Fans and critics have been hoping for a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, including "First Take" co-host Stephen Smith.

Smith was reported saying that Floyd might be avoiding Pacquiao in hopes of keeping his undefeated title.

In an interview with Fight Hype, Floyd Mayweather ripped Smith for his comments and says that Smith has consistently slammed him for no reason.

"Listen, I don't give two flying f**** what Stephen A. Smith say," he said. "I ain't never seen Stephen A. Smith dribble a basketball, catch a football, or box, so I can give two flying fucks what Stephen A. Smith say. Quote me on that! I repeat, I don't give a f*** what Stephen A. Smith gotta say. I ain't never seen Stephen A. Smith dribble a basketball, catch a football, or get in a boxing ring. He's just a critic. Critics only got an opinion, like everybody else. I can fight two duds; at the end of the day, it's about working smarter, not harder, so Stephen A. Smith can go on First Take and say whatever he want to say."

He also added that he's not worried about fighting Pacquiao because he will still be seen as a legendary boxer.

"Last time I checked, with or without Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather is going in the boxing Hall of Fame," he said. " I've been dominating this sport for almost 20 years. I'm the only athlete to make a power move to be his own boss. I didn't know that over at ESPN, Stephen A. Smith was a yes man. When they tell him to say yes, he say yes; when they tell him to say no, he say no. At the end of the day, like I said before, I was proud of him with the position that he was in, but I could give two flying fucks really about his opinion. The only way he eat don't make me s***."

Smith has defended Floyd in the past, but the boxer says a lot of his comments are from his higher ups at ESPN.

"If I'm not mistaken, I guess he's changing his tune. He was just in some shit a few weeks ago, so now I guess he wants to be politically correct," he said. "He's worrying about being judged. At the end of the day, I don't care who judge me because when it's all said and done, only God can judge me, so I could care less what anybody say. I don't live and fight for Stephen A. Smith."
