Mayweather is already taunting Pacquiao

Mayweather is already taunting Pacquiao

It had to happen.

Floyd Mayweather jnr has come out with his jaw blazing, taunting Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao and his trainer, Freddie Roach.

He reckons Pacquiao doesn’t want to fight him. “Manny Pacquiao doesn’t say anything directly about fighting me because he might just know it’s not a fight he can win,” Mayweather was quoted as saying.

He also said Pacquiao should be his own man and stop having other people – including Roach – talk for him. Read the full story here.

This is one fight in boxing that needs to happen, and the sport will take a knock if it doesn’t. Hopefully they’ll do the business of arranging the fight without resorting to macho tactics akin to teenagers trying to boast about the size of their penis’.

If the fight happens, who do you think will win? Vote here.

Shut up Floyd!!! From the point Manny became champion he lets his promoter do the job of picking his opponents coz he is a fighter. And he fought whomever his promoter picks. Also he does his talking on the ring convicingly.

Not like you, who is an overrated, proud, cherry picker, ducker, son of the Sr. sHHHHH!TTT.

If I were Manny, he should not fight you, coz he has nothing left to prove, and of course lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$, while you are seeking those $$$$$$$$$$$.

Without Manny you’re nothing. Coz the only one who would want to fight you is Mosley and you don’t want to fight Mosley, coz you’re too smart to be exposed.

Come on guys, give Floyd credit; like him or not, he’s a technically brilliant fighter. Manny can fight with the precision of a surgeon but Floyd’s fights are often laser precision; not always the most exciting to watch but damn effective. Floyd doesn’t have to KO because he kills on points. I like Floyd, I love Manny. Yeah Floyd is a **** talker but it’s no different then Ali and he can take it to the bank too. The only thing that can be said is that it’s going to be a great fight. Floyd would have to out point him. I don’t think Floyd can KO Manny. Manny is nasty and a warrior. I don’t know where to put my $$$ on this one…

Here world let face the truth, mayweather is a black man with a big mouth. So its very easy to see why so many dislike him. But at the end do you really matter, cause it seems as if las vegas loves him. In all honesty your probaly the same fools that dog him before every fight and have your feeling hurt every time because the man is GREAT. With manny beating cotto…… what was that cotto never had or has the potential to be a number one fighter. He didn’t honestly beat shane. Manny did not beat floyd for any belt that he has. Shane is gonna have his own problems with berto so he should stay off to the side. An people always say that mayweather can only win by desicion…… at the end of the fight is there really one to be made?? So my money is on floyd. But when he does come away with this fight he should retire cause no one else has a chance. He has fought big name wether they were over rated or not an is still carrying a flawless record so a good fight this will be, an a fairly easy one for floyd.

i swear u mayweather haters r sooooo freakin stupid u guyz let ur personal hate for mayweather cloud ur judgement of how great a fighter he is… talkin about who has he beaten who has pacman beaten a drained over the hill de la hoya a brain damaged over rated hatton a cotto who hasnt fought at 145 lbs in over three yrs and who hasnt bin the same after his brutal defeat at the hands of antonio magarito plz he picks and chooses fights just like mayweather if u wanna talk about that… manny’s the one who doesnt wanna fight mosely talkin bout if he wants to fight he’ll have to fight him at 144 lbs talk about a pick and chooser he knows mosely way better than de la hoya and hatton so he tries to bring everyone down in weight in hopes that they’ll b drained and manny will take advantage of that and so far it has worked to a tee he turned down marquez because he knows marquez is the fighter that gave him the most problems in their last fight winning and drawing their last controversial bouts talk about a ducker but only mayweather get the title because he’s great and he likes to let people kno hello ppl he’s at 40 wins 0 losses notice i said 0 losses and 0 draws undefeated he has the resume to brag u people r jus mad because he isnt who u want him to b but greatness is greatness wether u like it or not the greatest defensive fighter of all-time one of the greatest if not the greatest overall fighter of all time… GIVE CREDIT and RESPECT WHERE CREDIT and RESPECT IS DUE AND u guys giving him CREDIT AND RESPECT IS LONG OVERDUE!!!!

If you are so sure of a victory PBF, then agree to a 45-45 split with the winner taking the rest home. Everyone else shut up and wait til the fight ends (with PBF crying on the canvas trying to think up an excuse–hahaha!).

I think this would be the fight we are all waiting for. It has to happen!! My money would be on manny. The guy is a warrior and never backs down. He fights toe to toe and is the best in the world at it. I think Mayweather is going to have lots of trouble tryng to point win this fight. Mayweather is a great fighter dont take me wrong and it wont be easy for pac man neither but his speed and strength will over power floyd. It hurted to see how pac man destroyed so many mexican fighters as i am one my self, but his talent and warrior performances in that ring made me his FAN! Pac man is the best pound by pound boxer in the world!!! If the fight occurs i dare to say Mayweathers flawless record will come to an end!

well, the badmouthed king of the ring(?) have finally challenge pacquiao. that will be avery good idea for him to fight a real monster, a much better opponent than any of his latest victims. yeah, mayweather is great… but wait til he face the pacman, his greatness will melt just like his nasty tongue on a chocolate. come on arum/delahoya bring the fans what we wanted. let us see who really is the king of the ring.you big mouth mayweather will finally learn what it felt kissing the canvass. taste the hard pill of losing.

Amazing. Pac fans deride Floyd for being an over the hill DeLaHoya and Hatton. Exucse me, but what were they like when they fought Pacquiao later…..duh….DelaHoya virtually threw no punches against Pacquiao, shocking. Regardless, Manny is a truly fabulous fighter, but then so is PBF. Its just some of the nonsense spouted by some Pac fans, really….

Mayweather will win!!!! Mayweather is the best of the best… Its because mayweather will run throughout the fight and Manny will be tired of chasing him…the whole world will surely watch this fight..and you will surely see for the first time the brown knockout the brownish…

Mayweather is reversing it.

The answer to Floyd Mayweather’s question.

Floyd Mayweather will need more than his stinking mouth to get Manny’s attention to bite his lure. And the whole world knew about this clown’s meaningless rants that a lot of people really dont care anymore about his “self proclaim” vision of being the great P4P king of this generation. Real boxing fans knew who the king is without himself uttering a single word. The world is sick and tired of Floyd and he should be the one “to step up to the plate” and fight boxers he’d ducked for a long time now.

These moneybag nuthuggers are so stupid. Who had the guts to fight COTTO????? WHO??? FMJ may be a great fighter, but his attitude and arrogance leaves NOTHING to be desired. You’re the ones that are clouded if you think his actions are acceptable and okay.

Oh and what a nice comeback for FMJ….fighting JMM who clearly wasn’t even a fair opponent and to top it all off moneybag couldn’t even HONOR the weight requirement. How professional…how great indeed.

If the fight finally happens, I would like to host it. Friday night before the soccer world cup starts in Johannesburg. You fellow bloggers can sleep at my house for free should you wish to come over.

If Floyd is so confident he can beat the Pac, then he should honor the catch weight and agree to a 70-30 split for the winner, with a stipulation that the fighter who does not make weight pays $1M for every pound in excess, and a waiver to the 70% cut and instead just get 50% of the pie should he win.

Floyd should have no problems with these stipulations if he is even worth half of of what he says. If he doesn’t agree, then we all know he just wants to make money of the Pac and is just making excuses not to fight him.

November 19, 2009 at 5:39 pm

Omari yeah and marquez always fought at that weight before and de la hoya wasn’t over the hill yet and hatton is just hatton. shut up cause you do not know what you are talking about. its obvious that your either just a fan of mayweather or pacquiao. just the same as the cotto fans were saying that cotto was gonna do this and do that.All of you are just jockers. Just let the fight happen instead of just showing that your a groupie.

that applies to pacquiao fans as well stop being a groupie.

Mayweather as his representative said is the new dance partner of Pacquiao. Problem, is Pacman does not dance. He destroys his opponent and sends them to the Hospital.

But, its not surprise news. There three things Mayweather can be expected to do. 1. He will price himself out of the fight to preserve his undefeated record against whimps. 2. He will run away like Cotto and will dancing around the ring from end to end avoiding a fight. 3. He may have the courage to go down and kiss the canvass like a servant of Master Pacman.

Since MP started stepping up the plate until he reached the 7th World Boxing Title, i never had doubts he will lose due to only one dimensional reason and i still believed it will happen between this fight. You wanna know? or you have it already in your mind! and perhaps somebody has written about it.

It is all about FEAR, and Manny P had prints on his shorts during some of his fights. When his (MP) opponent (including FMJ this time) stepped inside the ring, they all had that FEAR inside and that it were just a matter of time they get knocked out. This anxiety that lives in the minds and gets into the veins penetrating the heart of the fighter will in no doubt change the rhythm, catches him point-blank like a series of tornados and lightnings coming from nowhere. This will be the worst FMJ has to overcome, being not having been washed out before.

JMM had it, but I salute him for having that guts! I don’t see it on FMJ.

FMJ talked about money, split, P4P King, he’s toughest .. .all by himself (expletive), bragging!!!.

For MP, his coach, promoters (but not at this time, he already answered the question, “For the record, YEAH”) and the fans do the talking of who will be his next opponent. (in some instances, MP picked his opponent during post fight interviews.)

Now that FMJ had MP’s “….YEAH”, I believe 40-40 split is fair, and the winner will take the rest.

Floyd bigmouth will surely loss to Pacman if the fight will push-thru.His running style will be met by Pacman’s left and right hands speed and power , body and leg work stamina,brain and tough body structure even if he is much smaller than the big mouth Floyd.
