Ricky Hatton's sparring partner Rock Allen has warned Floyd Mayweather Jr. he will not get a moment's rest at Undefeated.

Allen, 26, has been charged with imitating Mayweather's elusive style in Hatton's training camp.

The 2002 Golden Gloves light-welterweight champion has endured hours of ring-time with the Mancunian fighter.

And the 2004 Olympic team member has now backed the underdog to end the five-weight champion's magnificent unbeaten record.

Non-stop

Allen said."Ricky's a tough fighter who you can hit but you can't hurt and whose pace seems to increase as the rounds go on.

"Most fighters start to slacken off the second half of their fights but Ricky gets quicker.

"That's bad news for Floyd. I just don't think he has the same kind of endurance. He often takes breaks in his fights and uses his legs to stay away from the action and he can't do that against Hatton.

"Ricky is very explosive and he'll be in Mayweather's face for the full 12 rounds. I think it's going to be a very interesting fight, and I honestly believe Ricky's endurance can see him through."
