Floyd Mayweather Says Manny Pacquiao Will Make a New Excuse If He Loses in a Potential Rematch

Floyd Mayweather may not enter the ring against his former foe Manny Pacquiao again. However, that doesn’t stop him from demeaning the Filipino legend’s chances in a possible rematch. While Mayweather could outpoint Pacquiao in 2015, many fans urged them to lock horns once again.

However, it didn’t materialize, and the rematch remained relevant only for the fantasy debates. Although 42-year-old ‘Pac’Man’ is still active and taking the best challenges, 44-year-old Floyd Mayweather still chose to ridicule him. Prior to his own return against Logan Paul, Mayweather spoke with the media and shed opinion on a potential rematch with Manny Pacquiao.

“I beat Manny Pacquiao so easy. Don’t say no 8-4, 10-2. 10-2!. And guess what? They’ve always got an excuse. ‘Oh, my shoulder.’ But let’s run it back. If we run it back, guess what he’s gonna do? Have another excuse,” said Floyd Mayweather (H/T- badlefthook.com)

Pacquiao’s current conditioning might see him land an upset. The eight-division world champion will return against undefeated welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. in a headliner on August 2021. While fighters of his age are retiring or competing in exhibitions, ‘Pac’Man’ is still a threat to the professional elites.
