The Mayweathers, for whatever reason, refuse to accept that Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest boxers in this generation. But at least someone in the Mayweather camp genuinely feels the Pacman is a sensible option for the former pound-for-pound king. Roger Mayweather, along with his clansmen, admitted in an interview that Pacquiao “is a better fighter than I thought he was” after dismantling Oscar dela Hoya and Ricky Hatton.
Roger predicted a Cotto victory and will only believe that Pacquiao is great, or at least should be in line with other greats, if he gets past the Puerto Rican. Well, Pacquiao made Cotto retreat. Will Roger admit that Pacquiao is really great?
That aside, Roger believes that a Pacquiao-Mayweather clash will be the biggest event in boxing and that it should happen sometime next year. With all the blockades set up by the Mayweather camp, it is easy to see that only Roger truly knows the impact of this bout.
“That will be the biggest fight for my nephew,” Roger said.
However, Lil’ Floyd’s father is in to contradict things. With insinuations about steroid use helping the Pacman scale the weights and beat bigger fighters, Floyd Senior is doing more harm than good. And with the suggestion of Olympic standard drug testing, they are only showing that the Mayweathers are not willing to pit Pretty Boy against the Pacman.
And if Pacman does pass the test, then Mayweather has finally ran out of options, except for one as suggested by Roger Mayweather – fight Pacquiao.
