This content is protected Is Floyd Mayweather Afraid of Manny Pacquiao? Dont Idolize Him Then! By Benjie Varella Floyd Mayweather Jr. who wanted to be called the Money still talks trash on the current pound-for-pound king Manny Pacman Pacquiao. Floyd believes that he still is the king in boxing and that Manny Pacquiao is no match for him. The former pound-for-pound king also stressed that he needs to be called the Money since he brings the highest ticket and pay-per-view sales each time he is on the canvass.. But didnt Paquaio surpass his record when the Filipino superstar fought, retired and annihilated the Golden Boy Oscar Dela Hoya and British Ricky Hitman Hatton? Floyd who has an unblemished record which consists of 39 victories, no losses and 25Kos continuously boasts about his past opponents. The Money Floyd has to be respected when it comes to this matter. He has defeated many popular names in boxing. He simply outclassed the likes of Carlos Baldomir; Zab Judah; Arturo Gatti; Philip Ndou; Jose Luis Castillo; Jesus Chavez; Carlos Hernandez and Diego Corrales. Dela Hoya and Hatton were also victims of Floyd long before Pacquiao shamed these two former champs. In Pacquiaos resume, here are the names he crushed that rings-a-bell in boxing. They are David Diaz; Juan Manuel Marquez; Marco Antonio Barrera; Jorge Solis; Erik Morales; Oscar Larios; Agapito Sanchez; Lehlohonolo Ledwaba and Chatchai Sasakul. Pacquiao who is set to battle with Puerto Rican pride Miguel Cotto for a WBO title on November is eyeing to make a history to grab his seventh title. Going back to Floyd, since coming out of retirement and announcing his comeback fight on the day of Pacquiao-Hatton bout last May, he has maintained that he is still the number one boxer in the world and said that should he fight the Filipino superstar he has all the right to receive the higher paycheck. In the recent trash-talk saga of the Money in a popular magazine in the US, he showed no interest of fighting Pacquiao. He is confident that Hattons career was over and was never the same boxer since their outing almost two years ago. Floyd is implying that a fight against Pacquiao is really not needed since Dela Hoya and Hatton who was also beaten by the Filipino were just old bones who was picked by the latter to have the popularity he now is gaining. But the Money probably is forgetting something. He defeated Dela Hoya via unanimous decision while Pacqiao made the Golden Boy retire from the boxing match and even from the sports. He did beat and gave Hatton his first taste of defeat in boxing after knocking out the Brit in 10 rounds but Pacquiao annihilated the Hitman in the 2nd round of their match. To settle the issue who amongst the two should be considered the best pound-for-pound, should they come out victorious against their respective foes, Juan Manuel Marquez for Floyd and Miguel Cotto for Pacquiao, why not find that out inside the boxing ring and not through word war. Pacquiao have already released a statement that he is ready to face the Money after Cotto but the latter seem to be showing no interest for this match to happen. Then whats with the endless trash-talking Floyd? It would be better to use the fists to whip opponents and not the mouth. Floyds legacy could be cemented as the greatest pound-for-pound king should he accept the challenge and come out victorious over the Filipino superstar. But if he would choose to ignore the challenge of Pacquiao and continue the nonstop trash-talking, then what kind of legacy would the Money leave the boxing fans? Probably in the garbage bin where all trash belong. By the way, could it be true that Floyd is afraid of Pacquiao because he knows that the Filipino superstar is capable of putting dirt on his record? Some colleagues were even cracking up jokes pointing out that it is Floyd who is idolizing Pacquiao and its not the other way around. One speculated that Mayweathers camp is now studying the fighting style of Paqcuiao so that they can use this as a weapon against Marquez on September. Well I must agree, Mayweathers idol could be Pacquiao. I concluded, its not only the fighting style that he is trying to imitate but even the name of the Filipino superstar. Its Money Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao! Hmmm, Money Vs Manny, it sounds the same, right?
Deep down inside, I don't think FMJ is afraid of Pac. IMO, Pac is the reason why he came out of retirement. He knows that fighting Pac will earn him the biggest money of his carreer. For the record, I'm picking my main man Pac to beat FMJ.
Biased writing like this is just annoying. The guy clearly hates Mayweather. Although Mayweather does talk alot of nonsense he has been in the ring with some destructive fighters in the past and does not strike me as a fighter who is truly afraid of anyone.
everyone should disdain pussyweather for ducking Pacquiao, by far the biggest most tantalizing fight in boxing. floyd shames his whole career if he pusses out and ducks Pacquiao. and judging by his recent words and actions, we know the little chicken is going to avoid Pacquiao. fraud is just a disgrace to the sport for how he always finds a way to avoid fighting the best.
Now that's another bull****. I don't see how PBF can be afraid of Pacquiao considering that Pac is coming in from the lower weigh class. Maybe the right word is insecure because Pac is now holding the position PBF use to have. All these blah blah blah regarding the proposed fight between the two are just efforts by both camps to out position each other on the incoming negotiation.
Grow Up and Get Of Floyd's dick for a minute When has he ducked Pacquaio.Between the two of them he has been makin more noise about fightin Pacquaio than vice versa.
No. It's not about gaining leverage or positioning. floyd is flat out going to duck Pacquiao, he is already in the process of laying the groundwork for the duck of all ducks. We have seen how he does it with Margarito, Cotto, Mosley. He is dead serious and will not fight Pacquiao, 100% guaranteed. floyd knows Pacquiao has what it takes to leave him bloody and unconscious - and floyd will never put himself in a position where that can happen.
Never bet against Pretty Boy Floyd. He knows who he can beat and who he can't beat. If he takes a fight, you can be sure he'll win it. He retired when it was becoming obvious he was ducking Margarito. As soon as Margo was beaten and banned from boxing, Floyd came back. Now he's picking on Marquez and Pacman, because he knows their style is no match for him.
Pretty Bias article, If anything Mannys copying Floyd.. - fights Oscar after Floyd. - fights Hatton after Floyd. - Roach has an obsession with beating Floyd, its why Pacs footwork and skills have improved out of sight, its all in a long term view of defeating Money. I have a lot of respect for Pac, in that he is fighting Cotto - because its uncharted territory, in that Floyd hasnt already been there, although, there could be a legitimate case to say that Cotto is already damaged goods, which brings me to think that maybe Roach doesnt copy PBF - but does look for potentially shot fighters, either way, when Floyd fought Hatton and Oscar - they were far from shot. I just wish Mosely was a bit younger so he could demolish the lot of them.
Are u joking? LOL. All Floyd has done is try to discredit Pac's accomplishments, and make excuses why he wont fight him. -He's not his own boss -I dont have to chase him -Arum is greedy and 50/50 will never happen -He was outboxed by Eric Morales -He was knocked out like 10yrs ago -He's not on my level -He's been beat before and I havent -He beat my leftovers -etc......
