Floyd Mayweather said he finally watched the Manny Pacquiao – Timothy Bradley rematch and said that the Pacman is more amateurish and beatable than he realized.
Mayweather was quick to emphasize, however, that this doesn't mean he'll be getting in the ring with Pacquiao anytime soon.
“I'm seeing something totally different in Pacquiao,” Maywaether said in a teleconference. “But still, that don't make me say, 'Oh, I'm going to go out there and fight him,' because he's still with Bob Arum and I'm with Mayweather Promotions.”
Mayweather said he saw a lot of regression in Pacquiao's skills in his April 12th decision over Timothy Bradley. This he said, was the the first Pacquiao fight he saw since his rival stopped Miguel Cotto back in 2009.
“I don't see the same pop in Pacquiao's shots – me, myself, I don't see the same snap in his shots,” Mayweather said. “He's getting tired and he wasn't getting tired before. So, I mean, I'm seeing something totally different. Whereas me, I'm still sharp, I'm still smart, I'm not getting fatigued, I wasn't getting fatigued from the beginning.
“Those are the things that I see. I don't know if you guys see it but that's what I see.”
Mayweather didn't spare Bradley any quarter either. He said Bradley looked more like a bodybuilder than a boxer, was fatigued early and basically looked like an amateur.
“I think both fighters fought like amateurs,” Mayweather said. “I thought Pacquiao fought like an amateur also, and I wasn't pleased with his performance. He got the victory the best way he knew how but I wasn't pleased with his performance at all.”
