As far as the Pacquiao-Mayweather mega-fight, I like Mayweather a lot; I think his style of boxing is real slick, but I don’t know man, I think Pacquiao is on a different level right now. He’s all about business. I was impressed at how he got to Cotto because Cotto was a lot bigger dude. I don’t see Mayweather being bigger than Pacquiao in this fight. They are going to be about the same size and I’m going to have to go with Pacquiao. If anybody can beat Pacquiao, it’s going to be Mayweather, but I’m going to stay with the safe pick and go with Pacquiao!
