FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. INSISTS MAYWEATHER VS. PACQUIAO WILL HAPPEN: "IT'S GONNA HAPPEN...MARK MY WORDS"
By Ben Thompson | October 08, 2014


BT: Floyd's only got two fights left on that Showtime contract. Ultimately it'll be his decision, but as his father, are you ready to see him hang 'em up or do you think there's still some unfinished business for him out there?

FMS: No, no, no. Man, I'm pretty sure that if don't nothing else happen, I'm pretty sure he's gonna get Pacquiao.

BT: You think so?

FMS: Yes. Exactly.

BT: For number 50 maybe?

FMS: Well, it might be number 49. Floyd's gonna kick his little ass.

BT: But Big Floyd, do you really think that fight is going to happen? I mean, do you honestly think Bob Arum and Al Haymon are going to sit down and make that fight happen?

FMS: Ummmm...it's gonna happen. That fight's gonna happen. Trust me. That fight's definitely gonna happen. It's a fight for the world, man, right there. It's the biggest fight that has ever been in life, so like I said man, that fight's gonna happen. I'ma tell you right now, he never told me the fight's gonna happen, but I'ma tell you, the fight's gonna happen. You mark my words and we'll see. And it needs to happen. Just like Ali and Joe Frazier, or Ali and George Foreman, something like that, man, it's one of those fights like that. The world wants to see it and they'll want to see it again when Floyd beats Pacquiao. I'm pretty sure Floyd is gonna make it look where people are going to want to see it again, because I'm just saying, Floyd's gonna pick Pacquiao apart, man.

BT: If it doesn't happen, do you think people will always wonder...

FMS: (Cutting in) Well, a lot of people are going to say, "Floyd was scared of Pacquiao. Floyd was this, that, and the other." Floyd is not scared of Pacquiao, man. Believe me as I tell you today. Floyd done beat motherfukkers that done beat Pacquiao. What's his name? The one that knocked Pacquiao out. Marquez. How in the hell is he going to beat Floyd when Floyd took Marquez to school. I mean, it's just going to be the same thing. Matter of fact, it's going to be easier because Pacquiao is tailor-made for Floyd. He's tailor-made to eat the right hand all day long. You gotta remember, Pacquiao is a southpaw. He's a southpaw and Floyd is right-handed, so he'll eat right hands and left hooks all night, and more than likely, he will be going to sleep again. Believe me!

I agree 100%. I believe they ARE gonna fight, because neither of them have any real other PPV options left out there. I also believe Floyd Mayweather is gonna beat Manny Pacquaio very easy.

Floyd has every physical and skill advantage except power...but he has a helluva chin, so that's a moot point for me.

I really believe Pacquiao fans would be better served with their guy NOT fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr, because when Floyd beats him, it's gonna be by giving Manny Pacquiao a boxing clinic he's never received before

Cash out fight for both the sooner the better

Cash out fight for both the sooner the better

I feel you, but with them both being still ranked Ring Champion and Ring #1 Challenger at Welterweight, and also being the Ring P4P #1 and #4....it's easily the biggest fight available and anyone who knows the name Mayweather or Pacquiao will order the fight.


I could see them smashing the 2.4 million PPV buys of Mayweather vs Canelo

I think they can do a little under 3 million if they get serious with the promotion. If Canelo could've spoke a lick of English I imagine that number would've been even bigger in the US.

If you were training Manny how would you have him attack Floyd?

I would duck the fight

Manny's resume/legacy at 147 would be alot better if he's able to retire without 2 losses to Floyd on it and the public thinking that he actually could win

But to answer you, I would have Manny Pacquiao pressure the HELL out of Floyd, but doing it with smart combinations...since Floyd only throws 1 punch at a time.

In order for Manny to beat Floyd, I believe he has to either KO him or have the stamina to outwork Floyd's accuracy .What I mean by the latter is, Floyd is gonna always connect at a much higher percentage than you. It's pretty much a given. You have to be able to outland him 2 to 1 though, and the only way that would happen is if you can maintain faster pace than he fights at and also thowing punches in bunches.

The 2009 Manny Pacquiao could sustain that pace, 2014 Pacquiao...I dont know.

Also, with the whole "outworking Floyd" thing, I also believe people go to his head too much and dont vary their attack enough. Body work and shoulder shots early in the fight, will lower that high shoulder roll that he likes to stand behind late in the fight, and I believe will help make it a little easier to catch Floyd with some over the top shots in the center of the ring....especially with Manny's hand speed.

The most important thing though? JAB! Nobody likes to jab Floyd and think you have to just swing for the fences. No. A quick right jab, then duck under the counter right Floyd is undoubtedly going to send back to you, and left hook to the body will be there for you in the center of the ring. Hit that a few times on him, and Floyd is gonna wait on it to counter you with an uppercut on the duck. You then right jab, feint the left hook to the body (Floyd's gonna try the uppercut) and hit Floyd with a counter left hook off his uppercut.

I would definitely train Manny for speed and stamina though, because he's already a left handed power puncher. I would just wanna make sure he can go the full 12 throwing at least 80 punches a round on average and try and use his feet to avoid and get out of the way of Floyd's pinpoint lasers.

 

[Tide Run This]

Who has more success vs Floyd if the fight is made @Newzz

2015 Pacquiao vs 2015 Floyd or 2006 Judah vs 2006 Floyd

I was a stan of PBF and Judah and was pretty hyped for the 06 fight even after the Baldimir fiasco. I thought Judah did pretty well in the early part of the fight but began to get overwhelmed physically and mentally by PBF. I had Floyd winning going away 8-4/9-3 depending on how generous i'm feeling when rewatching it. Would Manny do better at this point or you do see it fight ending with a similar 9-3/8-4 type of scorecard.

Since floyd has 2 fights left, might as well fight manny twice next year.


Showtime is probably thinking that too

Definitely its been about 5 years and people still talking about the floyd/manny fight

pacquiao has to steam roll Algeri in devastating fashion for that too happen, and if he does the fight will happen in may

they will just create more excuses
pacquaio fans are very prepared for that outcome
same people saying floyd scared wouldnt dare bet their money against him
thats why im happy floyd whooped alvarez last year
u already heard the "floyd is scared of canelo" stuff starting up

then when he beat him they were like "oh canelo is too young, he needed one more fight"

I think it would be a similar scorecard, but Floyd's victory over Manny Pacquiao would be more of a boxing clinic where the victory of Zab was more of a, like you said, being mentally overwhelmed.

Floyd beat him clearly and cleanly. That was an impressive performance in my opinion

They are both going to keep mentioning each other's names so we will keep buying them vs. whatever jobber they fight next because "eventually it will happen"
