AFTER accusing Manny Pacquiao of using steroids, Floyd Mayweather Sr. has attacked the pound-for-pound king once again. After watching his son Floyd Jr. win a unanimous decision shutout over world champion Juan Manuel Marquez last Sunday, Floyd Sr. believes that Floyd Jr. will beat Pacquiao if ever they get to face each other inside the ring.
Floyd Sr. wants Floyd Jr. to fight Pacquiao next because he is confident of his son’s boxing skills, which he believes are much more superior to Pacquiao’s.

“I want him to fight Pacquiao,” Floyd Sr. said in a report posted at Fanhouse.com. “He don’t have no skills—he ain’t got skills like my son.”
Last week, Floyd Sr. accused the 30-year-old Gen. Santos native of steroid use, which he believes contributed to his ring success in his abrupt move to different weight divisions.
Pacquiao is considering filing charges against Floyd Sr. for his false allegations against him.
On the other hand, famed boxing trainer Freddie Roach has accepted Pacquiao’s decision of training in Baguio City.
“I’m ok with training here, as long as Manny is happy with the conditions, for sure it will be okay with me too,” said Roach in a report posted at ABS-CBN website.
At first Roach was hesitant of Pacquiao’s choice of Baguio City as his training ground for his upcoming Nov. 14 fight with World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, because he thinks that Pacquiao’s fans might be a distraction to his preparation.
Roach arrived last Tuesday in the Philippines along with conditioning coach Alex Ariza, Wild Card chief of security Rob Peters and two sparring partners.
Pacquiao will be gunning for a record-breaking seventh division world title as Cotto will be putting his WBO welterweight title along with the vacant World Boxing Council Diamond belt on the line.
