Lovemore Ndou was one of Floyd Mayweather's sparring partners when the Grand Rapids native was preparing for his December 2007 fight against Ricky Hatton.
Mayweather knocked out Hatton in the 10th round and then had a 22-month break before defeating Juan Manuel Marquez in September.
Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto will fight Nov. 14 in Las Vegas, with the winner presumably in line to fight Mayweather.
If it's Pacquiao, Ndou said Mayweather won't have a problem.
“Mayweather will win with one hand behind his back," Ndou told David Isaacson of Times Live while training in east Johannesburg.
Ndou, who's preparing for a Nov. 13 fight against Matthew Hatton, also likes Cotto to beat Pacquiao.
“I fought Cotto (in 2004) -- he’s a strong, smart fighter," Ndou said. "I don’t think it will be easy, but if I had to bet, I’d put my money on Cotto.”
