Everyone has their opinion in the upcoming Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight but if it comes from the person directly connected to either of the two camps, other opinions hardly matters.

One reason is because that person who said something should do everything to back his claims.

Freddie Roach, the long-time trainer of Manny Pacquiao has said his guy will be the one to hand the undefeated American fighter his first loss.

Not just a loss, but a technical knockout. One thing that excites many people in the Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight, although a bit late, is the fact that these two are winningest in their ranks. Pressure is heavier on Pretty Boy though because of his clean track record.

"I think Manny will win by knockout," the future Hall of Fame member told the press. "I don't have a round but the thing is, we have to break him down first and I think in the later rounds, I believe Manny will knock him out."

Before that, Roach also revealed what will be the difference between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao in their upcoming fight.

"His (Pacquiao's) legs are his biggest strength because I feel like he can move a lot better than Floyd can," Roach said in an interview with ontheropesboxing.com.

"I think Mayweather's gonna have trouble with the side to side movement. I love being in this fight, I know we're in a must-win situation but the thing is, I'm very confident that we're gonna win this fight," he added.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight will take place on May 2 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, USA. It is projected to become the richest in history with the two fighters expected to earn a combined $300 million for the fight alone. They are also expected to rake in millions of dollars from the pay-per-view, ticket sales and sponsorships.
