defends his IBO light-welterweight title against Pacquiao in Las Vegas on Saturday May 2nd and is the outsider for the fight.And although the challenger's speed is considered an advantage, the Briton warned that this aspect of his boxing is improving and power is likely to be the deciding factor."He has dangers in other areas, like his speed and footwork, but I'm boxing a lot cuter than I was a few years ago," said Hatton, who is currently rated at 6/4 in the online boxing betting market.Punters can get odds of 15/8 with Boyle Sports, while Pacquiao's widely-regarded status as the world's best pound-for-pound fighter means he is priced 8/15 by William Hill.
