Floyd Mayweather Jr’s racism-laden diatribes against Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao can only come from a man totally afraid of his own ghost.
Like I said, Mayweather needs Pacquiao to make him relevant even if he does not intend to fight the Filipino champion at all.
Mayweather likes to pull the rug from under the feet of Pacquiao, his bitter rival as the world’s best pound for pound boxer.
The flamboyant, albeit irascible, American wants to have the stage all by his self. And with attention of boxing fans shifting to the Pacquiao-Margarito fight, Mayweather has to make a noise in order to remind the public that he is still America’s best boxer.
Mayweather is afflicted with attention-deficiency disorder, a sickness borne out of insecurity.
Despite his successes atop the ring and the money that he earned over the years, Mayweather really has not endeared himself with boxing fans.
He loves his bad boy of boxing image. He wants to dictate the terms of his every fight. And he handpicks his opponents. He dodges every boxer he thinks has the chance of beating him. That is why Mayweather has yet to come up with a respectable boxing writer that will crown him the greatest of his era.
All that because Manny Pacquiao is standing in his way.
Pacquiao is the anti-thesis of Mayweather. Pacquiao does not trash talk his opponents. He takes on all competition physically bigger than him. All the fighters Mayweather avoided, Pacquiao fought and destroyed.
Those Pacquiao traits make Mayweather sick.
He made a fool out of himself when he accused Pacquiao of using performance enhancing drugs but failed to offer tangible proof.
Now, he just dug his own grave by launching a vitriolic attack on Pacquiao’s Asian and Filipino race.
Mayweather will never be the same again. He just threw away whatever decency he had in him.
The only way to redeem his self and get out of the grave of ignominy is to fight Pacquiao. But I doubt if Mayweatehr has the stomach to do that.
