Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. is predicting a wipeout. He says Manny Pacquiao has no chance to beat his son, Floyd Mayweather Jr. The two fighters have agreed to terms for a clash on March 13. The fight, for Pacquiao, WBO welterweight title, will take place at 147-pounds and 8oz gloves will be used.
Floyd Sr. spoke to Chris Robinson of The Examiner, stating that Pacquiao made a serious mistake by signing off on the fight. He only cautions his son to watch out for Pacquiao's left hand. If he avoids the left, Floyd Sr. sees an easy win for his son.
“I do feel that Pacquiao is making a mistake going up against my son. Floyd is the most technical fighter out there. He’ll control the fight easily with his ring generalship. I don’t see anything that Pacquiao can bring for him. If Floyd stays away from that left it will be easy work,” Floyd Sr. said.
“Manny Pacquiao shouldn’t have signed the fight. He isn’t going to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. In no shape or form can he possibly beat my son.”
Floyd Sr. was the first person to go on the record with a claim that Pacquiao is using some form of drugs to enchance his ability to deal with much bigger fighters. He continues to hint at that fact and says Pacquiao should be checked out before the big March fight.
“I’m going to tell you what you really want to know, which is my personal opinion. Of course I think something shady is going on behind the scenes. A guy just can’t rise like that in weight class and punch the way he does. I feel he needs to be checked out before the next fight," Floyd Sr said.
