MANILA, Philippines – That Filipino champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is now the top contender to his World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight belt is of no concern to unbeaten American superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The WBC recently installed Pacquiao as the No. 1 contender to its WBC belt, which Mayweather currently holds.
But speaking to Fight Hype, the American star simply shrugged it off, even saying that Pacquiao can have the belt if he so wanted.
“Everybody keeps talking about the title and that he’s the mandatory,” Mayweather said. “He can have the belt. A belt doesn’t make me.”
He pointed out that he has allowed his past opponents to keep their belts before.
“Shane Mosley was the WBA welterweight champion. I beat Shane, and he was still the WBA welterweight champion. A belt doesn’t define Floyd Mayweather,” he stressed. “A belt doesn’t define my legacy.”
Mayweather also sounded somewhat suspicious of how Pacquiao got to be the No. 1 contender in the first place.
“You know, when you talk about the Manny Pacquiao story, Manny Pacquiao was at welterweight, and he lost to Timothy Bradley. No matter how you cut it, slice it or weigh it, he lost to Timothy Bradley,” Mayweather said.
“He got knocked out by (Juan Manuel) Marquez. He came back, and then he goes the distance with a lightweight,” he added, referring to Brandon Rios, whom Pacquiao outpointed last November 24.
“Now, all of a sudden, he’s the mandatory for my title.”
Mayweather contrasted Pacquiao’s recent fortunes with his own, pointing out that at 45-0, he is still undefeated and just recently broke his own pay-per-view record.
“I held the record for pay-per-view, I broke the record again, and the record I broke in pay-per-view was my own record,” he said. “I broke my record at the gate, and the record that I broke was my own record.”
“I’ve been a champion since 1998, until right now. I’m not 1-2 in my last three fights. I’m 45-0 throughout my professional career,” he added.
“I always said before, and I’m going to say it again – they put ‘em in front of me, and I’ll beat ‘em.”
