Alot of you just think he is a big fan of Pac but I think there is more to it then that and he just wanted to see Morales get his ass kicked anyway. Remember Morales is always saying how he wants to fight Floyd and Floyd acts like he thinks its a joke and he would kill Morales. Then Morales camp and some others claim that he kicked Floyds ass when the sparred together but Floyd said it wansnt true, and to Morales credit he always played it off also, like it was really nothing and they werent going that hard.
Then you had alot of experts saying that think Morales is pound for pound better and some said after Morales started moving up in weight that they think Morales can beat Floyd, like Dougie Fischer. Remember they even had a story line of line the first KO Kings boxing game about Morales vs Mayweather and had Floyd on there saying "this is a joke and I will kill him".
I think Floyd just wanted everyone to stop putting Morales in the same catagory as him or ranking him higher then Mayweather, and stop saying that he could give Floyd trouble in a match.
^why do you need some hardcore evidence? he even said he was a fan, and he praises pacquaio he never does that for any fighter. Is it that big of a deal? Your acting like he is on trial or something almost like you like floyd but dont like pacquiao. I bet even if you saw floyd saying it and wearing a pacman shirt on video it wouldn't be enough right? you would probally say it is photo shopped big deal he is a fan now let it go.
What Im saying is that it could also easily be explained as Floyd just having so much hate for Morales and thats why he was jumping up and down. I bet that he wouldnt only be doing that because it was Pac doing it. If it was Nate Campbell or Jesus Chaves he would be doing the same thing. Im not saying he doesnt like Pac because he probally does but this was more about seeing Morales get his ass kicked then it was cheering for Pac
i think PBF is a fan of pacman but he also has some beef with morales, this is what he had to say about morales in a recent interview with BOXINGTALK, i bolded the parts where he talks about morales:
SlickNick: and how did you feel seeing Morales get TKO'd?
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: I told everybody who was around me and with me that Pacquiao was going to stop Morales. Pacquiao brings a lot of energy to the ring and he's a fighter that's exciting and good for boxing, just like myself.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: I didn't bet on him, but I really wanted him to win because he's been fighting the odds just like me.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: He's real exciting and he comes to bring it every time he fights. I really like that.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: Me and Morales have a personal beef.
MAYWEATHER#1P4P: Floyd, im so glad to hear that the judah fight is still on, baldomir sure as hell didnt deserve to fight you, and neither did bumarito so thanks for sticking with zab cause he got robbed anyway. would you be willing to meet morales or pac at a catchweight
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: You got to be kidding me, right? You saw Floyd Mayweather at 130 and you see these guys. As much as I respect Pacquiao, I'm sure you see the difference.
Celtic1888: Not so long ago you were Super-Featherweight champion, how would you have fought Manny Pacquaio and what all time great would u like to fight (whats ur beef with Morales)?
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: I would have done the things that Floyd Mayweather does. Morales’s corner never made any adjustments throughout the fight. From ringside, you can see Pacquiao had a different plan and Morales’s corner never made any adjustments.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: Morales has been in too many wars and his body is starting to break down.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: Morales don't like me because I'm undefeated and he can't tie my shoe strings.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: He said something very disrespectful to me, but being the bigger man is easy when you’re watching these guys from ringside.
weedman: floyd please....saying morales cant tie your shoes is disrepecting a legend in this sport...and no disrepect to you but i bet he could give you a fight at 135....honestly i would rather see you fight smaller guys like morales and corrales....maybe even bar
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: All I can say is one thing, of course he's a future hall of famer, but he's not on my level. I'm a different fighter. All he has to do is call Bob if he wants to fight me. Bob would tell him “ain't no way in hell I'll put you in with Mayweather”
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: If Bob pays me enough, I'll beat Morales and Cotto and they could tag in and out like wrestlers.
who he thinks wll win regarding pacman and MAB.....
Bronxwarrior: Pacquiao or Barrera in a rematch?
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: Pacquiao most definitely. Another stoppage.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: Barrera is a great fighter, but Pacquiao is unbelieveable.
looks like has some beef with morales.
The Pacquiao-Morales fight was reminiscent of Trinidad-Mayorga. A Mayweather-Morales fight would be more like Mayweather-Morales fight would be more like Mayweather-Gatti. Morales is too slow and too front foot heavy. That is the worst way for a Mexican legend to go out. Have a loud mouth moreno talk shit about him before a fight, throw a taco at him in the pre fight press conference, and then humiliate and embarrass him in front of his Las Vegas fans. Conversely, Pacquiao is a fellow warrior who shows class and respect for everyone he steps in the ring with. I guarantee that all the mexicanos that love Mayweather would not love him if Morales and Mayweather were to fight. It would be worse than then the Gatti fight.
it was evident Mayweather likes Manny. Notice how he stood up on his seat and just bounce heis head up and down like a rapper and was raisins his hand and shyt yellin at all the Mexican fans? LOL!!!!! He was like at a P Diddy party after Manny stopped Morales. :D
I was there I could hear floyd yelling!He was yelling at the mexican crowd and at the end of the fight he turned to look at them and he got up on his chair, like he just won the lotto.He kept saying "that's the MEXICAN ASSASIN" and "That's my boy"
I think he is a genuine fan of manny pacquiao because he was at the jmm, and the first morales fight and always cheering manny.But it seemed like he enjoyed this night and was more vocal during this fight,like he wanted morales out cold fast.
He looked like kermit the frog though I never knew he was that short.
He may be a fan but you have to come up with more reasons then him being at Pacs fights because Floyd is a fan of boxing period, and he goes to alot of the big fights no matter who it is. He also I think just likes to be seen
the only one making a big deal of it is you.
I am not trying to argue with you but...you posted something completly irrelevant to the topic.As I recall this was a thread about floyd being a fan of manny.
You made it out like your were jealous or something because if you were not why add that?
Why would I be jealous? Manny is a people's fighter and a fighter everyone should like and respect. He's humble, a throwback, and a class act.
My point being was Floyd still has his ego that says that Pac and Morales don't belong in the same sentence as him. And who knows? He might be right.
Your practically nutting off Floyd complimenting another fighter. I didn't take it as such a big of a deal. I guess you do.
Ok but what does that have to do with the topic?
Everyone knows floyd is one of the best and would obviously beat morales and pacman especially since he is not a 130 pounder anymore and his skill is far superior.Floyd said he could beat oscar, tito, and shane mosley and winky wright but he is only a fan of pacman and he is rarely a fan of any fighters out right now.
They question asked is how would a fight play out between the two and Floyd while he was at 130. And he answered it.
Ok, yeah, big deal. Why are you getting off that Floyd is a fan of Pac? Like Manny needs Floyd to co-sign for him or something? I think your making too big of a deal about this.
Nope, he's obviously a fan.
But don't think Floyd's being changed and being humble about other fighters. He was praising Pac for his win and then someone asked him what if he was to fight Pac or Terrible and Pretty boy was quick to say that he'd bury them easily.
I dont really think a fight between them can happened because of the weight. I think Floyd is better then him pound for pound, let alone the huge weight advantage
Maybe you're right.
I think if it did happen, Morales will go down with a fight. But there are so many advantages Mayweather has that just spell disaster for Morales.
Before the fight. Mayweather probably told Pacquiao, "Handle my lightweight, Manny."
