FLOYD MAYWEATHER ON PACQUIAO'S KO LOSS: "I FEEL BAD FOR HIM...HOPEFULLY HE CAN BOUNCE BACK"

By Ben Thompson | December 10, 2012

"Things happen. You live and you learn. The only thing he can do is rejuvenate himself and bounce back like a true champion," stated undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather, who shared his thoughts on Manny Pacquiao's shocking 6th round knockout loss at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez. Although he has yet to actually see the fight, Mayweather praised the performances of both fighters and offered some words of advice for the 8-division world champion.

"Marquez is a true champion, Manny Pacquiao is a true champion, both of them went out there and put on a good performance, and that's a good thing for the sport of boxing," Mayweather commented. "I wish Pacquiao nothing but the best. I wish that he can bounce back and he can recoup from this. In the sport of boxing, you have to really dedicate yourself to your craft. You have to really, really dedicate yourself to your craft. I think he's got so many different things on the outside that he worries about, you know. But it was a good thing that he was able to come into the sport, you know, piggyback off my name, and get a bunch of endorsement deals and make a good living. That's a great thing."

As far as the mega-fight with the Filipino icon is concerned, Mayweather suggests the manner in which Pacquiao was knocked out probably means he has a lot more to think about, and a long way to go, before that fight is ever a possibility again. "Pacquiao's focus should be trying to take a vacation, get his mind right, and get a few tune-up fights so he can bounce back," he explained. "I'm not here to talk bad about Pacquiao. I feel bad for him, honestly. I really feel bad for him. There's a difference in the ways you can get knocked out. See, when a guy gets knocked out and he can get up, they sit him on his stool, they rub his back, he go home and ice himself, you know, he go to the hospital and get checked out and he's okay, that's one thing. But when you gotta wake a guy up with smelling salt and he got a concussion and he gotta go to the hospital over night, that's crucial. I mean, that's close to the death."

Mayweather added, "Hopefully he's okay. My prayers go out to the Pacquiao family. I know he loves the sport of boxing, so hopefully he can bounce back."

The knockout may have represented the official death of the long-negotiated and anticipated Pacquiao showdown against unbeaten and now-unquestioned pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr.

"The world wants to see these two guys fight again more than it wants to see Mayweather, fighting in his style," Arum said of the defensive-minded technician. "I can't predict that fight's dead forever, but I can tell you right now nobody's talking about Mayweather."

Mayweather announced last week he'll fight twice in 2013, the likeliest scenario being a spring date against Robert Guerrero and a September showdown against the sport's brightest young star, world super-welterweight champion, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez of Mexico.

In Saturday's post-fight news conference, boxing's power brokers anticipated a fifth meeting between the pair.

When someone asked Marquez about retirement, an HBO representative cracked, "Shhh. Who let him in here?"

"Everyone's asking me about the fifth fight," said Todd DuBoef, president of Top Rank, which promotes both fighters. "When you're entertained like that, how can you not make another?

"When you look at the body of work, it's the most engaging series of fights in the last 50 years."

Fans of the Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier trilogy might argue that, but who else?

Pacquiao began the bout convinced he wouldn't be felled by Marquez's best punch after their three previous fights and the fact he remained standing against the strongest blows of 160-pound Antonio Margarito two years ago.

But things changed. Marquez's strength work under the eye of former steroid figure Angel "Memo" Heredia proved critical, with Heredia describing his altered fighter as "Hulk."

Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz said his fighter "demonstrated his timing, speed, touch and power is still there, his best performance since [Oscar] De La Hoya. He just got too eager at the end."

Koncz said Pacquiao reported that he "felt no difference in Marquez's power from past fights. It was just a perfectly timed, dead-on, square punch that was like being in a bad car accident."

Countered Marquez, "I never thought he was going to beat me. He came at me good, but I was strong. I was not going to lose that fight.

"This was thanks to the work I did, the result of the training."

Questions linger about what happened during training since the Nevada State Athletic Commission failed to conduct one random drug test for either Marquez or Pacquiao in their camps.

The result of pre- and post-fight drug tests should become known by Dec. 17, according to the commission's executive director, Keith Kizer.

Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said he's interested in a fifth fight if Pacquiao is, but "it isn't my call to demand drug testing."

Pacquiao, asked in the ring about Marquez being his next opponent, said, "Why not?"

He previously told Top Rank he wants to fight in April so he can return to the Philippines and help campaign for his wife and friends running for elected office. Pacquiao, a congressman in that country, is running unopposed.
