Regarding the breakdown of negotiations between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao:
“I just think Floyd was looking for an out, I don’t think Floyd really wanted the fight. I mean I’m not saying he was scared of him or nothing, I’m just saying something he saw maybe intimidated him, maybe he didn’t like it, I don’t know. I feel like that was a way for him to get out of the fight because he initiated it. Pacquiao was the reactionary and the reactionary is never at fault.”
On whether he believes Floyd will step up and fight Sugar Shane Mosley:
“Floyd will never fight Shane Mosley. He will never fight Shane Mosley. I think he knows as well as anybody else, I don’t think that’s the right fight for him. No disrespect to Floyd, but while we are on the subject, if you’re going to call yourself the best fighter in the world you should at least fight a fighter that has a chance of beating you and I don’t think he’s ever done that.”
On who he thinks would win if Pacquiao and Mayweather did eventually fight sometime in 2010:
“I think Floyd is the better fighter, but the question is not if but when Manny Pacquiao hits him—and he probably will hit Floyd a lot even though Floyd is a great defensive fighter—how is going to react? I think the questions would have to be answered on Mayweather’s end, not Pacquiao’s.”
