Mayweather Prefers Hiatus to Wasting Time on Manny Pacquiao?
It appears as though Manny Pacquiao may have finally gotten his wish. His biggest threat, Floyd Mayweather Jr., seems to have gotten tired of a boxing world he has long since outgrown.
In a short interview conducted between Zab Judah and On the Ropes Radio, Judah said that Mayweather recently told him that he may be done with the sport.
“I had seen Floyd yesterday and asked, ‘Are you going to get back in there?’ Mayweather told me he’s finished. He said he was just going to chill. He’s thinking about taking a two year break and I mean listen -- The man worked hard for a long time.”
While the decision by the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world would be an unfortunate one for boxing fans, it would certainly be understandable. Mayweather is currently battling a number of legal issues that carry with them the possibility of serious jail time. On top of that, there is simply nobody left in boxing – aside from Pacquiao – who really poses even a mild threat to him.
And, of course, Pacquiao is too busy cherry-picking weaklings and old men to actually accept Mayweather as an opponent. After all, why agree to a fair and stringent PED testing regiment against a capable fighter when you can collect big paydays fighting chumps, right?
While Mayweather may be content at calling this a “break,” a two-year absence from boxing is likely the end of his career. Even though he’s still clearly the best boxer in the world right now, Mayweather’s speed and power will no doubt soon began to deteriorate as a result of his advancing age.
The real loser in all this, though, is Pacquiao. Some of the true boxing afficienadoes held out hope that when the paper champ got tired of fighting has-beens and known cheats, he would finally man up and step into the ring against the one guy all of Top Rank knows can beat him. If Mayweather retires, however, any shot the Filipino pop star has at actually proving himself worthy of the praise constantly thrown at him automatically goes out the window.
Forever.

Real Coward
What a real coward Mayweather is. Pacquiao cherry-picked much bigger and stronger opponents? What a logic!
alex is really one sided....
this writer i hate to say is really one sided...he really hates manny and loves the self proclaimed wife beater and trash talking chicken gayweather...i dont know about this writer but he is really annot\yed to see manny on top of the boxing world right now...this guy writes stuff that are unfounded and full of bias....alez doberman is full of ****..
PBF: Slick African American Coward
P*ssy Boy Floyd has to get in the ring with the PAC before he retires. To say PBF is wasting time on Pacquiao is the most ignorant comment I've ever heard from a writer who claims to be a boxing enthusiast of the sport. Floyd's pattern of excuses has been exposed. He retires when his undefeated record is threatened by superior fighters like Kostya Tszyu, Mosley (prime), Cotto, Margarito, Martinez, Williams and the Filipino midget Pacquiao.
Let me guess???
Let me guess, this writer must be another MONKEY! Only monkeys think their coward boy is the best fighter. LMAO!
lets get in on!
Alex Doberman is a dog! bwahahahahah!
Groberman is a joke
why do we still wonder articles like this appear everyone now and then? purely for catching everyone's attention! just look at the lines of comments, mr writer knows how to get it! Groberman is reaping what you write, hehehe. well, its no excuse groberman is a full pledge floyd fan, a 100% floidroid. he will do anything for floydie's honor even when facts are as bright as the sun mr doberman, i mean Groberman still obviously twists them upright! such an amazement in our eyes! LOL

He thinks quitting will make the nightmares go away...

groberman grow up
save your breath people. the author is playing with us. he knows that punk mayweather is scared. he knows that pacquiao is clean. he knows after watching pacquiao's fights that his brother will get murdered in the ring. the author is just jealous and/or wants hits for his articles. notice how the title of his article was ambiguous. his true colors came out in the article. the title was meant for us to click on it to hear what this straight up racist hater has to say. he should be fired from his desk job. truth is, he can't stand that an asian man is better than his idol.
Pachaters
Mr. Groberman this article shows how biased you are and it only shows that you are a Mayweather Fan, you have said that Manny is "Cherry-picking" opponent, and what about Floyd Jr.? can we categorized Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar Delahoya, Ricky Hatton including Shane Mosley, "Cherry-picked" opponents?? and what about the word "Ducking" can we attach this word to the Best Pound for Pound Boxer in the World (Mr. Groberman Belief) Floyd Jr?.....Cotto, Margarito....and now Pacquiao, i dont know if the right word is "Ducking" when you are avoiding such Fighters, i think the right word for this is "FEAR".
- The True Analysts
Bias much?
Are you really going to call Pacquiao a loser?
Really?
We all know the biggest competition for mayweather is pacquiao there is no doubt in that. But until Manny losses a fight against mayweather you cannot even think about calling him a loser.
Alright, its true mayweather fights pretty smart,(by not doing nothing) but manny fights strategically while giving the viewers a run for their money. So you guys can continue to talk this shit about how Manny punks out and what not, but in the end Manny doesn't care about Mayweather and his dumbass games, he would rather just earn money to help his people in his country
please
Alex Nobrainman... please begging you.. stay away from cocaine..
Alex Groberman must be on drugs
Obviously, Alex Groberman is so fixated with Floyd Mayweather Jr. that he has not been updated about anything else about boxing. Will his mother please tell him that Pacquiao is the #1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world for many years now? Mayweather has been the runner-up to Pacquiao. If Mayweather is not ever #1 now, how can he be the greatest ever? Everybody knows (except Alex Groberman) that FLOYD IS AFRAID OF MANNY. De la Hoya retired after Pacquiao beat him up for eight rounds. Hatton retired after Pacquiao knocked him out in the second round. Mayweather retired even before the bell rang for the first round because he is SCARED.
Alex, if you are reading this, please stay off drugs. Don't hang out with Floyd Mayweather Sr. Drugs are not good for you.
Pacman, a cherry-picker!?!
says who?? oh it's you Alex(who?), and ofc the mother of all cherry-pickers PBF should know huh? well it doesn't matter what you think & no matter what you say, HISTORY will remember Pacman as one of, if not THE GOAT.
A two-year absence from boxing will deteriorate PBFs speed & power you say, cant you see that's his plan? THAT would be his excuse if Pacman beats him if he decided to fight him after the " retirement ".. clever huh?
oh yeah, the REAL loser here...is you! cause Pacman doen't need Floyd..and Pac doesnt give a damn to a bum writer like you cheers :))
Deym!!!!
Deym!!! this writer i good...writing garbage column without thinking. Pac. agreed to all of maychikens demand including blood test during the fight before 6 round.Why is it that almost all good writers (deym) like you are all doubters of the real reasons behind maychikens absence in boxing now a days..tell me....... why? Coz of Legal battle? nope...... Coz he is a Chicken...Coward....He cannot even sleep at night imagining the face of all those Pac previous opponent after the fight. He is Scared to death!!!!!!..anyhow...go just keep on writing garbage column and collect your check.....forget about your journalistic credibility...live like that of your god...KFC
Kentucky Floyd Chicken
Hey Alex Groberman are you in drugs? "The real loser in all this, though, is Pacquiao".
- Pacman won the best boxer of the decade. He is a congressman. He met the former president of US Bill Clinton and now there is a talk with Barack Obama. People loves him. So who's the real loser? Did Floyd Sr. and the rest of the Gayweather clan gave you some drugs?
Wake up!!!
bum
why is it that there are a lot of you BUM writers in the net today? you just don't know boxing. do yourself and the boxing world a favor... SHUT UP!
bum2
everybody knows how chicken mayweather in facing the pacman. oh i see! you're under the gay's payroll. that's why...
another piece of garbage
this is a boycott!!
Mayweather loses.
Pacquiao fights aging fighters and Mayweather doesn't? Pacquiao fought De La Hoya and Mosley about a year after Mayweather did... Give me a break. Mayweather says the fight with didn't happen because Pacquiao didn't agree to the 14 day cut off on blood tests. After Pacquiao made up his mind and agreed to the 14 day cut off, Mayweather decides to "take a break" from boxing. Pacquiao is still getting in the ring, Mayweather is not. So who's ducking who?
ddmana
Sh****t na malakit

If Mayweather retires how can he show that he is the best boxer when he opts to retire rather than fight PAC. Is Mr. Groberman at the payroll of the Mayweather Family. Come on praise then Aleluja so more money will be paid to you by this crazies.
It's Official: Mayweather is Scared Shit of Pacquiao
That should have been the title. Wasting time in proving his real worth against the best opponent and getting his biggest payday? Please. Floyd is running scared, period.
Who writes this stuff
Really, who writes this crap? Floyd is a straight bitch and everybody knows it. No man out there can say he took on a former champ opponent 17lbs heavier and beat the guy beyond recognition other than Pacquiao. The way I see it, Floyd fans will be blind and follow their so called champ. Like the fighter, those fans have no sense nor class. Although I can't say with 100% certainty, Pacquiao would emerge victorious in a bout against Floyd, I can say without a doubt Manny would try. Someone tell Mayweather to pull his pants up because his panties are showing.
Floyd Chickenweather Jr.
41-0 split decision win which he danced around to get with Delahoya running away from him like a scared chicken refusing to rematch knowing he would lose. KFC made Shane Mosley wait 10 years for a freaking fight until he aged. Floyd made Marquez fat and slow and move up two weight classes so dont even give us that crap that manny fights weight drained foes. manny fights whoever is put out there as a challenger. and you know he has been fighting fighters coming off of losses because floyd was the winner of those fights and um they have more pride and dignity then floyd. floyd has made manny fight now 6 different guys stalling and putting out there that manny is on steroids which hes not and just tested his last fight clean. still he makes up "power pellets" cause he is just putting bullcrap out there to ruin manny's name. floyd says they didnt reach out to his people the second time which is total horse crap then why not go after manny you kinow why because floyd is the biggest coward is all of sports history. you are just a typical floyd fanboy with an internet connection and a computer.
No debate! Floyd is Perfect?
Floyd is the best! He never fought aging fighters, or hand picked his opponents. His last two fights were prime examples of what this article is talking about. I agree Floyd has worked very hard. What champion fighter doesnt! Hello! Floyd days he is a Prize fighter. Well here is the biggest prize of them all. According to this article Floyd would handle Pacquiao easily. Then let's do it, get it on! Come get the prize. Manny has lost before, while Floyd has never tasted defeat. For that reason alone Manny is dangerous to Floyd. Manny has no fear of losing. Every champion has to be tested and every Legend will have his battles. So tell Floyd and all his fans put up or shut up. So yes Floyd is perfect. The perfect idiot with all the excuses.
floydiots
nyhahahahha you got it right there opppppsss you forgot something ............ you forgot to say that this writer is also an IDIOTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!! nyhahahahhahah
MR.EXCUSES
i agree 100%...lots of excuses not to fight manny pacman..pacman already agreed your demands...and still you still make and excuse not to face the pacman..this is article is a gayweather fan

-- there will be no fight because the bigger guy is afraid
-- being cocooned in a world of 41-0, is a subtle form of autism ,
indifferent to the assessment of the real world
-- the big guy idolizes the small guy so much that he can't find words to express his admiration, that's why he says the little guy's power is enforced with peds.
-- actually the big guy has already lost by sheer intimidation, afraid to climb the ring. he can ask for a rematch anyway
-- you measure warriors not only by statistical number of wins like 41-0. many warriors were acknowledged of their gallantry even if they lost technically. warriors just fight.this is a manly physical game not a sitting chess game.
-- Boxing is a game of offense, not defense. defense is just a part. if boxing is anchored on defense..hohumm.. forget the game
-- Complicated situations are resolved through simple approach.
ask a simple woman-who is the best in position to judge, who among the two is the coward.
-- should the fight be set outside of the ring (maybe backyard) with no money involved, for sure we know again who will be making excuses.
-- it's in the genes, look how the kins react and behave, same pattern of behavior, it's inherited
Right on the Money.
You are absolutely correct. I'm with you, pdiddy65.

--pacquiao again makes a great move. unselfishfishly giving seven state of the art ambulances (worth 30 million ) to a hospital, in exchange of his services for an advertisement. so ocussed on helping humanity..unlike the other who is deeply mired in the mud of envy, tirade, counting his money, namecalling etc.
--41-0 is just an ordinary number, as many greater and revered boxers have surpassed that stats. stats could be boring and forgettable. But for a supposed to be warrior chickening out.. that's vivid to the mind ..--FOREVER. better to lose but have fought, than not to have fought at all... indeed his memory will go down the ages..."for refusing to fight!"
-- some fighting cocks run in the middle of the game anyway...so with humans.
-- what captures the heart of men is not the number of wins but warrior-heart within. boxing is just an instrument of showing the warrior-heart within.
--pacquiao does not make a litany or assessment of those whom he has beaten. Nor meddle so much with the advertisement, promotional antics etc. he just fights.
--pacman doesn't seem affected by the antics of the other guy, like a shining star he's content with his own brilliance. unlike the other who gains attention by maligning a fellowman. i'ts just a game afteral, why destroy the reputation of others. After the game, win or lose, at least the sweat is released...just like another day passing.
