Floyd Mayweather Sr. has taken a poetic swipe at the Manny Pacquiao camp, describing the Filipino boxer as a 'loser' with a 'pathetic trainer' (Frederick Roach) after the latter's 'Fight of the Century' defeat at the hands of his unbeaten son Floyd Mayweather Jnr in Las Vegas last Sunday.
Mayweather Jnr. extended his unbeaten record to 48-0 with a unanimous-decision win over the Filipino boxer.
According to TMZ.com, Mayweather's father said, "The fight has taken place..Manny's title? Lost without a trace. As me and Floyd entered cheerful embrace... I glanced to see the look of disgrace on Freddie's face. I have changed my pace. I can now look them in the face. And say: I must confess you tried your best. And as we saw there was no contest. Floyd is simply the best! Now just like I said Freddie the Roach is Dead," he added.
Earlier, Mayweather Jnr. had termed Pacquiao a 'sore loser' and a 'coward' for blaming a shoulder injury for his defeat.
Pacquiao had claimed that he was hampered by injury during his fight and admitted to undergoing corrective surgery to fix his torn rotator cuff sustained months before.
