Marvin Hagler has claimed that Floyd Mayweather will not be able to handle defeat against Manny Pacquiao.
Hagler, whose career-defining victory came against Thomas Herans 30 years ago, reveals that Mayweather is afraid of losing his unbeaten record.
Mayweather will move to within one win of Rocky Marciano’s 49-0 career record, if he is able to beat Pacquiao in next’s month big clash.
“I think Floyd is a person that don’t want to lose,” Hagler told Sky Sports News HQ. “I think he’s going to be relying on his skills and everything to try to maintain that unbeaten streak.
“Marciano was a very tough warrior. he didn’t have size but he had power. Floyd Mayweather has another type of gift – he’s able to use his hand speed and he’s very intelligent. That’s something that could work in his advantage.
“He has to continue to win because I don’t know if he can accept defeat yet.”
