Muhammad Ali's daughter Rasheda spoke to TMZ Sports today about her father's feelings on the most hotly anticipated fight of the decade.

Unsurprisingly, given Ali's political nature, the old man prefers the liberal Fillipino congressman and charitable activist to the man who goes by the nickname 'money' and has a history of domestic violence.

My dad is Team Pacquiao all the way! My dad really likes Manny. He’s a huge fan of his.

He knows Manny’s a great fighter but it’s more about what he does outside the ring. He’s such a charitable person.

Ali has been a friend of Pacquiao for many years and the latter attended Ali's 70th birthday a couple of years ago. Rasheda also hinted that the cut of Mayweather's gib didn't appeal to her old Dad.

My dad stood for things. Mayweather … I don’t think there’s a comparison.
