FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. RESPONDS TO DE LA HOYA: “ONLY THING MY SON IS FORCED TO DO IS WHOOP MANNY”

“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 found 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
