Wright: Floyd will beat Manny
FORMER undisputed light middleweight champion Ronald “Winky” Wright sees American Floyd Mayweather Jr. beating Manny Pacquiao if their fight pushes through.
Although Wright is rooting for Mayweather Jr., Wright believes Pacquiao has what it takes to hand Mayweather Jr. his first career loss.
“It would be a good fight, but I like Floyd because he’s a great boxer and I think he would outsmart Pacquiao,” Wright told Fighthype.com. “You never know though, because Pacquiao throws a lot of punches and has a lot of movement. I hope we can get that fight.”
Wright believes the 31-year-old Filipino icon’s aggressive style might just be the key to breaking Mayweather Jr.’s solid defense.
“I think Pacquiao has a good chance because he throws punches from everywhere and he’s not going to be scared of Floyd,” said Wright, who has held all the light middleweight world titles of the four major boxing governing bodies.
