Floyd Mayweather Jr. took to the Internet again on Friday, this time to apologize for a profanity-filled racist rant against Manny Pacquiao that he recorded on uStream.com Thursday.

Mayweather continued to mispronounce Pacquiao’s surname, repeatedly referring to him as “Pooch-ee-ow.” But a day after making racist and homophobic comments on uStream, Mayweather offered an apology to those who were offended.

Mayweather wouldn't make it past the 3rd round against Pacquiao and he knows it.

But he didn't offer an apology to the person he attacked?

Class in boxing.

Sugar Ray Robinson and Gene Fullmer

Youngsters could learn a few things from them.

Has Obama announced yet that, in his opinion, Manny Pacquiao acted stupidly?

Is it racist if a black guy insults an asian guy? I think it’s only racist if a white guy insults another race, especially black. Gayweather is afraid to fight Pacquio, plain and simple, he knows he will lose.

Funny thing is, Floyd is one of the great ones too and sharp as a tack. He’s just a buttwipe. Manny is a great one too. Mayweather doesn’t want to fight Manny and ruin his perfect record and he’s trying to cover up being afraid to lose. He even made Marquez agree to fight him at 5 or 6 overweight. He knows what’s doable and what’s not - Pacquiao isn’t doable.

Unfortunately, Floyd is not a youngster. He’s just an idiot.

Mayweather has one of the biggest scams going -- he makes sure that any opponent of his first bust their butt fighting guys he would never face himself. Then after his opponent has been through so many ring wars, then and only then does Mayweather sign on to fight the guy.

Even if he were to beat Pacquiao, none of what he does equals what Manny has done, unless Mayweather beats the top middleweights, super-middleweights, and light-heavyweights today.

Floyd Mayweather is talked off for his ducking fights and his choice of opponents that will give him that edge.

Manny Pacquiao gives that legitimate threat and Floyd Mayweather’s unbeaten record might just change or Mayweather might fight to silence his critiques.

The March 13,2010 fight between Mayweather & Pacquiao was canceled.

Mayweather wouldn’t stand a chance against the great fighters of the past like Sugar Ray Robinson, Duran, Armstrong, Basilo etc.
