American promoter Bob Arum charged that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is
scared to fight Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, who could ruin his unbeaten ring record of 40 victories.
The 32-year-old American was undoubtedly the pound-for-pound king before his retirement but Pacquiao’s continued success as he rises up the weights now has him firmly in the argument with opinion now split on who is the better fighter.
Mayweather insisted he was the better man earlier this week, and he said Pacquiao was afraid to face him.
“You have to understand Mayweather’s psyche. Psychologically he may not be prepared to do this fight,†said Arum in an interview with Planet-f1.com.
“Now this is me being an amateur psychologist, but Mayweather is so tied up with the fact that nobody has beaten him, that he has a zero on his record, I don’t know if he would be willing to go into the ring with anybody that could jeopardize that zero.†- Philippine Star
