Pacquiao says Mayweather doesn't want to meet him in boxing's biggest fight

I've seen that fight and even though I don't know shit about boxing it was like dancing for Mayweather. Yeah that Mexican dude might have been past his prime but still. I just don't see how anybody could seriously doubt Mayweather when it comes to winning a welterweight or less boxing fight.
Don't get me wrong, I think dude is an asshole and the typical black cocky ass fucker.
Still, noone can touch him as far as I have observed.

For me, it's not so much doubting Mayweather. He's great and Pacquiao has shown he can be beat but Freddie Roach claims to have the strategy to beat Mayweather. Maybe he's just talking shit but he's said it before with other big name fighters and he's been right. For me it's more about Roach than Manny. If he's got an ace up his sleeve and sees a flaw in Floyd's game that no one has seen yet then Manny could walk out victorious. I believe it when Roach says it and I think the fight could go either way.

This would be the fight everyone wants to see. Here is the thing, Mayweather did beat De La Hoya, but Pacquiao, who is about the same size as Mayweather, knocked him out. Pacquiao is stronger, and has a better offense than Mayweather. Pacquiao is only one of 2 people to knock out De La Hoya, and the other is Hopkins who was much larger than De La Hoya. So it's not a crazy thought to think can Pac-Man beat Money. It's also not crazy to think Money can frustrate Pac-Man and beat him. So it's a fight people want to see and will be a great fight.
Javier:
Of course they're going to fight. The only reason this fight has not been set up is because Pacquiao is fighting Cotto in a few weeks and it would be disrespectful to Cotto if it was set up. This article is just adding more hype to the inevitable fight.

Mayweather fought Oscar at a healthy 154 (although he was past his prime)
Pacquiao fought a drained Oscar at an unhealthy 147 plus a one and a half year later than Mayweather

To 7even
Nobody was really believing that though. People just had hope for a miracle lol. Anybody that truly felt that Marquez had a shot vs Mayweather shouldn't be watching boxing lol.
To Shallow
I'm not believing Roach until I see it happen. Every top trainer and boxer that has faced Mayweather claim to have a secret plan, all of them have failed. Ultimately, I wouldn't be surprised either if Pac-Man beats Mayweather though. I'm dying to see this fucking fight lol
