Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. sees Manny Pacquiao as being under-equipped in the power department for him to hope that he can beat his son Floyd Mayqeather Jr. It’s possible that Floyd Sr. sees the 35-year-old Pacquiao as being not strong enough to get the job done against Mayweather Jr. due to Pacquiao not having knocked out an opponent for past 5 years since his stoppage win over Miguel Cotto in 2009.
That’s a fight that really was a questionable stoppage because Cotto was still fighting back in the 12th round, and the referee jumped in and stopped it after Pacquiao put a few punches together that got the crowd excited for a moment. Pacquiao’s last real knockout win was over a weigh-drained Ricky Hatton in May of 2009, and at that point it’s possible that a lot of fighters would have been able to knock Hatton out due to the weight that he’d taken off during training camp.
Floyd Sr. said to On the Ropes Boxing Radio “How are you gonna whoop Floyd with no power? That was the only thing he had going when they were talking before, that he may have a lucky chance to hit my son and get my son out. Now what he got in him now, what he fought that guy [Brandon Rios] with, he ain’t gonna whoop my son, period. He’s gonna get his a** tore up. I’m telling you the truth. He don’t have a chance.”
