Floyd Mayweather: "If we ever fought, I’d beat the **** out of Manny Pacquiao."
Floyd Mayweather has unleashed a flurry of verbal jabs at Manny Pacquiao.
"If we ever fought, I’d beat the **** out of Manny Pacquiao. And he (Pacquiao) knows that," Mayweather told the website boxing talk yesterday.
Still, Mayweather admitted that Pacquiao’s second-round demolition of Ricky Hatton was impressive, but said that the Filipino’s best won’t be enough to beat him.
"A very, very good performance. He’s a very good fighter, but he could never beat me. Ricky Hatton never listened to my dad (Floyd Sr.), if he had followed my dad it would have been different, but he never listened from the word go."
While Pacquiao has refused to divulge who among Mayweather, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Marquez is his preference for his Oct. 17 fight, it’s been widely believed that the pound-for-pound king has his eyes trained on the loudmouthed Mayweather Jr.
Team Pacquiao said the identity of who Pacquiao fights next will be known after the July 18 Mayweather-Marquez showdown.
It would be a hard to stage a Mayweather-Pacquiao match owing to the egos involved.
Being unbeaten prior to his ‘retirement?in 2008, Mayweather will insist that he deserves the lion’s share of the profit in the event a fight with Pacquiao is discussed.
