Floyd Mayweather Sr: Manny Pacquiao Ain't Got Skills Like My Son

After watching his son dominate Juan Manuel Marquez Saturday night, Floyd Mayweather Sr said he came away more convinced than ever that the boxing match everyone wants to see -- Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao -- would be a mismatch.

"I want him to fight Pacquiao," Floyd Sr. said of his son. "He don't have no skills -- he ain't got skills like my son."

Floyd Sr. added, "He's not in Floyd's league -- that's so plain to see that Ray Charles can see it," although it wasn't clear whether Floyd Sr. was referring to Pacquiao or Marquez in that comment.

There's no question that Floyd Jr. thoroughly dominated Marquez while Pacquiao fought him essentially even for 24 rounds. So in that respect, the Mayweather camp has reason to crow. On the other hand, Pacquiao thoroughly dominated both Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, beating them both far more convincingly than Mayweather did. So the debate about who's better, Mayweather or Pacquiao, didn't end on Saturday night.

And that's really why boxing needs the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight to happen: Everyone agrees that these are the two best boxers in the world. We need to see it settled in the ring.
