By Peter Wells: With the mega fight all but finalized between Floyd Mayweather Jr and World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, the haters are back on Floyd’s back and Mayweather is trying to throw it back at them. Mayweather has had plenty of criticism despite nobody beating him in his 40 fights, so you can’t criticize a fighter who hasn’t had a fault in his career so far. But he’ll never silence his critics even if he beats Manny those haters will never show him respect. So Mayweather goes to talking back, making people talk about him and how great he is, most of the time, Mayweather states good points.
In a recent interview with the NY Post, he said that “The media built up Ricky Hatton and Oscar De La Hoya and many others to place a blemish on my perfect record. All of them came up short. And Pacquiao will also come up short.”
Whether the last sentence will be true or not is still to be found out but both Ricky and Oscar were built up by the media to defeat the ‘Pretty Boy’, but both failed.
Despite being the 2nd best boxer on the planet and before retiring he was the best, Mayweather still gets treated like just a contender trying to win over the fans. Still for some reason we don’t know just how great Floyd is, while Manny is already being named an all time great, something doesn’t seem right.
Floyd once again had to tell us all how great he was adding, “I Just know that nobody can beat me, it is what it is. For 14 years they’ve being trying to find a fighter that can beat me and they’ve come up short every time. The thing is there’s no pressure on Floyd Mayweather. Never. Whoever I face there’s pressure on them because they know they’re fighting the best. When you put in hard work and dedicate yourself to your craft whatever your craft might be, you have no worries or pressure”.
So Mayweather believes he still is the best but he has a lot of critics to prove wrong, but only 1 fight to do it in.
