It is the exciting season for the boxing world..
Undefeated Boxing Champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. as interviewed by the media said, “Manny Pacquiao…yes you’re the next! We only want to fight the biggest and the best out there”. He affirmed these statements during his promotional tour in Los Angeles on to advertise his upcoming fight against WBC Welterweight Boxer Victor Ortiz on June 30, 2011.
The boxing analyst thought that at last, Pacquiao and Mayweather will set up their signatures on the dotted line, tie up he gloves, and show their skill in boxing as to prove of who is the best fighter in the world.
Earlier to the statement he uttered in Los Angeles, Floyd once said he “absolutely want to fight Manny”. But it seems that Floyd will not engage the Filipino dervish if he successfully defeat Victor Ortiz this Saturday, September 17th in Las Vegas.
During his recent media workout in his very own boxing gym in Las Vegas, he added, “I never said Manny Pacquiao is next. Stop putting words in my mouth. Nothing is a precursor”. Floyd possesses a history of self oppositions where he says one thing the other day and mouths something different the next day.
He also mentioned his fight with Manny remains one of his leftovers. Included in his list are Oscar dela Hoya and Ricky Hatton. Didn’t Mayweather fight Juan Manuel Marquez, who had to go up beyond the comforts of the lightweight limit? Pacquaio and Marquez fought twice. Does that fact make him a Pacquiao leftover?
He refuses telling Pacquiao’s success at higher weight classes were supported by unnatural and illegal substances. But he clearly implied that when he said “the Philippines got the best performance-enhancing drugs” during a radio interview in late 2009.
