NOTHING but a cakewalk.
That's the firm prediction of legendary coach Freddie Roach on the news of a potential match between Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor.
Reacting to the Irish mixed martial arts fighter's tweet which teased the mega-fight, Pacquiao's longtime trainer was crude on his assessment and believed that the Filipino pug will hardly break a sweat in the bout.
"If this is true, @MannyPacquiao will have an easier time with you @TheNotoriousMMA than when he fought @HitmanHatton," he tweeted.
Roach, of course, was referring to Ricky Hatton who Pacquiao knocked out cold with a killer left hook in the second round of their match back in May 2009.
The victory grew Pacquiao's legend in the boxing world and further cemented his place among the world's best boxers.
Pacquiao's camp has since confirmed talks of a possible fight against the former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion, with the match rumored to be held in the Middle East.
If this pushes through, this will be McGregor's second boxing match after facing Floyd Mayweather Jr. back in August 2017.
The mega-match stretched up to the 10th round before referee Robert Byrd waved the fight off and gave Mayweather the technical knockout victory.
