Roach has faith in his man.
ROACH TARGETS QUICKFIRE VICTORY
Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach will be "very disappointed" if his charge doesn't win his superfight with Ricky Hatton inside three rounds.
'Pacman' and 'Hitman' square up on May 2 in Las Vegas with the title of the world's best pound-for-pound fighter at stake.
And Roach has no doubts his man will emerge victorious, taking a swipe at Hatton's trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr in the process.
He said: "I told Manny I would be very disappointed in him if he didn't have Hatton stopped by the end of the third round.
"A lot of people ask me if I'm worried about Manny fighting Hatton since Hatton has never lost a fight at 140 pounds.
"As long as Floyd Mayweather is in Hatton's corner I have absolutely no concerns. It's not like his brother Roger is training him. Floyd training Hatton for this fight is our biggest advantage."
Roach also believes Hatton is "not fundamentally sounds as a fighter" because he keeps his chin up.
He added: "He is the perfect opponent for Manny.
"You're going to hear a lot of glass breaking when Manny starts playing his chin music concerto on Hatton.
"You're going to see who has the chops to play this masterpiece on May 2."
