The boxing world revolves around Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr., and the pound-for-pound king was having fun with fans on Twitter. All boxing observers want to know who Floyd will face next, and he used social media to poke fun at all the prospective opponents.
The most vicious shot was reserved for Manny Pacquiao, whom Mayweather's been accused of ducking for years. A short time ago they were considered equals, but now Pacman's stature has slipped a bit, leading Floyd to nix the possibility of a bout. Still, that didn't stop him from posting this photo and taking a dig at the Filipino.
A Photoshopped image of Mayweather popping Pacquiao with a left straight was accompanied by this caption, "Now you're telling me I got to eat Juan Marquez's leftovers? Let me talk to the IRS about this..." That last comment is a reference to Manny's serious tax issues with both the United States and Philippines.

Pacman wasn't the only one to get made fun of though. The rumored frontrunner for a Floyd fight in May, Amir Khan, was not spared. "Just imagine what Amir "Con Artist" will get if his name gets picked in the Mayweather sweepstakes," was followed by an image of Mayweather standing over a toppled Khan.

Finally, Marcos Maidana took some digital shots, who captioned a photo involving El Chino "Can I please order a one-piece with a biscuit? No sides."

Of those three Pacquiao is the man most fans want to see Mayweather fight, although he's emphatically ruled that out. "We all know the Pacquiao fight, at this particular time, will never happen, and the reason why the fight won't happen is because I will never do business with Bob Arum again in [my] life, and Pacquiao is Bob Arum's fighter," Mayweather said.
Khan has repeatedly said his hand speed and skills will give Mayweather considerable trouble, and dismissed his suspect chin as the product of "killing himself" to make 140 lbs. Maidana is the freshest name of the bunch, having humbled Mayweather's protégé Adrien Broner on December 14th.
