Mayweather: Pacquiao's a loser, i'm a winner
MAYWEATHER: PACQUIAO'S A LOSER, I'M A WINNER
20th May 2009 By Mauro Galluzzo for dailystar.co.uk
FLOYD Mayweather Jr set up the prospect of a mouthwatering 'clash of the titans' with Manny Pacquiao last night by claiming he has a far superior record to the Filipino.
The 32-year-old, who fights Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18, is confident he can put any ring rust to one side to defeat the Mexican in Las Vegas.
And the flamboyant American welterweight - known for winding up opponents - hinted he was already looking forward to a showdown with Pacquiao - who has taken his crown as the pound-for-pound king of boxing when he retired 18 months ago.
“I respect him [Manny Pacquiao] for what he does," said Mayweather.
"I respect him in the fight game, but I’ve never been beat,” he added in a clear reference to the three defeats on Pacquiao’s record.
“Nobody has the antidote for Floyd Mayweather.”
Meanwhile Marquez, the lightweight champion, said he expected 'Pretty Boy' to be back to his prime for the catch weight clash.
“I’m expecting the best Floyd Mayweather ever,” Marquez told a New York press conference.
“I’m putting in my mind that he never retired, so I’m expecting the best.”
Marquez added that he has been piling on muscle as he bids to get himself up to the fight weight of 143 pounds.
“I always prepare myself to win,” Marquez he said. “He’s not a machine, he’s a human being, and human beings can be beat.”
While Marquez is building up to the weight, Mayweather must slim down after the time away.
He returns to a boxing world he no longer rules after Pacquiao demolished Ricky Hatton earlier this month, but Mayweather it is clear he is not ready to hand over his crown to anybody.
Indeed, he seems to be relishing a meeting with the Pacman should he win in Vegas.
