Floyd Mayweather Jr. still afraid of Pacquiao?

After Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Canelo Alvarez via unanimous decision last September 15, 2013 opened up and answered some questions.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is still not interested fighting Manny Pacquiao. And it's clear that Floyd still has fear of getting defeated.

“I want to take my promotion to another level. I am not thinking about Manny Pacquiao,”

Many of the boxing fans around the world still criticize Floyd Mayweather Jr. ford ducking Pacquiao. Floyd Mayweather Jr. also admitted that he handpicked his opponents.

Before the fight against Canelo Alvarez Floyd said during the conference together with the reporters.


"Sometimes they say, 'Well, Floyd Mayweather's opponents was handpicked.' That's a good thing. I commend my team ... when I sit back and I think about my career, I say 'you know what? I had a cool career. I didn't take any punishment"

So Floyd Mayweather Jr. was avoiding potential fighters that has the ability and skills to defeat him. Or worse fighters that could destroy his boxing career one of them is Manny Pacquiao.

As a boxing fans athlete's like Floyd don't earn my respect. And might as well not be considered as one of the best boxers of all time. If you love your fans and the sport then do it for the fans and not for fame and money.

Anderson Silva: Who is Floyd Mayweather?

Anderson "The Spider" Silva was clear on his joke that he was disrespecting the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr.

"Who is this guy? Mayweather what?" Silva said this when answering a question from Sway Calloway . 

This guy is, uh, Smurfy? Is he a Smurf?" Silva continued with another joke.
"I don't know this guy,"

Anderson Silva kept adding more jokes as the conversation went on. And Silva said and direct statement that he doesn't respect Floyd.

"I don't need to talk too much because the guy don't respect me…Sorry, I don't respect Mayweather."

This is very clear that Silva was offended by Mayweather for not respecting him. And who else would not be when you are on Silva's side. Floyd had been talking trash taking to other athlete's from Pacquiao and now to Silva.

It's clear also that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a person who talks a lot and likes to disrespect other athlete's. This time it's on Silva but it would be the person you don't want to piss off with. Silva was like trolling on his answers and showing that not a bit of respect on Floyd.

Anderson Silva is also a trash talker but he respects most of his opponents. He maybe cocky inside the octagon and sometimes being overconfident. But when it comes to respecting others and his opponents He shows a down to earth approach.

The one that made me LOL! was the PAPA SMURF thing. I didn't realize Silva was a joker for saying that punchline. I couldn't imagine the reaction of Calloway in fact it was damn priceless.

If both of this fighters will fight and collide inside the ring. I am pretty sure Silva would come out as the victorious one. Boxing is a totally different sport when it comes to MMA and Floyd would end up battered and beaten down.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Miguel Cotto Predictions

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Vs Miguel Cotto is an great match were in both fighters possess the top quality skills of boxing. And also this would be one of those awaited match in the history of boxing. As the undefeated Mayweather would defend his unblemished record against one of the best boxers in the light middle weight division. And Miguel Cotto would defend his WBA Super light middleweight title against Mayweather Jr.

The fight would happen on May 5,2012 on Las Vegas Nevada


Tale of the tape:
Floyd Mayweather                        Miguel Cotto
Age: 35                                         Age:31
height: 5'8                                    height: 5'7
Reach: 72"                                   Reach: 67"

Both fighters are seemingly close with it comes to statistics. But Miguel Cotto has the youth advantage over Mayweather. While Floyd has the reach advantage also against Miguel Cotto.

MY PREDICTION:

Both fighters display great awareness on each other. They would recognize each presence in the early rounds. Miguel Cotto would still use that basic jab punches of him which is also a good tool and advantage for him. Cotto has great Jab punch compared to Mayweather based on the fights that they have. But Floyd will also rely on this quickness and speed to counter Cotto's attack and also evade them.

If Cotto can't knock out Floyd Mayweather Jr or have a very dominating performance.Then the fight would go to distance and it would end up into the hands of the judges.  But if Cotto could build that momentum and Floyd would also exchange punches then it's gonna be a very entertaining match to watch.  Floyd has to be careful also since Cotto has great defense and attack power. While Cotto has to be aware of those sneaky punches and counter hooks that Floyd will also use against him.
