There is probably no reason why the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Fight should not happen. However, it is always fun to talk about why it should happen soon before the two fighters' knee bones sound like rice crispies. After taunting each other on social media like Twitter and Instagram, Manny and Floyd are stepping their insults. This time, one of them is commenting about the other's fighting style.
Talking to Ben Thomson of FightHype, Floyd Mayweather Jr. slammed Manny Pacquiao's fighting style saying the Filipino's preference of attack and defense is what led to his doom vs Manuel Marquez.
"It's not called slugging; it's called boxing. I mean, that's what happened in the [Juan Manuel] Marquez fight. You was [sic] trying to play tough guy and we see what happened. It's about working smarter, not harder," said the undefeated American fighter of Manny Pacquiao.
"When he (Manny Pacquiao) was fighting Brandon Rios, he wasn't slugging. He was boxing. It's obvious he must know that he's not going to win. He feels that in his heart. Like every other fighter trying to bait me into slugging, that's not going to happen. Even though I know I'm bigger and I'm stronger than him, and I'm smarter than him, we don't believe in taking no punishment."
Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight talks are not only about the chance of them seeing on the boxing slugging it out every round. The two fighters also contend for the title as this generation's most important boxing personality. For Floyd, he is more popular than Pacquiao.
"Listen, I'm truly, truly blessed to be where I'm at and I'm very thankful for the fans. He's talking about the fans this and the fans that. It's obvious the fans must love me more because the pay-per-view numbers are showing who's getting the most love," Mayweather countered.
As of today, there are no contracts yet regarding the possible Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight. Both camps have already expressed that they are willing to make the fight happen by next year.
