A fight between the Filipino superstar and the legendary Floyd Mayweather Jr. (that?s been several years in the making) has been hinted at by both sides but the two men have mostly been preoccupied verbally sparring on social media. Mayweather attacked Pacquiao a week ago, posting a looped video of him being knocked down by Juan Manuel Marquez in a fight Pacquiao lost by KO in 2012. The ?Pacman? responded by taunting that ?TBE? (a moniker of ?The Best Ever? Floyd has given himself) stands for ?The Best Excuses?. This week, none other than Juan Manuel Marquez weighed in, giving his thoughts in an interview on ESPN Deportes: ?People will blame Mayweather if the Pacquiao fight does not happen,? Marquez told ESPN. ?If Floyd wants to be known as the best fighter ever, he needs to demonstrate it by taking this fight and beating the man who was considered the pound for pound best for many years in Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather needs to stop posting videos and pictures on social media mocking Pacquiao and just take the fight. After the fight he can say whatever he wants but until then, the most important thing is accepting the fight!?
