In a recent interview, pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao blasted multi-division champion Floyd Mayweather, calling him a coward and claiming that the undefeated fighter is jealous of his own achievments. “We have seen him make excuses and accusations when I agreed to fight him, even going too far by destroying my reputation and even foolishly trying to become his own Boxing Commission. I believe he will continue to demand outrageous and ****** ideas, should he beat Mosley, only to mess me up and not actually fight me,” Pacquiao commented when asked whether or not he thought Mayweather would be willing to fight him should he defeat Shane Mosley this weekend. “I still think he is scared of me,” he added.
Currently focused on his political campaign as he vies for a seat in the Philippine Congress this May, Pacquiao took time out of his busy schedule to talk about what he knows best, boxing, and to share his thoughts on the this weekend’s highly-anticipated clash between Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley. “I think Mosley has a great chance of winning. I expect him and his team to come up with different plans to fight Mayweather who I think will run all night,” he commented as he tabbed Mosley to pull off the upset. He then wasted no time in taking Mayweather to task to remind him exactly who the more accomplished fighter really is.
“Mayweather still has to beat Mosley if he wants to fight me. In all my fights, I never predict the outcome. If a knockout presents itself, I will take it, but I think, should Mayweather ever challenge me, it will be a fight between the greatest offense against the best defense in the sport of boxing,” Pacquiao stated in an interview with boxing website boxinqtalk.com. “Mayweather and his kin thought they could push and intimidate everyone they choose to and by doing so, gain instant advantage even before the first real punch gets thrown. I just think he and his team are scared of me and are very jealous of my achievements because I have surpassed him.”
As for his own boxing career, Pacquiao made it clear that he has no intention whatsoever of retiring any time soon. Regardless of the success of failure of his political campaign, Pacquiao assured his fans that, at he very least, they can expect three more fights from him. “I will continue to fight as long as I think I am capable and healthy to give the fans what they like. I think I am still good for three more fights,” he added. “Before I retire, I would like to leave a legacy and be known as the man who changed the face of boxing.”
