By Liam Santiago: Floyd Mayweather Snr has hinted again that he believes that World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao might be using steroids. Speaking to the New York Post, Mayweather stated that given the circumstances he would not like his son to fight Pacquiao. He said, ”I have my own personal reasons. I don’t think little Floyd should fight Pacquiao. I’ll just say that. I’ll let you figure it out.”. Mayweather had previously stated that he thought Pac-Man was using steroids.

I am not going to say I think Pacquiao is on steroids because it is not my place to. I believe the reason for his great recent wins are because of very careful matchmaking at the right time. Cotto was finished and dead at the weight. And, for anyone who says, ”two pounds makes no difference”, ask yourself then, why did Pacquiao’s camp demand the two pounds came off. If it makes no difference why not fight Cotto at 147? Not only was Cotto weight drained, he was also shot. The beating he took of Margarito was far too recent (it was only two fights previous). Most of the times Pacquiao has been knocked out or beaten are a long time ago so he has had time to recover.

Personally, I still see Miguel Cotto as the WBO welterweight champion. Why? Because he was permitted from fighting at his welterweight limit. Also, since when did the challenger demand what weight the champion comes in at? I strongly believe that, even though Cotto was shot, he would still knock out Pacquiao at 147. Is no one noticing a trend here? Every opponent of Pacquiao comes in weight drained.

However, Mayweather will not stand for any of that bol*ocks. He fights at 147 and that is what he will fight Pacquiao at. When he weighed in at 147 to fight Marquez, that was not to give him an advantage over Marquez. It was to send a messege to Pacquiao and Bob Arum that he will not be standing for any crazy weight demands. If only De La Hoya and Cotto would stand up to Pac Man like Mayweather.

I am receiving many comments regarding why I have not quit. This is why. Cotto was beaten by weight demands, not Pacquiao, so in my eyes, Pacquiao never beat him.
