Boxing: It's the fight the whole world wants to see, but Floyd Mayweather Jr says it wouldn't even be close between himself and Manny Pacquiao. In fact, it would be an "easy fight".
A megabucks showdown with Pacquiao increased in value again when the Filipino superstar battered Miguel Cotto to a 12th-round stoppage with an astonishing performance in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
And now Mayweather/Pacquiao is a bout that could shatter all pay-per-view records if it goes ahead in 2010.
'Money' has been criticised for not fighting the likes of Cotto, Antonio Margarito and now Pacquiao, but while the rest of the boxing world is eulogising over another Manny masterclass, Mayweather Jr remains unimpressed.
In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News, he said: "Manny Pacquiao did what he had to do. All I can say is he's a fighter like I'm a fighter. I don't see no versatility in Manny Pacquiao, I just see a good fighter, a good puncher, but one-dimensional."
Mayweather Jr says he's still waiting for confirmation that Pacquiao actually wants to fight him.
"They asked Manny Pacquiao, 'Would you like to fight Floyd Mayweather?', he said 'ask my promoter'. What do you want to do?
"He was asked again last night, and said: 'I want to take a vacation with my family, talk to my promoter Bob Arum'. This is something the world is trying to force onto him. All he needs to do is step up to the plate."
Mayweather Jr says even if he fights and beats Pacquiao - his only realistic rival for the title of pound-for-pound king - he still won't get the credit he deserves.
"If I beat Manny Pacquiao they'll say 'you're supposed to beat him, you're the bigger man. You supposed to knock him out'.
"When I beat him, people won't be surprised because he's been beaten before. Whatever I do to him has already been done, he's lost three times. He's been knocked out twice before.
"The world will go wild if Floyd Mayweather gets beat, that's what the world is looking to see. What is happening in the sport of boxing, they're trying to make a fighter to beat me. I'm a fighter that's never been beaten. I don't get no respect in the sport of boxing.
"If I go out and make $60-75 million in one night; come on - I'm not losing. Can Manny Pacquiao beat me? No, absolutely no. Easy win, easy fight."
