Eddie Mustafa Muhammad picks up Floyd Mayweather over Victor Ortiz and Manny Pacquiao – Boxing news
Trainer Eddie Mustafa Muhammad reckons the five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather is the best boxer in the world at the moment.
The Pretty Boy, Floyd Mayweather, who is currently the WBC Emeritus World Super Welterweight Champion, is set to take on the Vicious, Victor Ortiz, the current WBC World Welterweight Champion on September 17, 2011 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Muhammad thinks Ortiz is going to be a complete mismatch for the American.
He told the media Victor Ortiz does not stand any chance against the unbeaten pugilist, Mayweather, who has won all of his 41 fights including 25 by the way of a knockout.
While speaking on his inclusion, he said, “He has two chances; slim and none.”
Floyd has said he will take on the eight-division world champion, Manny Pacquiao, after he stops Ortiz, provided Pacquiao agrees on the drug test.
Muhammad however thinks Mayweather can also rip off the Fighting Pride of Philippines, Manny Pacquiao, who is currently the WBO Welterweight World Champion.
Though the trainer, who predicted Bernard Hopkins over Jean Pascal, admitted the Mayweather-Pacquiao bout will be a highly anticipated war, he remarked Mayweather is the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world as compared to him and he will beat Pacquiao
if the fight happens.
He said, “No doubt, Floyd is the best fighter out there, bar none. Say what you want to say about Pacquiao, I give Pacquiao all his props, because he carried boxing, but as far as pound-for-pound, Floyd is the pound-for-pound best boxer. If I’m not mistaken
there are 41 guys who tried to beat Floyd and 41 guys who failed. To me he’s still the best out there.”
“All said and done it would be a terrific fight, I just see Floyd picking him apart. Pacquiao’s going to have his moments, it won’t be a runaway, but I see Floyd picking him apart,” he added.
Mayweather is certainly one of the best boxers in the world but let’s see how much of Muhammad’s prediction proves true.
