FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR.:

"Lil Floyd look sharp, man. If what he's doing in the gym carries over to the ring, it's going to be ugly. He tearing people ass up in the gym and that's with the big gloves. When he puts those small gloves on, it's going to be trouble. He's ready though man. He's been sharpÂ…I hear the Filipinos are mad at me," stated world-renowned trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. just days before his son's upcoming return to the ring this Saturday. Check out what he had to say about the fight and his recent claim that "Pacquiao is on something."

PC: Big Floyd, how are you man?

FM: Everything is good Percy. How about you?

PC: I've been doing good man. I just wanted to catch up with you before the fight. How are you feeling?

FM: I feel okay now, but I didn't go to the press conference today because I wasn't feeling good. That's the way it is with me with this disease. If I don't feel like going, I don't go.

PC: I never understood the point of a pre-fight press conference anyway. It's truly nothing left to say 2 days before the weigh-ins.

FM: I know. It's time to fight now, shit! All of the talking is over with.

PC: How is Lil Floyd looking in your eyes?

FM: Lil Floyd look sharp, man. If what he's doing in the gym carries over to the ring, it's going to be ugly. He tearing people ass up in the gym and that's with the big gloves. When he puts those small gloves on, it's going to be trouble. He's ready though man. He's been sharp.

PC: I saw you educating Eddie Murphy.

FM: Yeah, it was cool to hang out with him. He's alright. Him and Johnny Gill were there.

PC: Oh okay. Do you think there's anything behind the piss drinking thing?

FM: Man, let me tell you something man. That's nothing but waste leaving your body. That's the case, he might as well eat his own poop poop. It's nothing good come from that man, come on.

PC: I'll be honest with you, I've asked a lot of people for their prediction and I haven't gotten anyone to pick Marquez over Lil Floyd yet, but a couple of people believe Cotto can beat Pacquiao.

FM: I think he can too. Man, let me tell you something man, Clottey ain't nothing to play with. Everybody going off of Cotto's performance over Clottey, but I think Clottey would beat Pacquiao. That motherfucker ain't no joke man. Cotto could definitely beat Pacquiao. Pacquiao better take him serious because one thing about Lil Floyd, he works his ass off. People talking about wanting to see Pacquiao fight my son, let me tell you man, Lil Floyd would pick Pacquiao's ass apart. Shit, Marquez picked him apart. But I'm going to tell you man, I think Pacquiao might be on something.

PC: I was going to ask you about the comments you made about thinking Pacquiao was on steroids. You ruffled some feathers.

FM: (Laughing) I hear the Filipinos are mad at me.

PC: Yeah, they're not going to be sending you any Christmas cards.

FM: Man, I'm telling you man, he puts on that weight too fast and it's too lean. They need to start checking him man and monitoring him better.

PC: I won't hold you up any longer. Get you some rest my man. I was just wishing you luck and checking on you.

FM: Alright Percy well you know I appreciate it and take care of yourself man.
