    ”I’m going to be honest with you man, watching him against Cotto, I don’t even think he is a good fighter no more. You know what I took away from the Cotto fight? Pacquiao can’t fight at all man. That man don’t move his head…when Cotto still had his wits and was ducking underneath and moving his head, Pacquiao couldn’t touch him. Pacquiao couldn’t hit me if I was asleep. He is strong and fast, but that man can’t fight for ****, man…

    I’m going to tell you exactly what I saw out of Pacquiao. He throws the same combination… Right hook, right hook and drop a left hand behind it. That's it!

    Lil Floyd is miles ahead of Pacquiao in the skills department! If they make that fight, Lil Floyd got something for him”.

    -Floyd Mayweather Sr.

    Also ahead in the ducking department, shoulder rolled to avoid every elite welterweight.

    "Let me tell you something, man. Freddie Roach hasnt taught Pacquiao ****! That man still don't move his damn head and he still drops his hands after he throws combinations. He can try that superman **** of putting his hands in the air if he wants to; he would be flying alright, I'm telling you!"

    Floyd Sr.

    Iwould think Floyd Sr. would have learned to watch what he says after this video was made.

    The guy is hard to understand. He makes no sense at all.

    The sad thing is that Floyd never got it. They were practicing that move right in front of the HBO camera for everyone to see and Floyd didn't even pick up on it. He actually criticized Roach for even teaching Manny that move. What as the word he said in that inaudible sentence "armature."

    Got to hand it to Roach he has a nack for getting in the head of the other fighters trainer. He really knows how to throw them off their game.

    Err.. Old man does have a point.. The thing is, Pac has been one dimensional in the past.. Before it was with the simple one two.. So fast and powerful, that was all he really needed.. Eric Morales took him to school because of it.. Next time they fought, Pac picked up the right hook, and used it to his advantage ever since.. Pac, has gotten away with an somewhat limited array of offense, but that small array is robust, because he understands timing, has the ability to close the distance..

    Some of the same can be said for Floyd, who can dominate a fight with his pop right cross.. The point Floyd Sr. Makes is moot because of this..

    Thing is, as a southpaw, Manny is open to the right cross, and that happens to be Floyds favorite punch.

    Amazing comments from a guy who sounds like he had never watched a southpaw box(I guess he has seen a few lol)! The southpaw Technique is very simple but most righties never learn to handle it.

    If Pacman can't fight worth a crap then why is he telling his son to avoid fighting Pacquaio. Heck if Pac is that bad then he should be an easy win then. Floyd sr. needs to stop smoking that crack and instead take some meds for his chronic coughing. Prolly got that from sucking too many dicks for crack.

    It had a lot to do with Floyd. How in the world do you see the move that caused that first knockdown of the fight being practiced over and over again by team Pacquiao and it never even ****ing occurs to you that there might something your fighter does that makes him vulnarable to it. Thats ****ing bushleague incompotence.

    Wow...he thinks Pacquiao isn't a good fighter anymore after he watched the Cotto fight? Unbelievable. That statement alone show throws any credibility he has right out the window.
