Mayweather's 0 would go after this fight. Pacquiao has grown so much as a fighter and boxer the last couple years. Those that say this will be an easy fight for Mayweather Jr have not even paid attention to how much a more complete offensive figher Pacquiao has become and how much he has improved his defense usin his tremendous speed! Pacquiao wins this fight! I would hate though to see Mayweather's first fight just to be Pacquiao. why doesnt he comeback and face Margarito/Cotto??? oh yea because he is still scared of them!Comment

Pac is raw. This would be a great fight. Defense vs offense. But dont take pac's defense for granted. Its better then you think.Comment

Yeah, but have you ever taken into account how intelligent Floyd could be when Pac's punches are coming at him from all angles? Floyd's intelligence and defense will be much of a factor when he faces fighters with slow handspeed and slow footwork and who fights at a slow pace like he does. Pac is neither of those. Floyd will be so busy trying not to get hit, and believe you me, Pac will hit him a lot, that he won't be able to counter. And what happens when Floyd can't counter, he will lose almost all of the rounds because we know that Pac will throw punches for the whole twelve rounds. The only way Floyd can win is if he can counter Pac, and I don't see that happening a lot. Floyd will never take the initiative against Pac early on because Pac's counterpunching is underrated. If you look at the de la Hoya fight, one of the main reasons why de la Hoya doesn't throw his jab a lot is because almost everytime he throws it, Pac counters him with an overhand right hook which almost never misses as it arrives before de la Hoya has time to pull his left back. Hell, Pac is so quick it amost arrives at the same time de la Hoya's jab does. So, it's a given that Floyd will never take the initiative in offense in the early rounds. He'll be waiting to counter Pac. What happens? When he loses almost all of the early rounds and sees his 0 flying away, he will be forced to attack Pac. When he does that, he will be knocked the **** out. There is no comparison between Pac's and Floyd's offense. Because he has the stronger punch and, in my estimation, the faster handspeed, Pac will win almost all the exchanges. Take note of this, if and when Floyd man's up to fight Pac, he will be KTFO. I doubt this will happen, though. I think if Pac massacres Hatton, FLOYD WILL CHICKEN OUT and demand so much money so that the fight will never happen.Originally posted by El Jesus View PostComment

Mayweathers:Floyd wants to fight Pacquiao
Mayweathers: Floyd wants to fight Pacquiao

Floyd Mayweather Sr., left, said he and other members of his family received calls from Floyd Mayweather Jr. saying he's looking to fight again and get his father back in his corner.
GRAND RAPIDS -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants to fight again and has reached out to his father about returning in a training capacity after their estrangement for most of the last eight years, family members said Monday.
Janelle Mayweather, the boxer's cousin, told family members he called her early Sunday morning -- moments after Manny Pacquiao's stirring win over Oscar De La Hoya on Saturday night in Las Vegas -- and stated his hopes to fight again and reunite with his father.
"My niece said my son told her he wanted to fight Pacquiao next, and that he wants me to train him for the fight," Mayweather Sr. said.
Bernice Mayweather said she was not surprised to hear her grandson -- a five-division champion with a 39-0 record, who last fought Dec. 8, 2007 -- wants to return to the ring.
"I always said he was going to fight again," she said. "It was just a matter of time. He was waiting until the time is right. And the time is right. I knew he was going to come out of retirement -- he did it before, didn't he?"
Janelle Mayweather disclosed her conversation with Mayweather Jr. to family members Sunday at Bernice Mayweather's home on the southeast side. She did not return a telephone message seeking comment.
Latisha Starling, another cousin of the boxer's, also was at Sunday's family get-together.
Starling said she was on the phone with Janelle Mayweather throughout the Pacquiao-De La Hoya fight, "kind of giving her play-by-play."
"Right after the fight ended and I hung up, Janelle said her phone rang again and she thought it was me. But it was Little Floyd, saying he wanted to fight Pacquiao and he had to get in touch with his father," Starling said.
Fatimah Mayweather, the boxer's sister, also told family members she received a call from her brother, hoping to discuss resuming a working relationship with Mayweather Sr.
Leonard Ellerbe, the boxer's adviser, did not return messages seeking comment.
Mayweather Sr. molded his son's career until a string of disagreements led him to resign in 2001.
He subsequently became one of the most-sought trainers in boxing, while his son went on to become mythical pound-for-pound king under the tutelage of Roger Mayweather, Mayweather Sr.'s brother.
Mayweather Jr. may want to reunite the brothers as co-trainers, a relationship tested before the fighter's 12-round decision victory over De La Hoya last year, when Mayweather Sr. began training camp as interim trainer while his brother finished an assault sentence.
Mayweather Sr. left the camp soon after his brother's release.
Starling said Janelle Mayweather, in recounting to the family her conversation with Mayweather Jr., "said she asked Little Floyd, 'What happens to Roger if you do this?' and he said, 'Oh, there are enough millions to go around, they can both be in my corner.'"
Mayweather Sr. said his son's reaction may be emotional -- Pacquiao assumed the pound-for-pound mantle after Mayweather Jr. retired, and defended it with a sensational eighth-round technical knockout of De La Hoya in Las Vegas -- but added that, regardless the motivation, any resumption of their working relationship would require contractual security.
"I will never be dumbfounded by anything in my life again unless contracts are involved," he said. "At the end of the day, he's still my son, but I'd have to hold him accountable with a contract. I didn't have a contract first time but I never dreamed it would end like that, either."
However, he said money would not be the prinicipal consideration if he entered talks with his son.
"I don't need a whole bunch of money," he said. "I'm a wealthy man. I just need enough to accommodate me for the rest of my time on this earth."
Mayweather Sr. added that he also received a telephone call from his son early Sunday morning but his phone was off and the message was cryptic.
There's only one problem.
"He didn't leave his number," Mayweather Sr. said.
