Floyd Mayweather (snr) has responded to Freddie Roach’s barbs this week by saying he believes Pacquiao could be knocked out by his son on May 2.
Mayweather (snr) began by referring specifically to Pacquiao being knocked out by Juan Manuel Márquez in 2012.
“Of course, any time somebody’s been knocked ice cold like that, man, of course they can get knocked out again – quick, fast and in a hurry,” Floyd snr said.
That view is endorsed by Roy Jones jnr, who says that Mayweather is ‘still dangerous’ offensively.
Jones believes Mayweather may rely more on his power than he has in the past to defeat Pacquiao, and may sit down on his punches in this fight.
“Mayweather is older, but he has always had power and may use it more in this fight, which is dangerous for Pacquiao.”
“It’s hard to call a winner because there are so many variables. But Floyd’s power is the key.”
Returning to Roach’s criticism of Mayweather snr, Pacquiao’s trainer also said that he thought Mayweather jnr’s uncle, Roger Mayweather, would have been a better coaching option.
