I don't think that even Floyd believes that. Why? If Floyd is way and above Manny then Floyd would think it would be extremely easy to beat up Manny.
BUT we know that is not true because Floyd is telling Manny, the guy that is not in his league, that the only way they can get a fight to happen is if Manny takes drug testing. Floyd is so concerned that even a 14 day cut-off is not enough.
Floyd's father had a very concerned look after he witnessed Manny destroy Cotto. He even suggested that his son shouldn't fight Manny.
The odds will be in Floyd's favor but out of his league is stretching it.
"Manny Pacquiao is a fighter who got beat by Eric Morales... A guy who's been knocked down in his career... a helluva little fighter, but no disrepect, but Pacquiao is not in my league." -- Floyd Mayweather
Your thoughts on this?
I think it shows guts and will and passion when a guy get KDed the way Pacquioa has. Leaving himeself open going in for the kill. Like against barrera, even thought that was a BS call.
Not sayin Pacquioa is the better fighter though.
And there is NO shame losing to Morales, especially considering he came back wtih 2 KO victories over him right afterward
The shane mosely fight is enough to convince me that Floyd would dominate Pac. Manny Steward said it best after the Mosely fight.
The Shane should've been enough to convince you that Floyd could beat a 38 year old fighter who had been inactive for a year and 4 months, who had been through 2 straight full-length training camps back-to-back... and he still almost got taken out in 2 rounds.
Shane fights NOTHING like Pac. The only fighter who even remotely resembles Manny that Floyd has fought is Zab, and he's the poor man's version AT BEST. Miguel Cotto would be the first to tell you that.
There's a reason Floyd would rather vacation than earn an $50-$60 mil for one night's work against someone who's supposedly not in his league. He doesn't feel it's worth the risk.
What does getting knocked down mean? How can you discredit somebody for getting knocked down in the professional ring, especially with a style like Manny's.
Oh, and from what I can remember, didn't Zab drop Floyd too? Yeah, that's what I thought.
not tryin to defend floyd here...bu cmon...wtf people keep bringin this up? his glove grazed the canvas...its not like he got put on his ass.

Zab didnt knock Floyd down. He never lost to castillo etc. Stop adding stuff to Floyds record. IF it aint on paper it never happened, its a FISHING STORY. But like you said KD mean nothing when you win the fight. Manny actually lost to Erick, not only did he lose. Erick was coming off to brutal fights with barrera. Manny caught those two after they practically destoryed each other..
