FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR.:

"I'm going to be honest with you man, watching him against Cotto, I don't even think he is a good fighter no more. You know what I took away from the Cotto fight? Pacquiao can't fight at all man. That man don't move his headÂ…when Cotto still had his wits and was ducking underneath and moving his head, Pacquiao couldn't touch him. Pacquiao couldn't hit me if I was asleep. He is strong and fast, but that man can't fightÂ…I'm going to tell you exactly what I saw out of Pacquiao. He throws the same combinationÂ…Lil Floyd is miles ahead of Pacquiao in the skills department! If they make that fight, Lil Floyd got something for him," stated world-renowned trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. as he shared his thoughts on Manny Pacquiao's performance in his recent win over Miguel Cotto and what will happen if he does indeed face his son, Floyd Mayweather Jr. Check it out!

PC: How have you been feeling Big Floyd?

FM: I have been doing good man. Everything is going good right now.

PC: Last time we talked, you were getting into it with some Pacquiao fans at the weigh-ins. You are not very high on the Filipino Christmas card list. Did you end up okay from all of that?

FM: Oh, yeah, yeah! Man, you go to some of these fights and almost end up getting in a fight yourself. I wouldn't let it get to that, but you know how it is; they yelling stuff out and making a big commotion, but ain't nothing happen.

PC: Did Lil Floyd attend the Pacquiao-Cotto fight?

FM: Nah, he didn't go. Lil Floyd barely watches fights, let alone go to them. He was doing his thing. Like I said man, you go to those events and you damn near get into a fight yourself.

PC: I understand you were sitting next to Shane Mosley.

FM: Yeah! Me and Shane had a civil conversation man. We were talking about the fights.

PC: What did you think about the Pacquiao-Cotto fight?

FM: I think Cotto started the fight off well. He was using his jab well and outboxing Pacquiao early, but he couldn't maintain it and he let Pacquiao start walking him down. He tagged Pacquiao a couple of times, but Pacquiao walked through it.

PC: You told me before that you thought Pacquiao was a good fighter, but you just didn't think he could touch Lil Floyd. Do you still feel that way?

FM: I'm going to be honest with you man, watching him against Cotto, I don't even think he is a good fighter no more. You know what I took away from the Cotto fight? Pacquiao can't fight at all man. That man don't move his head for shit and when Cotto still had his wits and was ducking underneath and moving his head, Pacquiao couldn't touch him. Pacquiao couldn't hit me if I was asleep. He is strong and fast, but that man can't fight for shit man. I'm going to tell you exactly what I saw out of Pacquiao. He throws the same combination: right hook, right hook and drop a left hand behind that. That's it! Lil Floyd is miles ahead of Pacquiao in the skills department! If they make that fight, Lil Floyd got something for him.

PC: So you are even less impressed with Pacquiao's latest run?

FM: Man, let me tell you something man. Freddie Roach hasn't taught Pacquiao shit! That man still don't move his damn head and he still drops his hands after he throws combinations. He can try that Superman shit of putting his hands in the air if he wants to; he would be flying alright! Pacquiao can't fight man, I'm telling you!
