Roger Mayweather: What I see Pacquiao do pretty much is a wild amateur!

From ON the Ropes interview

Regarding Pacquiao’s statement on the previous week’s show that he views himself as a natural 140 pound boxer:

“Well if he’s 140 pounds that’s why he’s making De La Hoya make 143 or 144 pounds. What does Shane Mosley have to make? I heard Shane Mosley gets to make 147. That’s the weight they’re going to fight, but that ain’t the weight they’re going to be because it’s going to be a catch weight. I mean sh*t. He don’t fight nothing but with people at catch weights.”

His views if Pacquiao really did fight Mosley at the 147 pound limit:

“He ain’t going to fight him at 147. I already know that. It may say 147. De La Hoya he fought at 147 but really De La Hoya fought at 144. The same thing with Ricky Hatton, there is not one of those guys that he beat that he legitimately beat at 147.”

Regarding the fact that Pacquiao’s victory over Ricky Hatton was in fact for the Ring Magazine 140 pound title:

“Like I said, he ain’t fought any one of those guys at welterweight, period! He fought nobody at welterweight! He fought them at a catch weight. Margarito had been laid off so long he fought Margarito.”

On whether he as a trainer sees any weaknesses in Manny Pacquiao’s game:

“Pacquiao really don’t got no boxing skills, period! What I see Pacquiao do is pretty much like a wild amateur fighter! Basically he ain’t got no real boxing skills. I mean not from what I know about boxing. What I see, I know what I see. Most people think because a guy whops somebody that he’s got skills. That don’t mean he got skills. He’s whopping guys basically because as far as I see he’s wild. He’s just wild. That’s all he is.”

His views on what his nephews biggest asset would be going into the ring against Pacquiao:

“Well first thing is I’m going to say this. First off him and Floyd ain’t never going to fight because he ain’t never going to take a test. He don’t want to get that ass whopping, because if he fought my nephew naturally and he took that test he’s going to get his ass whopped! He’s going to get knocked out! Here’s a guy who’s been knocked out at 105 pounds. Are you going to tell me now he’s beating guys at 150 pounds? Come on! Please! Everybody knows he’s got the sh*t in him. That’s why he don’t never take the test!”

His views on his nephew’s biggest advantage if Pacquiao did take the test and they did fight:

“Skills! Floyd got too much skill for him, period! And he’s too small. I’m not talking about the guys that he beat! I’m not talking about the guys that he beat, because he beat them illegally anyway. He ain’t beat nobody without taking that sh*t. He ain’t beat nobody, period! So fighters talk about De La Hoya and all them dudes he beat, he’s on that sh*t! That’s why! If he wants to fight my nephew listen! All he’s got to do is take the test and we can get the fight together. That’s why the fight never happened! Oh I can’t get shot with a needle! If you can’t get shot with a needle then how you going to fight then? How is somebody going to take your blood then if you don’t get shot with a needle? Does that make sense to you? You’re talking about a guy getting $50-60-70 million and you don’t want to take a blood test? Something got to be wrong! Why won’t you take a test? If you don’t take a test that means you never took a test!”

His views on the court case that Pacquiao has against his nephew due to steroid accusations:

“I ain’t going to say nothing about that court case sh*t! The bottom line is he ain’t taken the test has he? He must have something in him! He don’t want to take a test. Him and Floyd never fought and the only reason they never fought is because he didn’t take a test. He said he can’t get shot with needles! Now do you know any fighter in boxing that don’t take no test? That doesn’t want to take no blood test?”

On when he expects to see his nephew back inside the ring:

“Well I figure he should be back in the ring this year. He should be back in the ring this year fighting. I don’t know about him fighting Pacquiao but I know he should be back in that ring this year. I think if he doesn’t go back in the ring this year then he probably isn’t going to fight at all, but I believe he’s going to fight.”

Whether he would be interested in seeing a fight between his nephew and Miguel Cotto:

“Cotto don’t mean nothing. Cotto already got his ass whopped! He got whopped by Pacquiao! Ricky Hatton got whopped by Pacquiao! De La Hoya got whopped by Pacquiao! It’s because Pacquiao’s got all that sh*t in him! That’s why! That’s the only reason why he whopped them. Whopping Cotto’s ass don’t mean nothing for Floyd. Floyd would whop Cotto. He ain’t going to have that sh*t. He’s going to take the test. He ain’t going to cry about no needle.”

Regarding what he wants to say to all the fans and all of the listeners of “On the Ropes Boxing Radio”:

“Well what I want to let the fans know is people are always asking about Floyd fighting Pacquiao. For those that don’t know I’m going to clue you in on something and you’re going to be able to understand what I’m telling you to this day. Any time a guy is supposed to be a fighter, all fighters—all fighters, not Floyd, not Pacquiao, not De La Hoya, not Sugar Ray Leonard. All fighters take tests, blood tests, urine tests, and a physical. All fighters take that. The reason why they take that test is to make sure, number one, you are healthy. Number two, that you ain’t got nothing illegally in your body so that when you fight somebody you ain’t got nothing illegal in you. To most people they think why don’t Floyd fight Pacquiao? Oh he’s getting $100 million! It ain’t about the $100 million. It’s about what’s fair. If Floyd whops Pacquiao it won’t be because Floyd got steroids in him or because Floyd’s got something illegally in him. He already whopped De La Hoya! He already whopped Shane Mosley! He already whopped Ricky Hatton! So it ain’t going to be about what Floyd ain’t got in him. The bottom line is it isn’t Floyd who doesn’t want to take the test. The only person who needs to take the test is Pacquiao because he’s the one who’s got the sh*t in him! So if he takes that test and he comes up with nothing in him he’s going to get his ass whopped too! That’s all there is to it! That’s the end of the story! It ain’t about what Floyd’s going to do! He ain’t had nothing illegal in his body yet, so why does he need to take something illegal now? The bottom line is if Pacquiao takes that test he’s been knocked out twice at 105 pounds so you know what he’s going to get at 147 pounds.”
