Pacquiao blasts mayweather and guarantees 3 more fights for fans

[-Rab]

So if Floyd would beat Pacquiao, What would you guys think? Just saying...

Then he should retire. That arguments doesnt hold weight. Hes still in his prime. Hes not shot or even showing so much of a hint to be slowing down. His legacy is still open for business.

Him getting waxed by Floyd in his Prime HURTS his legacy.

you wish it did but it won't. Seriously alot of these posters really want to see pac lose or for these steroid allegations to be true because most hate what Pac is doing.

Fact is even if he loses nothing will change about his legacy. Another Fact is Manny doesn't need this fight and everything he does is icing on the cake. If he does indeed fight 3 more fights and calls it a day, I look at all three as a victory lap on an already magnificent career.

Again no need to retire, because all these fights are like a victory lap and a gift to his fans.

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.”

This is the same guy whose trainer refused to fight Mosley because Mosley was too good.

Whether you like it or not, if Pacquiao does not fight Mayweather or Mosley(if he wins) it affects his legacy because the question marks will always be there. He has to fight them if you're taking about legacy. That's just how it works. His legacy is not as set in stone as you would like to think. Sure he's a HOF lock but his career doesn't even come close to matching somebody like Robinson or Duran who won championships well past their primes and at higher weights with no catchweights. People can talk about how Mayweather didn't fight Cotto or Margarito but if Mayweather beats Mosley and Pacquiao it pretty much eliminates a lot of that talk. Margarito and Cotto are no longer even considered the best at any weight. It's all about who is the best NOW. And right now it involves Pacquaio, Mayweather, and Mosley. If those fights don't happen the questions will always be there. So yes, there is more to do for Pacquiao. It's not just "icing".

when did he refuse to fight Shane. If case you guys didn't know, Roach has little to no say in who Pac faces. Arum is the guy who decides and I can't remember a time when Mosley was ever considered an Option in the eyes of Bob Arum

Was he suppose to fight Mosley instead of Oscar?
Mosley instead of Hatton?
Mosley instead of Cotto?

Again....Mosley was never an option and only got hot to you guys after he beat Margarito. Team Pac never ducked Mosley...Fact

STFU. Says the dude that rode floyd's nuts defending him when he retired in his prime TWICE.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

yeah they couldn't come accross any more different in the public eye as they do if they tried. Sometimes I just wish pac would just come out with his thoughts and do a bit of trash talking. Tho not to the extent mayweather does

you and me both...at least he has the fighting style that WOULD back up the tough talk

[Reloaded]

That doesnt sound like him.... or the him the public see's.

Thats what I thought , another adviser load of bull**** phony interview , the guy dont even talk like this .

[Shazam!]

Mayweather...

This. People have already forgot that he's already arguably the greatest Asian fighter of all time and the first 7 division world champion, let alone an All Time Great.
