"Not true. This fight here will be one of my son's easiest fights," stated world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., who responded to recent comments made by his former pupil, Golden Boy Promotions founder Oscar De La Hoya. Mayweather Sr. took offense to De La Hoya suggesting that his son, undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, was forced into making the long-awaited mega-fight with 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao.
"My son was not forced at all to take the fight. He wanted to. The only thing my son is forced to do is whoop Manny's ass," Floyd Mayweather Sr. added before revealing his latest poem that he's been working on for the occassion. It appears Mayweather Sr. has something to say to all the naysayers who had doubts that his son was willing to step into the ring with Pacquiao.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. LATEST POEM:
Skip Bayless? Skip to my lou
The Mayweathers are coming through
I thought you knew
Man, who the hell were you talking to
Maybe you should pay more attention
And make less mention
For one, I heard your comments about my son
Who's second to none, number one
And throws punches like a machine gun
You said he was scared to fight
Then all that changed over night
When it comes boxing, Floyd is the light
Skip Bayless and the other guys
They should all apologize
For telling America all those lies
The fight is signed, sealed, delivered and almost done
Lil Floyd once again will overcome
And still remain number one
