'Cotto has the edge over Pacquiao'—Floyd Sr.
MANILA – Controversial American trainer Floyd Mayweather, Sr. said Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto has the upper hand over pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.
Mayweather said he thinks Cotto will prevail over Pacquiao on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) because he said not all of the boxers knocked out by the Filipino boxing icon were stunned by his speed.
“Cotto has the edge over Pacquiao,” the elder Mayweather told ABS-CBN News.
He even dared Pacquiao and Cotto with the pronouncement, “Whoever wins this Pacquiao-Cotto fight will challenge my boy,” referring to his son, former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd Jr. came out of retirement in May. He remained unbeaten (40-0, with 25 knockouts) after defeating Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez by unanimous decision in September.
Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) will defend his WBO welterweight title against Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The WBC diamond belt will also be at stake. – With a report from Bev Llorente, ABS-CBN North America News Bureau

Mayweather will fail
The gayweathers were wrong again. when they do fight they still wont get it right. mayweather dont have no power in his fist, with speed maybe running away. if he is the best then let him fight a real good middlewight, which he cant coz hes a chickenshit. his father lost to leonard and just like his father he couldnt hurt his opponents.
Mayweather just a challenger to Pacquiuao
Now Floyd will just be a challenger to Manny. He aint even got a welterweight belt to his waist. Fuck the Mayweathers.
Markmaranga!
I suspect that you are not a Filipino but anyway, after the fight do you still have a doubt on Pacman's boxing skills?
I am sure you will side with Floyd the next time but that doesn't bother all of the Filipinos who believe in the Pacman's boxing style.
YOU AGREE WITH HIM?
YO MARK..!!!
ALL WORDS OF MAYWEATHER SR., AGAINST PACMAN AND ROACH FAILED, AND YOU BELIEVED HIM THAT COTTO WILL BE VICTORIOUS?.. HAHAHA.. HE FAILED AGAIN AS WELL AS YOUR BELIEF IN HIM.. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU.. AND ALL YOUR GUESSING THINGS.... HAHAHAHA

The issue is the speaker not the statement.
Mayweather Sr. Video
I saw the Trash-Talker-Floyd-Mayweathers-Sr's video at http://www.cotto-vs-pacquiao.com/ after the Pacquiao-Cotto weigh in at Las Vegas, Nevada. His doesn't give a good explanation on his predictions and most of them failed but this time I agree with him that Miguel Cotto will emerge victorious.
