'He's so one-dimensional,' says Jeff Mayweather
MANILA, Philippines – A boxing trainer and relative of former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather criticized Manny Pacquiao for the latter's “unimpressive” performance against Shane Mosley over the weekend.
Boxing trainer Jeff Mayweather, uncle of Pacquiao’s closest rival Floyd Jr., belittled the Filipino superstar's effort against the evasive Mosley in their 12-round welterweight title bout.
"He's so one-dimensional it's ridiculous. And when he got really aggressive, he threw a hook, left-hand, hook, left-hand. Nothing else. That was the only thing that he did… And he couldn't hardly even hit Shane,” he said in Examiner.com.
Pacquiao successfully defended his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight crown in that fight by winning a lopsided decision over Mosley.
“Occasionally, he (Pacquiao) would throw a body shot but it was so rare,” added Mayweather, a former professional boxer.
‘No chance vs Floyd Jr.’
Mayweather told Pacquiao that he might as well drop plans to fight Floyd Jr. if he keeps fighting that way.
"Believe me, if Pacquiao fights like that, he has no chance at all. Zero chance. I mean, first of all, he couldn't hit Mosley and Mosley isn't a great defensive fighter,” said Floyd’s uncle.
He added that Floyd Jr. would simply eat Pacquiao alive if the Filipino fights the same way he did in the Mosley bout.
“With the speed and timing that Floyd has, and the defense that he has, if he couldn't hit Mosley, he sure ain’t going to hit Floyd, so I see an easy fight for Floyd," Mayweather said.
Blaming Mosley
Mayweather, meanwhile, also blamed Mosley for being on the defensive for most part of the fight.
"The fight could have been better if Shane was willing to take chances, but it seemed like once he got dropped, he went strictly into survival mode and become way too friendly… And I already knew in the 12th round. they was gonna hug each other like they were best friends,” he said.
“I didn't understand that at all. Both fighters, before every round, touched gloves. After every round, they touched gloves,” Mayweather added.
Mayweather said fans were naturally disappointed with the bout.
“It didn't make for a good fight when two guys are getting paid that kind of money and they are that friendly as though they really don't want to hurt one another,” he said.
