Henry Ramirez is one of boxing’s up and coming trainers. The Riverside native trains a stable of fighters which includes undefeated bantamweight prospect Jonathan Arrellano, fringe junior welterweight contender Josesito Lopez, and the popular heavyweight slugger Chris Arreola. Just like everybody in the industry, the 34 year old Ramirez is anticipating the clash between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao and thinks both fighters are going to win their next bouts against Shane Mosley and Joshua Clottey.

Even though he recognizes that Joshua Clottey is a very dangerous opponent, Ramirez thinks Pacquiao is on a different level and in an interview at www.blogtalkradio/fightfannationradio.com he commented, “For the first six rounds I wouldn’t doubt if it was three rounds even. After the first five or six rounds you are going to see a very close, almost a dead even fight, but I think ultimately after that, you are going to see Pacquiao really start to adjust and take command the way he seems to be doing lately. I think you are going to see him win going away like an eight to four decision. I could see him sweeping the whole second half of the fight. What would really be impressive is if he could stop Clottey. I don’t see it, but you really can’t doubt Pacquiao at this point in time!”

Ramirez is confident that Floyd Mayweather is going to beat Shane Mosley in their May super-fight to set up a fall showdown with the Pac-man and noted, “I think Floyd is going to outbox Shane Mosley easy, I think he is going to win nine rounds to three. I think he is going to win easy. Floyd is by far the best fighter on the planet. I don’t think Mosley is as fluid as he used to be, obviously he’s lost a little hand speed. I think Margarito was a perfect guy for him, but who knows, I just think Floyd is going to win the fight hands down going away.”

Be careful of what you ask for because we all were wondering where Floyd Mayweather Jr was when he seemed to be silent for about a week during the middle of this month. But now he’s back and he’s got plenty to say. In a recent interview, Floyd basically said that Manny Pacquiao was a liar because he’s not from America. Let’s examine Floyd’s comment further.

“We got athletes that live in our own country that lie to the American citizens about taking certain enhancement drugs. Now, Manny Pacquiao is not even from this country and don’t even live in this country so imagine what he will tell the American people.” Floyd Mayweather Jr Allhiphop.com

There are so many things wrong about these comments that I don’t even know where to begin. So let’s take it one step at a time.

“American athletes who lie to the Public”

I can’t believe I have agreed with Floyd twice in one day but he’s right when it comes to this statement. There are plenty of athletes that lie about using PEDs. Just look at Major League Baseball. There’s no professional sport other than Cycling that has been hit with more controversy over PEDs.

“Manny Pacquiao is not even from this country”

In 2010, there’s nothing wrong with an athlete not being from this country. Some of the greatest athletes in the NBA aren’t even from America like 2-time NBA MVP Steve Nash. In baseball, arguably the best players aren’t from this country like Albert Pujols. So to even bring this up is a waste of time. You don’t have to be from America to be a great and honest athlete.

“so imagine what he will tell the American people”

Just because Manny is from another country doesn’t mean he’s a liar and it also doesn’t mean that foreign athletes are liars. In fact, some of the greatest ambassadors to America’s najor professional sports are foreign athletes like Yao Ming, Dikembe Mutombo, Hakeem Olajuwan. None of these athletes are considered liars because they are from another country.

Amy Kragen Sacramento, CA “Is Floyd Mayweather Jr insane?”

I think Floyd has become insane. Just look at some of his latest comments.

* He talks about Shane Mosley’s divorce Mayweather’s comments hit Shane Mosley below the belt
* He compares himself to Martin Luther King Jr and Malcom X Mayweather Jr compares himself and his ‘Drug Crusade’ to Martin Luther King Jr and Malcom X
* He says that he only lives for himself and not the fans Floyd Mayweather Jr ‘I live for Floyd Mayweather, I don’t live for the fans’

Casey Drayton Sacramento CA “Did Floyd really say that foreigners are liars?”

Go to the beginning of my article and tell me what you think. In fact, watch the video below. I’ve already had more people share their disgust with me over their initial hearing of his comments than I have in the last few weeks.

Conclusion
Just because American athletes have lied to the public doesn’t mean foreign athletes are liars. Hey Floyd, I can imagine what Manny would say to the public. He would say that he gives everything to God and that he wants to honor his country. In fact read the following article for what Manny has said to the public: Manny Pacquiao lives to honor his country, the fans, and God. Mayweather only lives for himself

How do comments like these translate into Manny being a liar? Simply, they don’t. Mayweather has once again gone too far with his “gum bumping”.
