It’s not Manny Pacquiao’s BWAA awards that hurts Boxing, it’s the Mayweathers that hurt boxing

The latest comments by Floyd Mayweather Sr have officially cemented his status as “mentally insane” in my opinion. You’d think that we’d be used to the personal attacks toward Manny Pacquiao, but it seems that these Mayweathers keep outdoing their previous comments. In Floyd Sr’s latest illogical rant, he says that not only doesn’t Manny deserve to be fighter of the decade, but his winning of this prestigious award is what hurts boxing. Let’s examine Floyd Sr’s comments further: The following Floyd Mayweather Sr quotes are from an interview with Fighthype.com: Why is Blood Testing in Boxing important? ‘What award they gonna give my son when he whoops Pacquiao’ First of all, we’re not even sure if Floyd Mayweather Jr will fight Manny Pacquiao. Last we heard, Floyd Jr was taking 1-2 years off. Personally, I wish Floyd Mayweather Sr would take 1-2 years off from talking to the media. But, if Floyd Jr does win, the he would deserve pound-for-pound best fighter and potentially the BWAA’s ‘Fighter of the Year” award. Once again insults Manny Floyd Mayweahter Sr, doesn’t just believe Manny shouldn’t have won the award, he goes onto publicly insult the man: “Pacquiao ain’t no fu*king fighter of the decade. He is a pu*sy,” I would love for Floyd Mayweather Sr to back up this comment with something logical. Manny has fought tougher fights throughout his career than any member of the Mayweather family. Comparing Records “Pacquiao has 2 draws and a loss in this decade. Lil Floyd is undefeated in this decade and in his career. On top of that, Pacquiao beat 2 guys Lil Floyd already beat and struggled twice with a guy Floyd blanked out 12 rounds to nothing,” Mayweather Sr Floyd fought 7 less fights, won less titles, and retired for over 1 year in the decade. How does that justify “Fighter of the Decade” honors. Also, Floyd Jr fought an older and much smaller Juan Manuel Marquez last year. How about we actually compare what the Floyd Jr and Manny did against Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton since Floyd Sr brought it up? Manny Pacquiao thoroughly dominated both fighters and sent both Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton into permanent retirement. Mayweahter Jr had to go into the late rounds just to get a victory. If you look at the performances from these fights, they clearly favor Pacquiao. It’s a foolish argument from a foolish man
