Every time the name of Manny Pacquiao is brought up, in terms of being the best pound-for-pound fighter in boxing, Floyd Mayweather Jr. lashes out. Mayweather does not understand why certain people are holding Pacquiao in a higher status and giving him a lot more praise. This Saturday in Las Vegas, Mayweather wants to end the pound-for-pound debate between him and Pacquiao - by dominating Shane Mosley.

"Manny Pacquiao struggled twice, which we really know he got beat, struggled twice with [Juan Manuel] Marquez, which we know he really lost, right?  And we know he's been knocked out twice.  And he's been out-boxed by Erik Morales, but they still give him Boxer of the Decade.  So that's something I don't understand," Mayweather said.

"He beat a Miguel Cotto who just got pummeled with a cast.  So I mean, tell me what it really is.  He beat Miguel Cotto that got pummeled with a cast and he beat a Ricky Hatton that got stretched by me.  I'm trying to find out what it really is."

Mayweather thinks the media is biased when comparing him and Pacquiao. He doesn't feel the critics are giving him enough credit for his wins over common opponents like Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton. He thinks the critics will not give him the proper credit for the damage he plans to inflict this Saturday. Mayweather predicts a brutal win and says the critics will make excuses on why the win was so dominating.

"We're talking about what these guys are doing.  We're talking about me.  I've been dominating since the 90's.  That's what we talk about what I've been doing.  Like I said before, when guys like this fight De la Hoya and then they say, "Oh, it's unbelievable."  When I fight De la Hoya, they said, "De la Hoya's washed up."  See?  Things like this that I don't like.  Like when I go out and beat Mosley, People are going to go say 'he's over the hill.'  It's always an excuse," Mayweather said. 

"But they don't talk about how I won the title in one year.  I had the title all through my career, retired, came back and beat the number two dude pound-for-pound, but they say you was too big for Marquez, but you got too big for Manny Pacquiao. Well him and Marquez are the same size."
