Manny Pacquiao might be focusing all his energy and attention on his upcoming fight vs Chris Algieri on Saturday, but a part of him is still looking forward to what could be the biggest and most controversial fight of his career, that towards Floyd Maywheather Jr.

In an interview published by Telegraph, boxing world champion Manny Pacquiao is confident that his arch nemesis, Mayweather Jr. is doing the best he can to avoid an actual fight between the two of them.

Pacquiao states that he will not be "frustrated" if the fight ceases to happen, and that he is ready to face Mayweather "anytime, anywhere."

"It's obvious he is avoiding a fight with me. He always makes excuses. Just make the fight and stop talking. I've made it clear that my phone line is always open for him to call me," Pacquiao confidently told Telegraph.

Pacquiao added that Mayweather seem to have lost his spirituality, and that he pities the undefeated world champion.

"I pity him because all he thinks and does reflects the worldly aspects of life. He seems to have forgotten his spiritual nourishment," continued Pacquiao.

The boxing legend from the Philippines also talked about a possible fight against his former sparring partner, Amir Khan.

"A fight with Amir would be an exciting fight. I can fight him anywhere, even in England," revealed Pacquiao.
