BoxingScene.com caught up with Floyd Mayweather Sr., father and trainer of WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., to discuss a potential mega-fight showdown with Manny Pacquiao, the WBO welterweight champion, for May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Several years ago, Floyd Sr. (among other members of his family) accused Pacquiao of using performance enhancing drugs. The accusations began in early 2010, when Pacquiao refused to accept Mayweather's demand for a random drug testing protocol.
Floyd Sr., and several others involved, were sued by Pacquiao for defamation. Eventually, both sides reached a confidential settlement on the matter.
It does not appear that Floyd Sr. believes Pacquiao is currently taking something, but it still seems that he's under the impression that Pacquiao was once under the influence of PEDs - pointing to the fighter's inability to secure a knockout win since late 2009.
"A lot of people might think he's a great fighter. He did all of those knockouts. For some reason or another, I went to court for that. I had a reason on why I went to court. Now....why all of a sudden, after I went to court - he hasn't knocked anybody out in five years. C'mon man. He was knocking everybody out. Every time he touched them - they're gone," Mayweather Sr. told BoxingScene.com.
"Now all of a sudden......the last guy was an amateur and he couldn't even knock him out. [Chris] Algieri was an amateur. I'm just saying, in a manner of speaking, he fought just like an amateur and [Pacquiao] couldn't knock him out. He knocked him down. He knocked him down six times and still couldn't get him out. C'mon man it's a joke."
