For once Floyd got it right: "The world will go "wow" when they see me get beat by Pacquiao"

After seeing how Manny Pacquiao demolished Miguel Cotto, a tough and rugged welterweight he himself has strafed, Floyd Mayweather Jr. went back on the offensive using his fists- except that with Floyd, his fists are located in his mouth.
Immediately after Pacquiao's sensational performance, Mayweather found a camera and a microphone to belittle what the little big man from the Philippines had just accomplished and said, "The thing is with Pacquiao I don't see any versatility as a fighter; he's a good puncher but just one-dimensional."
Can't say I agree, but what the heck, does anybody really believe anything Floyd has to say nowadays? He is as credible as, well, his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. It's really simply because of his fame and entertainment that people want to hear what he has to say. Don't get me wrong, Floyd is a hell of a "boxer"- you know, a practitioner of the sweet science- but as a "fighter", he's a straight up itch when you scratch yields a capital B. He does his fighting with his talking but opts to fight smaller guys and run around the ring. A fight between he and Pacquiao may be what the world wants to see on paper but inside the ring, that might very well end up be flat out one-sided or simply boring. Why did I say that? Well for one, if Floyd fights the way he does, then he will be running for his life like Cotto in the latter rounds of his fight against Pacquiao after he feels the sting of that vicious left. Floyd doesn't do well against southpaws, and with the best ever, he will simply be dismantled.
Floyd got one thing right however when he said, "The world's going to go 'wow' if Floyd Mayweather gets beaten. That's what everyone is looking to see." Not because they just want to "hate" like you claim, actually you have placed it on yourself. How can you expect people not to love seeing you get knocked the F out with you arrogance and egotistical ways on top of avoiding the best fighters out there? You have nothing good to say about any other fighter but yourself. With that said however, I know Mayweather is smart as well, that's why he has avoided these top-flight opponents and resorted to talking because deep inside he knows, he would take an a$$-whooping.
I know a lot of Mayweather fans may think I'm simply being biased, but please look at the track record, have I not been accurate with my predictions? Did I not say Cotto will go down from that Pacquiao "See you at the Karaoke party" left cross with the way he lunges in with that right? Did I not say Hatton and De la Hoya will get beatings? I am no genius, I am just calling it like it is. Actually I just can't believe how blinded some people are not to give Pacquiao his full credit. I have followed the sport long and close enough to know a little bit about these things. Even my UFC predictions stand at 24-4 right now since UFC 99.
So when I tell you that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is an easy fight for Manny Pacquiao, you don't have to believe it, but you are guaranteed that I believe it because of my analysis and not any form of bias and emotions. Floyd can do that shoulder roll all he wants, Pacquiao will simply hit it and dislocate it. Cotto by far is a stronger puncher than Mayweather, if his cleanest blows couldn't take Pacquiao down, Mayweather's punches will feel like a love tap. As my esteemed colleague in New York Mike Marley would say, I'll be bringing in the shopping bags on that one to collect all the money I will make from betting on Pacquiao.
