Ahead of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao<\/a> rematching in six months\u2019 time, two-time welterweight champion Shawn Porter believes that only one man has what it takes to come out on top.<\/p>\n

After years of back and forth, Mayweather and Pacquiao finally went toe-to-toe in 2015, as \u2018TBE\u2019 delivered a boxing clinic to control proceedings and become the three-belt unified champion in the 147lb division<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two fights later, Mayweather hung up the gloves, but he did not stay away from the squared circle. Instead, the Michigan mastermind opted to partake in a series of exhibitions, keeping both his physique and bank account looking extremely healthy.<\/p>\n

However, after nine years away from the professional sport, Mayweather has decided to make a comeback and put his fabled 50-0 record on the line, as he rematches his old foe in a must-see battle at respective ages of 49 and 47 years old.<\/p>\n

Speaking to TMZ Sports<\/a>, Porter admitted that he cannot envisage \u2018Pac Man\u2019 being able to level the score, due to his performance when drawing with Mario Barrios back in July.<\/p>\n

\u201cFloyd can\u2019t lose and it\u2019s like, Manny, I think he should have handled business against Mario Barrios. I thought that he beat Mario, but he should have handled business. What does that mean? Make this so one-sided that nobody can doubt who won this fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to beat Floyd, there is a certain energy that you have to have. I am not sure if Manny can find that energy now and Floyd has just always been him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayweather-Pacquiao II takes place on Saturday, September 19<\/a>, at The Sphere in Las Vegas, with the event being available to watch live on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahead of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao rematching in six months\u2019 time, two-time welterweight champion Shawn Porter believes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522033,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-522032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
