Mayweather Sr attacks Pacman's technique

London: Floyd Mayweather Sr has issued a scathing assessment of Manny Pacquiao's boxing technique, claiming that the Filipino "can't fight at all".

Pacquiao became a seven-weight world champion by defeating Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas earlier this month, but Mayweather Sr said he had been unimpressed by the performance.

"You know what I took away from the Cotto fight? Pacquiao can't fight at all man," Mayweather Sr told fighthype.com. "That man don't move his head when Cotto still had his wits and was ducking underneath and moving his head, Pacquiao couldn't touch him.

"Pacquiao couldn't hit me if I was asleep. He is strong and fast, but that man can't fight. He throws the same combination."

Pacquiao's victory over Cotto has prompted calls for a showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr, and Mayweather Sr said his son would have nothing to fear in such a fight.

"Lil Floyd is miles ahead of Pacquiao in the skills department," he said. "If they make that fight, Lil Floyd got something for him.

"Man, let me tell you something man. [Pacquiao's trainer] Freddie Roach hasn't taught Pacquiao any-thing. That man still don't move his damn head and he's till drops his hands after he throws combinations. Pacquiao can't fight man, I'm telling you."
