It was the first time media men were allowed to get video clips of Ricky Hatton while on training in Manchester.

The British boxing superstar will be leaving for the US Sunday (Monday in Manila) and will resume his rigid workout there in preparation for the May 2 showdown with Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas.

Before flying for the US, the 30-year-old Hatton will be watching the non-title match between younger brother Matthew, and fellow Brit Ted Bami in Altrincham, England on Saturday.

With barely five weeks into the much-awaited fight, Hatton is not bothered about being overweight. He is 154 pounds as of Tuesday and he needs to shed off 14 pounds more.

"I'm a lot lot better. I'm taking shots moving the head, jabbing. I think the tape they've been watching, they've been watching the old Ricky Hatton. So they (Team Pacquiao) have to work," said Hatton.

Even Hatton's trainer, Floyd Mayweather, Sr. is confident that his ward can taper down to 140 pounds without a hitch. He added that he is amazed at how his ward is showing discipline and renewed strength.

"I think that Ricky has better skills. Ricky will be backing the Pacman up against the ropes or in the corner, he'll (Pacquiao) be having a lot of problems right there," said Mayweather, Sr.

Both Hatton and Mayweather, Sr. just laughed off earlier statements by Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach, who said that the Brit's chin will be Pacquiao's target. The Filipino's coach said the chin is Hatton's weakest link.

"Keep talking (laughs)," said Hatton.

"Anybody can play jokes with himself, you wanna fool yourself and try to fool the public? That's fine," said his coach.

Mayweather, Sr. believes Hatton will prevail in the end. He said that an aggressive but careful Hatton will face “the Pacman” come May 2.

"At the end of the day only one fighter will be standing and i know who it's gonna be. It's gonna ba the Hitman Hatton," he said.
