For the most part, Manny Pacquiao has been cordial and respectful towards every opponent he has faced inside the boxing throughout his career- outside of course a little bit of exchanged words here and there with Erik Morales back then and when he told Juan Manuel Marquez to "stop crying man" when the Mexican legend kept on nagging him for a third fight after he dropped a close decision in their rematch as if he was Pacquiao's baby momma asking for child support.
His fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. though would be different. Mayweather together with his father Floyd Sr. have been bashing the Filipino boxing star since his ascension as the sport's best pound for pound fighter after Mayweather retired.
Among the insults the Mayweathers have hurled at Pacquiao were claims saying Pacquiao is one-dimensional, that he has little skills, that he has no defense, that Ricky Hatton would knock him out etc. etc. And when the insults pertaining to his skills inside the ring were proven wrong, the Mayweathers conjured up perhaps the most damaging accusation of all when they said that Pacquiao was on some type of steroids despite not having any proof or evidence other than seeing his body and power come with him in the higher weights.
Pacquiao admitted recently that he is a little bit annoyed by the Mayweathers' antics and was quoted in an article by his network GMA saying, "The difference between Floyd with the other fighters I went up against is that he talks a lot of trash which should not be emulated by kids," (translated from: “Pagkakaiba ni Floyd Mayweather sa ibang nakalaban ko is si Floyd, marami siyang thrash talk na di dapat gayahin ng mga bata,").
And in one of my recent articles, I also pointed out how Pacquiao has issued Floyd Sr. a warning that he has some extra ill-feelings towards his son and that he would bring it in the ring when they do indeed face off. Something tells me this will just get worse before it gets any better.
