Floyd Mayweather Sr. indeed has a solid credibility... at least when it comes to talking. I remember the scene in Rush Hour between Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker and another Chinese-wannabe black guy where the Chinese-wannabe is talking to Jacky Chan in the Chinese language saying that Chris Tucker is 7-11 [the 24/7 convenient store] which means he never closes his mouth as he always talk just like 7-11 not closing their convenient stores 24/7. The same is true with Mayweather Sr. as he is a carbon copy of Chris Tucker on that particular role. Now I'll baptist him the monicker, Floyd "The 7-11" Mayweather Sr.

According to The 7-11, his son will just toy with Manny Pacquiao [and Marquez as well] if the two meet in the ring. Hmm... Although that may be true knowing 7-11 Jr. [or better yet let's call Floyd Mayweather Jr. as The Ministop being a younger 24/7 convenient store than 7-11] to dance and run a lot away from the fighter. So on that note, yeah, I agree with 7-11 Sr.

But Ministop supplementing 7-11's statement by saying Pacquiao and Marquez are too small and will beat them both according to a news report in Inquirer.net. This I don't believe is true... For now, it's a 50-50 chance to both fighters although of course being a Pinoy, I'm rooting for Pacman. I mean, yeah, Ministop may be bigger than Pacquiao but Freddie Roach is a very wise trainer and will be able to study Ministop as easy as the 10 boxers that Pacquiao beaten in a row.

I wonder when will 7-11 shut up? Hmmm... I bet when Manny "With an infinite monicker" Pacquiao beat the hell out of Floyd "The Pretty Boy" Mayweather Jr. That is IF the two boxers meet on the ring which is impossible as Roach said in his previous interviews [which for me as a businessman myself is just a strategy to create a buzz and increase the revenues that all of them will get then the bout between the two will push through].

"I've lost twice and I've lost to the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, it's not a bad way of looking at it, but I'm devastated. I would not have put my money on that happening." - Ricky Hatton during an interview on Monday according to http://ph.news.yahoo.com/.

I do hope that no British National bet their houses and entire savings on him as he suggested during his interviews prior to fight night as they could all have shared the same devastation. That's why Manny's style of letting his actions [fists] do the talking is better than talking like a machine gun all day, all night. The same is true of course to other endeavors like business, investing, employment, basketball, golf, billiards, etc. aside from boxing.

At least, even Hatton is kinda talkative, he's still friends with Pambansang Kamao and I bet my sister's life [good thing I don't have a sister] that he'll root for The Destroyer should the bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao happen on October 2009. But unlike their fight, this is going to be a longer one as Pretty Boy is more like a runner than a boxer as he runs more than box unlike The Hitman. But in the end, I believe the same fate will happen... The Pretty Boy kissing the canvass. I hope Manny do well on their fight as he had for the last 10 fights.

After the devastating lost of Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton [makes me wonder why "The Hitman", is it because he gets hit all the time or he hits his opponents all the time, peace] against Manny "The Retirement King" Pacquiao, Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather Jr. is creating a buzz again by being talkative just like his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr. about his upcoming fight to Marquez, his position as the "real" pound for pound king, Pacman, etc.

If it's just on me, I don't like a Mayweather-Marquez fight because if the talkative Floyd loses to Marquez, then who will Pacman fight next? Marquez? For me, there's already nothing to prove for Marquez as we already seen how this Mexican kissed the canvass a couple of times because of Pacquiao and although the first bout between the two led to a controversial draw, Manny was victorious on their second meeting. If Pretty Boy loses to Marquez then there's already nothing to prove for Pacquiao as fighting a "defeated" Mayweather can no longer claim his "Pound-for-Pound" status. If he loses, it only shows that Pacquiao is indeed the new pound for pound king today.

I read in Wikipedia, that Mayweather Jr. considered Ricky Hatton as the toughest fighter he has fought because he comes forward all the time. If he already considered Hatton to be tough, then talking publicly that Manny is not a strong fighter is B.S. as Pacman can be as forward as he can be and can be as tactical as he wants to be in his current boxing state.

What do you think of Flawed este Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather Jr.'s decision of fighting Juan "Dinamita" Marquez on his return from retirement instead of fighting Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao?

My wife and I woke up around 11am yesterday [May 3] and went straight to fixing our cellphone to tune in to the live boxing between Pacman and Hitman via mobile streaming the same way we did in Pacquiao's last 2 fights prior to Hatton.

When finally after a gruesome 15 minutes of trying and re-trying to connect, we connected and sakto Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton is already coming inside the ring. So yeah, we missed the Pambansang Awit that was sang by none other than the concert king himself - Martin Nievera which happens to be the first male singer of our national anthem in boxing [as I've heard in a news report].

I'm not really a professional boxing analyst but minutes before the fight started I told my wife that in the first round someone will fall and will be able to come back up. I remember her saying, "Ano ka si Nostradamus? Detalyado pa ang prediction mo eh noh!" because we have a documentary of Nostradamus. My predictions are based on the statements of both camps and it did happen, not just once but twice in the first round. Actually it was supposed to be 3x if Hatton haven't embraced Pacquiao the first time. I said, this will not stretched til the 7th round and 10 seconds left in round 2, the inevitable happened, Hatton is sleeping on the job [see photo above].

Both fighters definitely have the skills but prior to a fight, being more quiet is still the safest way to do it. Kumbaga sabi nga ng mga successful people in every industry, "Winners act more and talk less" and this is true even in boxing plus the fact that it will save you the humiliation should you come short in your objectives just like Ricky came very very short. If he just kept his mouth shut and just focused all his energy in envisioning of beating Manny, then that could have been more productive as everything we do, we exert energy. And energy should not be wasted especially via boastful talking. But, still, my respect to Ricky Hatton as he is one of the few boxers Manny Pacquiao has fought that is a friend to The Destroyer [I hope he will still be after this].

The Mexicutioner has already won 6 different titles in different weight classes - 112 lbs, 122 lbs, 126 lbs, 130 lbs, 135 lbs [according to this Yahoo article] and just yesterday 140 lbs. This put Manny in the likes of Oscar Dela Hoya which also won 6 different titles in different weight classes while Sugar Ray Leonard with 5 titles.

This fight "could" be a cue for the retirement of Ricky Hatton if he does, he can focus on drinking beer which he like very much. Maybe he could come to the Philippines and fight Pinoys in a beer drinking contest, maybe just maybe he could win over Pinoys. Although that is highly unlikely as Pinoys love drinking beers and other liquors as well... To Manny "The Retirement King" Pacquiao who won almost PhP1,000,000,000, congratulations!
