Its been about three weeks since the historic Mayweather/Pacquiao fight and every day since, there has been a new development surrounding the fighters. In today’s update, Pacquiao shoots down Mayweather’s insults and calls him the real coward! Click more to read the full story!
At first, Floyd was open to the idea of a rematch against Manny Pacquiao but after sending that txt message to Stephen A. Smith, he changed his mind on the matter. Once he had time to let Manny’s comments about the fight settle in, he decided he would not give Manny another shot and called him a coward for blaming the loss on his injured shoulder.
Many people in and out of the boxing world agreed that Manny’s complaint of a hurt shoulder was in-fact a cop out for losing the fight; but, you also have those die hard supporters like Skip Bayless who agreed that Manny was not at 100% during the fight. Recently though, Manny fired back at Floyd Mayweather for calling him a coward.
Manny’s argument in calling Floyd the real coward was that he ran through the entire fight, “Let’s not fan the fire that he’s saying I’m a coward. The one who ran is the coward.” Cowardice or smarts in the ring to avoid getting hit? It still amazes me how fighters will complain about Floyd dodging punches after watching all of his fights. The guy’s fighting style has not changed over the years so why would it for one single fight?
Either way though, I’m almost positive that this is not the last time we will hear about a new development between Floyd and Manny. Perhaps this is another build up to Mayweather/Pacquiao II.
