Is Mayweather a wimp for asking Pacquiao to take blood tests?
February 13th, 2010
By Jason Kim: As the time passes since Floyd Mayweather’s potential mega fight against World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao fell apart over the random blood tests that Mayweather had insisted on for the fight, more and more fighters are coming out of the woodwork saying that they would be more than happy to fight Pacquiao without the Filipino star having to take any kind of blood tests. The latest fighter that has come out saying that they would fight Pacquiao without blood tests is WBC lightweight Edwin Valero.
I know Mayweather says he’s trying to clean up the sport of boxing from drugs, but this begs the question: Why didn’t Mayweather start cleaning up the sport before he decided on fighting Pacquiao? I mean performance enhancing drugs have been a big problem for years in boxing, so why is Mayweather all of a sudden getting righteous about it now? Mayweather says that Pacquiao didn’t want to take a $25 million drug test, which he feels is the reason why the fight didn’t take place.
But if Mayweather didn’t ask for the blood tests in the first place, there would have been no problem. He could have easily had completed negotiations for the Pacquiao fight and would have been the one fighting him on March 13th instead of Joshua Clottey.
How come Mayweather didn’t ask his last opponent Juan Manuel Marquez to take blood tests? You would think that with the success that Marquez has had in his career, he would be someone that Mayweather might ask to take blood tests too. I know that Mayweather might be equally surprised at how well Pacquiao has done since moving up in weight to the welterweight division, but that’s no reason suspect that he’s using any kinds of performance enhancing drugs and ask for tests.
If you look at who Pacquiao has faced, he hasn’t exactly taken on a vicious bunch of fighters since moving up in weight. Pacquiao has fought Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto. Those are good fighters, but in each case they were vulnerable. It didn’t take a superman to beat them. They already had been beaten recently before Pacquiao got to them, which is why it seems illogical that Mayweather would ask for random blood testing for his fight against Pacquiao.
From the outside looking in, it seems like Mayweather is afraid of Pacquiao because of the success that he’s had. Mayweather himself moved up in weight successfully from super featherweight where he started his career. How come Floyd doesn’t understand why another fighter can’t do the same thing.

Just read what the experts are saying:
Floyd is turning boxing into a circus, but don’t take my word for it :
Larry Holmes, Heavyweight Champion:
I wish I could see Mayweather and Pacquiao fight, but what they’re (Floyd’s camp) doing right now is hurting boxing because people want to see the fight… They’re trying to bring up stuff that is taking away from the fight with drug tests and accusations… I don’t get it.”
Joe Goosen, Legendary Boxing Trainer:
“I just think Pacquiao is a juggernaut right now… and I would just say that maybe that’s the reason (Floyd’s) throwing up all these smokescreens and roadblocks because he (Floyd) doesn’t wanna get in the ring with him (Pac)… (Floyd) should just say yes to the fight, forget all the testing, this guy’s (Pac) not on drugs. There’s a little air there in all this that’s just not
right.”
Al Bernstein, Showtime Boxing Analyst:
“It seems patently obvious to me that Floyd and his minions killed the Pacquiao fight. The bottom line is that the fight was basically a done deal before they decided to inject the demands for blood testing into the picture. Pure and simple, Golden Boy
and Floyd and his advisers created the problem, and it ended up killing the fight.”
Dan Rafael from ESPN:
“Mayweather shouldn’t be making accusations without a shred of proof as he tries to discredit all of Pacquiao’s great accomplishments, nor should he try to circumvent the Nevada rules by asking for blood tests when the commission has never asked for them.”
Thomas Hauser, HBO.com:
“There were times during the past month when the conduct of Team
Mayweather had the look of an effort to sabotage the fight. A negotiator who wants to make a deal doesn’t go out of his way to antagonize and publicly embarrass the other side. But that’s
what the Mayweathers and Golden Boy did.”
Jim Strickland, David Diaz’s Trainer/retired licensed pharmacist:
“I don’t see any reason of accusing Manny of using illegal drugs in our fight.”
Timothy Bradley, WBO/WBC Jr. Welterweight Champion:
“I don’t think Manny is on anything. He’s just on top of his game right now.”
James Toney, Multi division Champion:
“Who is Mayweather to ask for the tests? Why didn’t he ask Marquez? Manny’s not on ‘roids.”
Mike Silver, noted Boxing Historian:
“I think it fell apart because basically Mayweather never wanted to fight Pacquiao. He wants to continue and fight guys he can beat and fool the public.
Roy Jones, Jr.:
“Hell naw. Why change the rules on me? Because I’m coming up in
weight means I’m doing steroids? They’re giving you a test for that anyway. It would be something that would aggravate me because then after I beat you, I was on something, don’t play with me. Either you want to fight or you don’t want to fight.”
@ ANONYNOUS….
Im sorry brother, my comments are in favor of pacman not floyd.
He keeps mentioning Pacquiao on his interviews.Is he trying to bail out of the Mosley fight?Or take his mind away from
thinking of the beating the old dude going to inflict on him.
Well,this fight is for him.Nature give it to him.He was given a
chance to fight a smaller guy,but he chickened out,because of a chance that he could lose.What a waste of SKILL in the ring.His mouth is way faster than his brain,One time saying a fighter is one dimensional and an easy fight, then the next time the same boxer is extraordinary.APPLES DOESN’T FALL AWAY FROM THE TREE.

Yeah. Mayweather is a wimp because he knows the buttwhipping is breathing down his neck. He has long avoided fighting fighters that could beat him, but he is not finding the backdoor as easily as of late. He IS worried about Shane Mosley!
you know craying baby floyd mayweather he makes a lot of excuses to fight manny pacman cause he really scared. cause he will know he will knock out in the ring poor craying baby floyd mayweather jr hahahahhahaha
PAC is a joke until he takes the blood test…no 10 mill per pound for clottey? I wonder why maybe PAC knows he will win. PAC is right for thinking he will win everyone with a brain knows the outcome of the PAC vs clottey figfht…PAC vs Clottey = a joke…LOL Mayweather is the best p4p until someone takes it from him…he retired and all of a sudden he was no longer a good boxer? How does that work?
@ ares i agree,so many fighters have criticized pac only roy jones jr who himself i believe has been accused of takin steroids defended him..wonder why
the guys who want to fight pac need him for money and fame,pbf has both y should he make the concessions. for me a fighter who doesnt wana take the test and then sues the guy he is supposed to be fighting is the one who didnt fancy his chances…they even put a penalty of $10 million for evry pound mayweather was over limit and that is bs yet mayweather accepted it.have u ever heard of that before?
in a sport as vicious as boxing people should make sure of a level playing field it could be a matter of life and death.
i mean so many athletes have been exposed in different sports yet people think its unfair to ask for a test?!
what did i hear mayweather will clean all sports? I’m a billiard player should i undergo random blood test for ped?
BIG WIMP PERIOD!
@ whoever the moderator is,
Why was my first post on this subject not visible on this board??
Is it because i critisized the writer for only mentioning Valero not wanting to ask manny for random tests?? (because he is a Top Rank fighter and in need of exposure and a big py day)
Or is it because i mentioned the fighters that have a problem with Manny refusing?? ie. Cotto, clintron, mallinagi,delahoya, nate campbell,marquez. I didn’t swear in that post nor did i make racist jibes or any personal attacks on any people who are posting here.
Lets see if this post gets through the moderaters.
YEP HES A WIMP. SIMPLES.
All these crazy fans in here from both sides. Die-hard Pac fans and die-hard PBF fans. I’ll say that boxing does need to have stricter testing, but I don’t think PBF is honestly coming out saying he wants to clean up the sport. PBF just found another excuse to not fight another fighter who could jeopardize his record. By the way he got backed into a corner to fight Mosley, he would never have chosen to fight Mosley. I agree this PPV will do better for PBF because Mosley is a bigger name then Clottey and this fight has been a decade in the making, but if PBF loses, which I think there is a good chance, PBF loses any leverage as far as percentage in a Pacquiao fight. Hell, Pacquiao might just fight Mosley and leave PBF in the dust.
Anyone who thinks the crappy fight between Pac Man and Clottey is going to even come close to the PPV buys of Mayweather/Mosley is not thinking straight. Pac Man has out sold Mayweather ONE TIME in his entire career and that was because he was fighting a much more anticipated fight when he took on Cotto and Mayweather fought JMM. Everyone expected Floyd to do about 500K and Pac Man to do a million. Instead Floyd got a million and Pac got 1.25.
Every other fight has been Mayweather. It is just a fact that Mayweather is the bigger PPV draw than Pac Man. There really isn’t any argument to be had. Some of it is because people want to see him lose, but he still gets the buys.
What we all have to come to grips with is that Arum is one of the biggest problem boxing has and until he is gone a fight like this will NEVER happen. We can blame whatever we want and whoever we want, but the real reason it won’t happen is BOB ARUM. Simple as that.
He hates Mayweather, Mayweather hates him and the thought of Floyd Mayweather beating his best fighter and cash cow is something that Bob Arum could never live with. BOB ARUM stopped that fight from happening and he will keep it from happening.
Don’t believe me? Just look at Roach’s comments that he had to back away from because of Arum. Arum is a bigger crook than Don King and he needs to get the blame he deserves.
Fraud Maryweather found his calling. He came out of retirement because boxing NEEDED a saviour. Fraud is the messiah, lmao. we need to clean boxing from PEDs/Roids and follow the almighty, self proclaimed drug expert and greatest of all time’s demands and testing requirements, thats the biggest joke in Boxing History, haha. From the most selfish person who said he lives for himself…, who dogs and disrespects other fighters, but now wants to protect all his fellow boxers and save the sport. the guy afraid to get drain bamage, its his fear and insecurity that makes him a coward. he already conceded to Manny and found an excuse on why he would lose. i lost because Pac is on PED’s. Dont worry about the corruption and greed; the many alphabet titles/governing bodies; lack of standards; FRAUDULENT decisions, mob/organized crime influence; plaster gloves, dives etc…. come on man. fvcken dyin laughin man.
Seriously, lets look at a 5 year span for both. Fraud Maryweather won 135lb Lightweight title on 4/20/02; 140lb light welterweight title on 6/25/05 and 154lb super welter title on 5/5/07; +19lbs. Manny Pacquiao won 130 superfeather title on 3/19/05, 135lb lightweight title on 6/28/08 and 147lb welterweight on 11/14/09; +17.
As mentioned on other posts, just enjoy what boxing is delivering NOW and hope that it keeps getting better.
Ring Magazine #1, ESPN #2 Pacman vs Ring, espn #5 clottey; Ring #2, espn #1 sugar vs ring, espn #3 Fraud. if we’re lucky we get the winners to fight. Fraud should thank Pac for beating Ring and espn #4 cotto in the wild card round. i dont care if Manny ever fights fraud and it would be better if he doesnt give fraud the opportunity and just finishes his career with Mosley, Valero, Berto and either Yuri Foreman/Cotto winner or Paul Williams. there are a few other names, but am sure roach and arum will pick good fights for him knowing that we are lucky to get 3 more after clottey. i dont care if fraud tries to beat rocky’s 49 or calzaghe’s 46 (fraud and flomos, he’s the 2nd Greatest of all-time after rocky, lmao), dont care if he fights Pac, how many or whoever he wants to fight after Mosley, i dont give a $hite, the same way fraud fans dont care about Pac, so leave it at that.
Pac, Ring and ESPN #1 Pound for Pound; BWAA Fighter of the Year and Decade; 7 world titles, 5 major titles, 4 lineal championships.
251 posts & still no fight
Well Floyd has now come out and said if Floyd/Mosley do more PPV buys than Pac/Clottey which it will, that Floyd will demand a 60/40 split in the purse also he will ask for random tests up until the day of the fight. Looks like this fight is DEAD. Boxing sux right now. 2 best fighters will not get a deal done. No wonder MMA is growing so fast.
Yes, Floyd Jr. is a wimp. You can tell during the interview with Jamie Foxx that he is really scared of Pacquiao. He stuttered very very badly as if he doesnt know what to say, he was asked if the fight is going to take place and his answer was he will make sure that boxing is the cleanest in all sports. He didnt say it will take place. Never gonna happen, big disappointment to all boxing fans. KFC.
sorry floyd who want to watch a dance contest between you and moseley.
i look at pictering. Pacman face has smash but Maywether is still beaty.
why is this thing?
pretty boy floyd is scared he is the first one who started this random testing.He want to control the fight and pacman said no. pacman has more money than him pretty boy is broke.floy regret everything. he thought he can dictate the fight.he need money and he is scared.

im out man it seems like im talkin to children.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting you took this angle on the article considering just as many big name fighters have come out and said they would be HAPPY to fight Floyd and take those test. Of course Valero will do anything to fight Pac Man, however he would take the test to fight Mayweather too. The logic of this article is just stupid.
Mayweather had the drug test in the contract FROM THE BEGINNING. Manny originally accepted the testing, then they thought they would scare off Floyd with the $10 million and ounce penalty, instead he agreed immediately. The next day they come out with these objections to the drug testing. Drug testing that had been in the contract FROM THE BEGINNING.
Floyd agreed to stop the testing 14 days BEFORE the fight and Pac Man wimped out. There is no way to blame this on Floyd unless you are not objective.
I love Floyd and Pac Man both. I think they are great fighters. However, Pac Man should have taken the test, period. The third best fighter in the world, Mosley, was more than willing to do it.
Ha ha. That would be a good idea. If Floyd is sincere, he should campaign for random blood tests performed during the playoffs of NBA, NFL,etc… especially during the championship series. I wonder how many athletes will bash Floyd with these. Same situation with his fight with Pac.
Hey whats the use of putting roids into your system and then wash it on the fight time to escape the test and come clean. You want to be 100% super human right? To be more superior on your opponent? So if you flash it out there no effect at all your skills will not improve because you flash it to get away on cheating. That the thing you need to understand KFC fun. Its all psychological imagination.
Imagine if request is coming from Kobe asking only Lebron among Cavs to take random blood test during the 7 games NBA finals. Coming from Kobe and not the NBA… on the premis that manchild Lebron is just too good.
Dude! it’s the Olympics… LOL!
Kobe and Lebron taking a blood tests also but not randomly while on their heavy training preparing for playoffs for instance, Yes they take blood test but scheduled blood tests!
@ ANONYMOUS
We are defending Pacman because he still better boxer than Mayweather and also he had been negative in any form of testing in Nevada! Bring in the USADA and for sure he will be negative as well!
@ anony. yeah, most if all were fine. 14 days out is important to a fight. You miss 2-3 days of sparring, training , whatever, you could miss your peak, which is vital to boxing as we know. Regardless, mayweather is an exceptional boxer, and I myself wouldnt want to be cheated of a less than peak fighter (whomever) when stepping in with floyd. If shane’s good to go, good for him. If pac isnt, thats his perspective, knowing his own physical.
I AGREE WITH THAT MARQUEZ COMMENT! 100%.. BUT FLOYD IS BIGGER AND THE GREATEST RIGHT? WHY COULDT HE?
Fly Ty
please don’t answer Anonymous. he’s just baiting you into one of those chasing the dogs tails debate.
MANNY NO. FLOYD YES, SO FAR. WHY DID IT TAKE HIM SO LONG TO FIGHT FLOYD? FLOYD BACKED HIMSEF INTO A CORNER. AND STILL TOOK HIM 5 DAYS TO ACTUALLY SIGN.
CMON BRUTHA? DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT? WE SEEN HIM TRY TO FINISH HIM AND HE COULDN’T.
I’m sure that if you asked every nfl, nhl, nba, and mlb player to take a blood test before a game there’d be alot of uproar. Not that the ruling should or shouldnt be instilled. I’ve performed phlebotomies in the past working for a lab, and more than a few people, of all sizes and statures, have passed out or have lost a days work from the draw. Too many folks living off presumption. The fights gonna happen, so test or no test, so let the chips fall where they will.
@ ANONYMOUS…….
FLOYD DOES NOT HAVE ANYMORE POWER! DID YOU WATCH HIS LAST FIGHT? HAHAHA HE IS NOT A FINISHER @ 147!
Floyd requires a blood test to fight a little guy. did he ask RICK ROSS to take a blood test before he got into a little scuffle with him in las vegas? haha funny ish! THER’S ALWAYS ROOM IN WWE!!! 1-900-RETIRE FLOYD!
@ BOXING FAN….
I agree with your comment the most! couldn’t have been said any better. if you decline a psychiatric test does that make you insane?
1-900-retire floyd!
it’s funny how Floyd’s jr. fans always talk about his defensive expetise.
Question you Floyd Jr. fans should ask is is Floyd Jr. can go for 12 rounds without getting hit. Every Floyd Jr fan always talks about the same thing over and over again. Now if you Floyd fans know anything about math, ( lets hope they do ) chances are they will both hit one another. there is no way in hell Floyd Jr. will avoid any of Many’s punches. It’s just mathematically impossible. The concern is getting hit with one of those on slot of power punches or when of them clean crisp single one that will rock his world. Again, do the math. I’m sure the Mayweather’s camp has gotten the best mathematicians money can buy. And what are the odds of not getting hit with one of those. The answer was scary.
then someone from the camp asked the mathematician the ultimate question. “Okay, will blood slow him down?”. The mathematician answered, “you’re going to have to get the USADA on this one. I only do numbers”…. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
@kray
You have the most most agreeable comment here as of late.But let
me correct you the high penalty has basis,you going to find out yourself,gather more info.Also,anything that enhances somebody
beyond normal capability,that Drug is a Performance Enhancer.
And yes! I want my moneys worth.I want the fight that I am taking time with to be entertaining.
TO ALL (PBF) HATERS,
let me just start off by saying that i am not a floyd fan i am a boxing fan and i am just looking at this situation objectively. i just want to say that if PBF happens to out box MOSLEY then there is no way that PACMAN can beat him. MOSLEY bigger then floyd has the longer reach and is stronger then floyd and he he is also pretty fast aswell. id floyd can out box all of those obstacles as fast as PACMAN is he will not have a chance against a bigger more skilled PBF im just being realistic. I think all PACMAN fans should be more nervous about this fight then if PBF was actually fighting pacquia. I slao think it is a possibility that clottey has been paid to take a DIVE so that if the MAYWEATHER fight does happen BOB ARUM wont lose any leveredge. but the same thing could be said about the MOSLEY fight aswell. (BOXING IS A CORRUPTED SPORT PEOPLE JUST THINK)
In the history of boxing I never recall a boxer that would clean the sports entirely, not only boxing but the whole sports in particular? C’mon ! all this league has its own commission to handle such a thing, I never seen an hypocrite fighter/individual that suggested and really pushing the boundaries to change such regulations from test that is effective and running to a such olympic style testing which is really really absurd in boxing!
There’s no doubt he’s a wimp. He keep on bragging that he is best all around boxer that Manny is no match to him and a little guy to him. And yet, he didn’t fight him because Manny don’t want a blood testing close to the fight. To him making a big deal about the blood testing just makes people opinion more true that he’s afraid. If Floyd is confident that he can easily beat Manny, who happen to agree on 24 days before the fight then, there is no point pushing the testing even closer to the fight. The thing is, he saw what Manny can do in the ring. A little guy (Manny) can give him hell in the ring. I’m talking bloody and disfigured face. That little guy who holds nothing back in the ring, thats the little guy he’s afraid of fighting. This blood testing is his excuse of being a wimp.
Man….this topic never gets old, I guess. Mayweather suspected something , does not matter why, so he asked for additional testing. To be fair, he made it joint testing. Manny suspected something, so he asked for a high penalty…to keep Floyd honest. Neither fighter wants the other to have ANY advantage. I don’t see anything wrong with that. No one fighter is more scared than the other. Floyd has Pac’s power to be concerned about. Pac has Floyd’s all around boxing ability to be concerned about, especially since Roach has not been able figure out a clear cut answer for it. Have they both lost–and gained–some fans because of this debacle? Yes. This fight may either favor the boxer–floyd–or the puncher–Manny. So, they both have reasons to be hesistant.
Should random testing be a part of boxing? Hell Yeah! Do I as a fan give a f*ck who raises the issue and why? Hell No? Is it valid to ask for what you want in a contract? Yes…this is the only opportunity to do so. If two fighters can’t agree on the terms of that contract then they move on. Pac moved on to clottey–for his reasons. Floyd moved on and agreed to fight Shane–for his reasons. Will Manny and Floyd’s paths cross again? Possibly. And guess what, it will, probably, be the same contract with the same stipulations as before. Maybe, if we knew exactly why Floyd wants 14 days vs Manny’s 24, this would be more digestable. But, we are left to speculate and debate in these forums, and all over youtube, etc.
As a fan, I don’t care if a fighter is using xylocaine. It’s not a ped. Even if you’re numb, you can still break your hands. But, I do care if a fighter is using peds. And I think both fighters should prove to me–the consumer–things are on the up and up, before they take my money. I dont care whether it involves giving blood or not, as long as the most effective methods are being used. After the fight is not acceptable. Not only has the damage already been done to another boxer’s psyche, you took me for my money!
@anynomous and paul williams
why do you hate pacquiao so much?is he in any way oppressed you?floyd is the one that’s thrash talking!i don’t know you guys!but you hate him so much and i never heard pacquiao accusing,cursing or anything to that effect!if you have any proof show it for the world to see!
The fight could have happened without the blood test,so we can say that whoever brought it up on the table created an obstacle to the process.
He’s cleaning the sport? he meant;making sure his opponent is clean.He doesn’t really care if the other fighters on another match are taking the test or not.
Mayweather should demand(he thinks he is bigger than boxing)
random blood test across the board from straweights to the heavyweights,then we can call it “cleaning the sport”.
Assuming Pacquiao is a user,Mayweather maybe cleaned up Mosley(present adversary) but there is still a dirty fight
on March 13,2010 in Texas,Maybe more.
@paul williams Right after the pacquaio vs cotto fight. Manny said to an local interview that he is planning for retirement. he said that 2 fights more and he will retire. after clottey fight and one more he will retire. IF this happen there will be no way of telling if pbf can really beat the pacman.
So are all Floyd Jr fan going to finally give Manny his Kudos after Floyd Jr himself called Manny Pacquiao great. “From ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY”. He said it was impossible, lol! Floyd believes but he still can’t believe it. Mouth is faster than the brain. that stuff can get you in to a lot of trouble, lol!
@anonymous
if someone ask you to take a psychiatric test and you decline is that makes you insane?of course not!if you agree and pass the test they will say that you ‘masked’ it!walking away from 25m is called honor and respect!not greed and envy!
Mayweather should stand up and be a man! don’t make decision from father man!
I believe that this fiasco didn’t came Junior, It probably came from different source that saw all the Pacquiao fights, that Mayweather don’t have chance in winning against Pacquiao! He just went along and piggy backing to those decision given to him without thinking but how could he think he don’t have a brain I guess!
Pacquiao already settled with a mansion close to the beach in the Philippines, this guy doesn’t need the money anymore, and most of the Mayweather fans think that he ran away from 25-40 million! give me a break! When is gonna end! What is the difference between running from 2 million and 40 million when your name is diminished by false accusations like the bum Senior made huh! THERE’S MORE VALUABLE STUFFS TO PROTECT THAN MONEY!
@ ANONYMOUS!!!
Your an idiot Anonymous! He wanted to give 3 blood tests and unlimited urine you think those would not catch anything that he’s hiding! Your such an idiot. Mayweather ran because his father knows exactly how powerful Pacquiao is when he coach Hatton! you fool! he saw it in his 2 F$%^# eyes! He know that his son will get a lot of trouble when he fight him, maybe a totally retirement!
People are different you stupid!, most of the people will lost power and speed when they move up in weights, but Pacquiao is different, he trained hard, harder than regular fighter, he even use a 2×2 stick to hit him…
Just admit man! Mayweather feeling a lot of distress in his body right now. He even had problem signing the contract on time. WHATS UP WITH THAT!!!!!
EVENTUALLY HE WILL RAN OUT OF EXCUSES!!!!!
Don’t mean to hijack this thread.
Re-post
Funny thing about Floyd Mayweather Jr’s fans is that they love bashing Manny Pacquiao and how easy of a fight he would be. how he’s just another ordinary fighter.
At least Floyd Jr. acknowledges how great Manny Paquiao is. Well at least now he does. Not like before on how one dimensional and how easily Manny can be defeated.
Don’t believe me, go back and listen from 1:31 to 1:47.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. said that Pacquiao was an ordinary fighter and now an EXTRAORDINARY fighter.
It’s like saying, “I ain’t going in the ring with that dude. Are you crazy, that dude is EXTRAORDINARY. He ain’t human”…………….. LOMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floyd Jr. just called Manny “THE $HIT” by accident cause his mind was a bit slower than his own mouth, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Fact number
The mouth of Paul Williams is faster than his hands!
having a needle stuck into your vein and withdrawing blood from your body , bares absolutley no resemblance to getting scratched on the skin with an needle covered in ink, why do people bring up the tattoes as point that he cant hate needles jabbed in a vein?
It’s stupid to continue to bring up Paul Willaims because it’s not like FLoyd is exactly calling out the jolly green giant.
I’m hoping in the near future that the USADA will soon announce that blood testing will now take a back seat because the new urine testing is much better and safer for athletes. Now that would be an irony and a bad dream in hell for Money May. He’ll surely pi$$ in his pants the moments he hears the news, LMAO!
A lot people say the Jamie Foxx interview. You can tell that he is scared of the Pacman! He’s trying to clean the sports of boxing and the rest of the sports on illegal substances. I say WHO THE F$%#@ ARE YOU TO CLEAN BASEBALL, NFL, BASKETBALL!
You’re just a freaking boxer, and start to be one. He wanted to give 3 blood tests and ask for 24 days before the fight and you rejected it! WHAT AN F#$%& LUNATIC! You needed the money floyd, You don’t get that amount to anybody else but Pacman!
Eventually your excuses will ran-out and eventual the lefty will catch you offsided! WATCH OUT FOOL!
c’mon bro.
Right after the Pac-Cotto fight, all Floyd wanted to talk about is how one-dimensional Manny is and how he would be easy-work. He didn’t once bring up steroids.
And didn’t Manny offer to pay $10 mil if he submitted a dirty test?
So why didn’t Floyd accept Manny’s terms. Box his ears off, like he should be able to. Make $40 mil. Let Manny test dirty, like Floyd believes he is, and collect amn extra $10 mil?
The testing cost Floyd $25 million too. If he’s so great, then he shouldn’t have been worried about testing. He should have had his eyes on the money like all you claim they should have been.
Miguel Cotto on Manny Pacquiao……..”Why in the world would he require restrictions or conditions for the tests? It is a golden opportunity for him to (dispel) all world-wide rumors surrounding his figure and use of enhancement drugs. His refusal to commit to the tests without conditions raises questions.”
“Olympic type drug testing is the most efficient tool for the sport to secure fair play,” Cotto said. “My recommendation to all boxing authorities in the world is to implement it across the board. I would agree to it without hesitation or reservations. It is the only way to ensure that the outcome of a bout is the strict result of conditioning and ability. To magnify your talent with drugs is repulsive.”……………….http://www.mlive.com/mayweather/index.ssf/2009/12/miguel_cotto_says_manny_pacqui.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+annarbor-sports+(Ann+Arbor+News+Sports+-+MLive.com)
I don’t understand why people believe that Pacquiao ran away from a big pay day, Mayweather is, because he needed the money more than Pacquiao. But, protecting the asset is more significant than fighting a skilled fighter like Pacquiao because he knew for sure that one lose would give a significant start of downfall for him. At this moment, injured on his wrist and rib cage are the problem, he is not a 100 percent boxer anymore, he has to take it easy.
Just look at the Jamie Foxx interview, he doesn’t even want to answer straight answer when Jamie ask him- is the fight gonna happen?. Mumbling a lot of bvllcrap and shaking like a six year old. what a ducker!
No. Most people with common sense don’t buy into accusations that are baseless. True, there may be some fanatics that would say FLoyd is a cheater, just like there are FLoyd fanatics that believe Pac is a cheater.

when you’re accusing someone you must have a proof to justify your allegations!otherwise,it’s just lies,envy and lots of bs!don’t know why you’re thrashtalking pacquiao?you must had lost a lot of money betting against him!good for you!stfu too!
I can honestly say that if Manny had falsely accused Mayweather of cheating, I wouldn’t expect Floyd to take the test either.
You don’t just go around and accuse people of something like steroids, especially in this day and age, without proof.
And while some top tier athletes who, for the most part, were good people and got caught. They were all tied to steroids in some way. Whether through a dirty test or being named on a list associated with a steroid dealer.
Manny was neither of these things, and to be fair, neither is FLoyd.
to the “PAUL WILLIAMS”:
do you even know what’s coming out from your mouth?! or been writing here?! you said, about hollyfield not to be trusted because he beat up his wife?! man?! wtf?! then, why do you all believe from the mayweathers mouths?! when they are all woman/wife beaters, drug smugglers, drug addicts, ex-convict!! now, what are you talking now?! you are the same of your floid your man…HE CONTRADICTS HIMSELF! rofl..
Mayweather is already a WIMP fighting and cheating a tiny JMM.

yeah, even I’ll admit that Holyfield is not exactly the best guy to be saying all that stuff.
I believe Larry Holmes. Fight and get pain first. Settle all the other B.S later.
By the looks of it, Holyfield will categorize PBF as a coward.
_____
FH: What is your take on the whole Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao situation, and whether or not boxing should implement more stringent policies for drug-testing, such as random blood-testing, or do you believe that boxing is fine the way that it is?
Holyfield: I don’t think that the fighters should be the ones who tell people in the boxing commissions what to do. I don’t think that the fighter should get to make the rules as to when somebody should check somebody and all of that.
You’re just the fighter. You don’t get to change the rules. The rules and regulations are the rules and regulations. You don’t get to sit here and all of a sudden, you say that ‘I don’t want to fight a fight unless he takes this other test.’
The commission is supposed to jump in and say, ‘Well, these are the rules for this fight.’ As a fighter, you don’t get to mess with the other person by saying, ‘You need to take this steroid test,’ and all of that.
If his drug test comes up positive after the fight, then he comes up positive. But you don’t get the chance to change it before that. Whatever it [the result] is, that’s what it is. It ain’t never been any other way.
So how can somebody come in and all of a sudden say, ‘Look, I want to check, this, this, this and this?’ Then why do you fight if you feel that the guy is going to cheat?
If steroids don’t come up in the system under the present way that they test, then you don’t get to say, ‘Well, they’ve got other tests,’ and all of that.
The commission is the one that is supposed to make that decision. Either you are going to fight, or you’re not going to fight. If you think the guy is on steroids, and you don’t want to fight, then you don’t fight.
But you shouldn’t have the opportunity to tear down somebody’s integrity just because of what you think.
FH: Do you believe that Manny Pacquiao is right in pursuing a lawsuit in order to defend his integrity?
Holyfield: Yes, because the big thing is that there’s always somebody saying that somebody is taking steroids, and then, once it gets into the papers, then your name is already smut
@ vince…
Yeah, check it out. The talked about the gloves before the fight. He cited drug testing after the fight.
And given the fact that he went on to knock Morales out twice proves the validity of his claims.
Pacs reason for losing to Morales was he wasn’t using Reyes gloves,not from the blood testing.Check it out.
Mr. Williams.
Floyd was virtually un known by casual fans before DLH and the only reason why people are still interested in him is because he made himself out to be a heel.
He didn’t use to be that way. There was a time when he was respectful (relatively)
for the record, every ethnicity has its virtues and downfalls. back to boxing, the author brings up the point of jmm not being asked to give blood. JMM did have to gain 14 lbs in a short amount of time for his fight. Apparently preferential.
lol..alot of pac haters here ey?!
screw all your “steroid assumptions” to the pac! dude, your god mayweathers already said that it aint the modern steroids they are accusing pacman w/…it’s A-SIDE-METH! “were philippines soldiers weren’t motherf*#^&@ dying!”..geez! that was the very-most-funny thing i’ve heard of from the mayweathers!! rofl.
mayweathers followers are nothin but a bunch of dumbos, morons, stupids people! jealousy & envy will eat you alive! be educated! lol.
@ Preston
Ok, I’m mistaken. But my point still stands. Like Arum is the straightest shooter out there. A bad source is a bad source and all you’ve done is trade one for another.
How am I not being objective? I’m not the one who believes rumors of drug use and adultery or banks on the word of a shady promoter.
@ williams…
Google brings up every instance where their names are brought up. To which Manny’s name out does Floyd’s almost 3-1
hey… just google Manny Pacquiao, how many hits? thennnn… google Floyd Mayweather (this should include both jr & sr)
soooo… who’s more popular?
who’s p4p king?
who’s fighter of the year?
fighter of the decade?
who’s one of the highest paid athletes?
Google search both fighters names. Manny Floyd almost 3-1.
……..
That’s because Pacquiao is massive in a third World country, where they’ve got nothing else to be excited about.
wow Phoquiao……you are a typical Pac apologist. Dude, you are the one that said, “A lot of his detractor like to bring up the whole “fear of needles” thing but they also like to ignore the source. That claim came from Kontz.”………..I only corrected you by providing you with the quote and the source, and proving to you that it came from Team Pacquiao, and the best you can say is “Seriously, Your credible source is Bob arum? Dude, you are 100% wrong, and you cant bring yourself to say..”ok, I was mistaken”????……you just showed me that I cant take you seriously b/c you are not just a boxing fan……..you are a Pac loyalist, and you will justify EVERYTHING that he does or says, and you do not have a fiber of objectivity in your bones.
Google search both fighters names. Manny Floyd almost 3-1.
and on the blood weakening Pacquiao….again, it is nobody but Team Paqcuiao whom are looking silly on this one too….. Freddie Roach said that people have to be given cookies when they give blood…..lololol, what the hell is he talking about??? He knows full well that Pac wont be giving that type of blood test………lolol.
@ preston.
Seriously, Your credible source is Bob arum?
And furthermore Mr. Williams
Filipino Kali warriors carry prayers with them to ward of evil spirits, because to them, they are very real. Not saying that other groups aren’t spiritual in their own way. This is just what it means to Filipinos.
Which is another reason why we love him so much. His faith, not his skill, really is his greatest strength, just like our Kali fighters
phocuiao……..sorry dude but you are wrong on the “fear of needles” source, it didnt come from Koncz……..it came from none other than “team Pacquiao. here is ithe quote from BOB ARUM, and the source…….”Manny Pacquiao has a fear of needles, according his promoter Bob Arum.”……http://forums.doghouseboxing.com/index.php?showtopic=150336
How many baby-momma’s does FLoyd have Mr. Williams
I like how you clowns like to pretend that Manny isn’t human and that he’s suppose to be perfect. You can’t even prove that he cheated on his wife outside of him being seen with another woman.
Who’s poster can you get at Albertson’s as a prize for spending money? Who’s face is being put on phone cards? Who’s featured on billboards above Nike town? Who are some of the top MMA fighters trying to emulate? Not Floyd Mayweather
It’s Manny Pacquiao. A fundamentally flawed fighter from a third world country is more popular than Floyd Mayweather in his own backyard.
And he didn’t have to lose a dance competition to get recognition. He did it through his work in the ring.
See, this is where the cultural difference comes into play. Filipinos are very spiritual people and place more importance in principal than image. In Manny’s eyes, it’s not a matter of clearing up rumors. It a matter of not bowing to a person that spreads false rumors.
It’s a hard thing for most to understand because it cost him so much money. Most of us would do naked back flips in Central Park for that kind of money.
But Manny don’t see it that way. One, he doesn’t need the money, and two, he’s not gonna sell out his principles. Cause he aint no sell out.
There is no other way to put it, Floy is a whimp.
If he (Floyd) tells the world that Pacquiao is an easy fight and he is happy with the amount of money he’ll be making then there’s no reason to jeopardise what he asked for. Instead, when all is set and ready for him to sign, he asked to get olympic style testing. Well, he knows that is never been done before. He also knows that it is rediculous. But the thing that is real, he knows that is the only way for him to get out of the fight.
Now if you put all the negotiation in all its time line, you have to be blood related with Floyd, making money off Floyd, or just plain stupid not to see that Floyd is a WHIMP.
to teeee..”So why did he not step up to the plate and say I will do the test, not for Mayweather but for his fans” who says the PACMAN doesn’t want to take the test?? after the fight has been long gone you still don’t get it?? tsk tsk tsk. “His trainer demand that all his opponents come down to manny weight”
catch weight is part of negotiation and as long as it doesn’t exceed to the weight limit of the that particular division they are fighting for. there is no official weight but a limit weight for each division.. i wonder which division you are refering to,, coz pacman got,, what is that again?,, SEVEN?
teeeee says:
February 13, 2010 at 8:30 pm
I usually don’t comment because Of some of U negative writers and readers. But I will make this exception. Manny Pacquio is going in to politics, and part of being a politicain is to do good for people, So why did he not step up to the plate and say I will do the test, not for Mayweather but for his fans.
———————————–
Pacquiao needs nothing to clean his name, if he was tested positive before then he needs to.
Mayweather is doing this just to bring up his popolarity again because he knows Pacquiao is way up there higher than him.
If you are a challenger, then, you step up. Mayweather is the challenger here not Pacquiao. Mayweather is 5 weight champ and Pacquaio has 7 weight division. Now DO THE MATH..WHICH IS BIGGER? 5 OR 7.
if he is serious in cleaning the sport of boxing, he should retire and apply for commissioner of NSAC.
he a proud black man…can’t come to grips someone from another race is better than him
floyd if you want to clean the sport of boxing PLEASE begin with yourself. stop pretending that your not using DRUGS too.
PLEASE stop using XYLOCAINE…
Phoocquiao………..and what you Pac apologists fail to understand, comprehend, and refused to acknowledge is the fact that the alleged rumors surrounding Pac is not just about Mayweather asking for the random blood test. Pac has more than a few of his own peers that have their own questions and problems with him not taking the test……Pac did the greater disservice to himself by fanning the flames to the rumors with the behavior of his camp. Pac had the greatest opportunity….the biggest stage…..and the perfect opponent to beat, and shut up in regards to the PED rumors. How much more sweeter could that had been for Pac????
Teddy Atlas says..”Mayweather is the Greatest Boxer of all Time! He is better than Sugar Ray, better than Ali, better than Tyson! ”
If he is, then why is he scared o the little filipino guy that he has to come up with some steroid demands to avoid fighting the filipino? If I proclaim my self the greatest boxer of all time, I will tell the world..”I DON’T CARE IF PACQUIAO DRINKS A GALLON OF STEROIDS EVERYDAY, I WILL STILL KNOCK HIM DOWN BECAUSE I AM BETTER, STRONGER AND FASTER!!” But No, he is contradictory because he proclaims to be the greatest yet ask a little filipino guy to take random blood test.
But Mayweather also said in his radio interview a few days ago that he also weigh 106 lbs at age 16, the same exact weight of Pacquiao at age 16. And now you weigh 147 lbs. So why are you wondering why Pacquiao weigh 140 lbs and suspects him of taking steroids? Did you take one yourself also when you grew from 106 lbs to 147-160 lbs? Makes me wonder…
Teddy Atlas
Mayweather is the Greatest Boxer of all Time! He is better than Sugar Ray, better than Ali, better than Tyson! Pacquiao is beneath him by a mile. Pacquiao is ducking him because he knows he will be beat. Floyd can easily outbox pacquiao, and any opponent for that matter! Floyd has been cheated of the fighter of the decade which rightfully he deserves, all other boxers are garbage compared to Floyd!
—>Teddy…. if he was better than pacquiao by a mile… he should not have ordered for a drug test … he should have fought pac like he did marquez..no bs drug testing….
Phocquiao, but it was Pacquaio, and not Floyd that said “no”. You have basically just said it didnt matter what Mayweather did because he was going to be at fault anyway………what sort of sense does that make? Team Pacquiao are the ones that gave every excuse, whether legitamate or not, as to why they didnt want to take the test. Since, you seem to have all of the answers, then maybe you can enlightened everyone on what was the real reason Pac didnt want to take the test. The arbitration commitee had to come out and basically put out a disclaimer on how Team Pacquiao….not Team Mayweather, on they tried to portray themselves in the media. Mayweather has moved on and has said that all of his bouts from here on out will be conducted on such terms……why is he doing that if he used the test to back out of the Pac fight? Why did Mosely, an admitted PED user, submit to the same test without ANY questions???? Why hasnt Floyd “backed” out of that fight if blood testing is a ploy????
Any boxer that regards himself as the best ever is delussional,.. mayweather is one sick example.
There’s no doubt Floyd is scared of Pac, extremely scared. Only the Idiots can’t see this but the general viewing public and the majority of boxing fans know that FLOYD IS SCARED TO GO WHERE OSCAR< HATTON< and COTTO went through with Pac inside the ring.
FLOYD believes that if Pac beats him its a game changing carreer to the worst for floyd. Floyd doesn't want that to happen so quick because he needed more fight to earn some money to pay his bills and to support a lavish expensive lifestyle. Floyd in a very desperate and daring way finally came up with a controversial allibi that can guarantee a way out (wiggle out) to avoid a total destruction of his boxing carreer in an embarassing but instant fashion
hahaha, same s**t diff day!
wasnt drug testing pacquiaos out?
@ preston.
It actually makes perfect sense for him to agree to the $10 mil penalty if he was going to use the drug test as an out.
First off all, he can agree to anything and it wouldn’t matter if he never intended to fight Pac to begin with. I’d agree to fight with my pants down if I never intended to get in the ring to begin with.
And furthermore, it makes his out (drug testing) look less like ducking because here he is agreeing to something never heard of (even though he had a past with weight violations) so it only makes sense that he’d request something never heard of.
It became clear that he was using the testing as an out the moment he started suggesting that the fight wouldn’t be clean if they didn’t test. If he didn’t insinuate that Pac was on steroids, he would have no reason to stick to his request so aggressively.
“it will be an easy fight , easy payday , easyier then marquez” “hes a 1 dimensional fighter”
im MONEY mayweather but il reject my biggest payday even thou im nearly broke again u can keep the 40 million il swap that for cleaning up the sport . . the sport comes 1st . . cleaning up the sport pays the bills not 40 million dollers . . how thick are u guys , here’s how it is . . manny has a chance to win floyd knows this, if floyd loses his 2nd fight back from retirment it ruins him finacialy an reputation hes a no one.. its a risk not worth taking yet, when he can fight manny later after he beat a few others an made some $ .. mosley at 39 is to slow for floyd its not as hard fight as u think .
floyd after he loses to mosley after getting only 10 million is going to be so sick.and after everyone seeing a chaseing , holding,chaseing, fight all night long will not buy a rematch.
while pac fight he will have made more than twice amount,floyd record goes down the gutter after this fight,
boxing, the sport where most of the fans exhibit more brain damage than those who are taking it?
Floyd Mayweather accepted a 10 million dollar weight penalty, but he used the blood test to get out of the fight?…….that doesnt add up if you ask me. Didnt Manny actually gave Floyd an out, not with the weight infraction penalty, but with the outrageous amount of 10,000,000 dollars???? Where and how did Pac come up with that figure??? Had any such infraction amount ever been heard of in the history of boxing????? I would think that if Mayweather was “afraid” of Pac, or really didnt want to fight him, then what more of an out would have needed????
it run in the family all mouth no action.bunch of con men. rubbish getto mouths.
Floyds not scared. All this is over egos. He might not want to lose to manny but hes not scared. Im a floyd fan, Manny should take the test and fight him. Thats the best way to shut floyd up. I think manny is using.
jealous + ignorant= floyd mayweather.
I love the sport of boxing since i was at a young age, in the sports, when you want to prove to the world you’re the best, you have to take on the best out there, i know skills don’t appear overnight or buy it package in a capsule, it comes from years of training and dedication to the sports, one must have a warrior attitude , fearless!! if they’re brave enough to want the fight, they can always find a way to make that fight or else don’t want it find a way get out of it.

Floyd (fl o yd) adj. – 1. fearful, scared, afraid, frightened
2. dodge, balk, avoid, evade 3. duck, chicken, scaredy-cat, wimp
No one is scared of NOBODY, It’s all about EGO and PRIDE. Believe me, Mayweather and Pacman will fight no matter what, it’s just too early for a megafight to occur in March 2010, of course TOP RANK wants to milk out more money from Pacquiao before he retires and that is about 2-3 fights more before Manny hangs his gloves. Mayweather would be Pacman’s last fight. I have respects for both Mayweather and Pacman, they are both fighters on their own rights and styles, just 2 different personalities. One is a braggart and one is down to earth and that separates both of them.
What Floyd asked was the right thing. It’s about time all athletes (pro & amateur) should undergo olympic style drug tests. Everybody in the boxing world should stop making money out of boxers pumped up with illegal drugs including the writer of this irrational article. He didn’t even state Manny’s reason for ducking the drug tests. By condemning Floyd’s requests, this writer is indirectly encouraging boxers to shoot their veins up with PEDs. Both Mayweather and Mosley are willing to undergo these same random drug tests.
of course other people want to fight him test or not they can make millions just by getting beat by him. they could find guys off the street to take a million dollar shot. I might even think about it one punch could change my life, even if i never come to my family could be happy. the difference is mayweather is already a millionair. look at how many people failed test for the 2010 winter olympics and tell me boxing doesnt need to do more testing.
paquiao did the right thing not to succumb to wimpy floyd demand, now wimpy floyd is using paquiao name just to promote his fight with mosley. what a dumb ass.
yes mayweather is a wimp and a coward.
hey ralph you are the one on steroids!
I want too lick Manny Pacquiao’s letterbox arse. I want too look into his slant eyes and eat his willy whilst sweaty.
You are a bad Mayweather hater. Pacquiao is the wimp for not taking the tests. Take a test and earn yourself $40 million a have a chance to fight the best fighter in the world.
Ok..pacman request 10million for every pound if he is over wieght..floyd ask for him to take the random test…here comes pacman sayin no because of w.e million reason..is 50 50 not 60 40…pacman man knows he on it..that’s why he walked away from this fight…u think about how ppl would look at him…he fake and a lier…
brahma bull;
Manny has come in overweight more than Mayweather has. Before he had a big name, he came in over the limit against his two toughest opponents.
Any moron coming in overweight for a fight to gain an advantage is a wimp. what kind of p4p king does that? now he’s asking to change the rules of testing. why didn’t he ask to have xylocaine banned from the sport? part of the sport is getting hurt. would it be okay to numb your face or body so you wouldn’t feel the pain of getting hit? if he’s too much of a wuss to not be able to take the pain, he should give up the sport. arthur abraham got his jaw dislocated and came back to win the fight. is he allowed to numb his face each time he fights? is every boxer who has broken a rib allowed to take drugs so that he can’t feel pain?
mayweather keeps talking about pacquiao giving up 25 million. looks more like a chicken giving up 25 million to keep an undefeated record. trust me floyd, when you’re old and can’t box anymore, an undefeated record won’t bring you 25 million for your retirement.
Why are we just discuss basic on the facts and true :
Mayweather is the true xylocaine user.
Mayweather is weight cheater.
Mayweather has criminal records.
Mayweather(Xylocaine vs steroid user.
Manny desn’t need Mayweather, desn’t need Xylocaine, desn’t need steroid. End of the story.
jnr you.ll give him a boxing lesson im fay scotland.i boxed craig mcew fay his club 7 times and beat him 5 all the best fight him and do your magic ma man
Marathon man, even tho i agree with u that pac was wrong. pac is going to destroy clottey
I can’t wait to see Mayweather vs Mosley. It will be like Ali vs Fraizer I. (The big mouth got beat up big time.)
This time Mosley has reach advantage and an active puncher.
If Floyd beats Mosley wouldn’t it do more justice for his legacy since Shane is the number 1 WW? Manny fans talking about Floyd being scared? He scared of Mosley too? Manny scared to take that test. Better start paying attention to Joshua Clottey. Joshua is going to give Manny fans another reason to hate BLACK people.
both fighters dogged it , mannys hiding something and floyds got too big a ego.
I think this argument is a bunch of bologne. People dont seem to get the point. Why is Mayweather so wrong in doing whats right for a sport? Regardless if Mayweather cares about cleaning up the sport, is just singling out Pacquiao, what he ultimately doing is right for the sport. The reason someone like Valero and Mosley said that they wouldnt ask for tests, is because they NEED pacquiao. They are not at the same level as Mayweather and Pacquiao. So no wonder they say they wouldnt ask for that test. The fact is, whether u like the guy or not, whatever his reasons are, they are legit.
I think the person that is hurt the most in this is pacquiao. And one more thing, how is mayweather supposedly scared of pacman, when well over majority of people have him winning?
it is possible to assume mayweather and his camp are horribly scared of fighting the best boxer in the universe right now. They are completely ####.
If Floyd Mayweather has truly the heart of a champion and the GOAT as he himself proclaims, he should have said With or without steroids or HGH thing I will still beat you because I am faster, stronger and better fighter. Preaching that he is cleaning up the sports of boxing only recently is just a pure damn cowardice drama.
The writer only names one fighter who is willing to face Pacquiao without blood testing. Why doesn’t he name more fighters so his article will be more convincing?
mayweather he do chiken right!!! his favorite movie run chicken run!!
No doubt Floyd is scared of Manny who wouldn’t Floyd need to kill the negotiation with his outlandish request for blood tes.
By the way, the last time he took a blood test before a fight and lost, he got so weak that he honestly thought they put something on the needle to make him weak. Ya, Mayweather using dirty psyco tactics. Didn’t work. Lost the contract. What a dumb ass.
I’m all for cleaning up any and all sports. Every sport has had there run in with PED’s so why not have the two top fighters lead the sport into a new era of testing? If the NBA has been tainted by PED’s(Rashad Lewis) then anybody can do it because I really don’t think basketball requires PED’s.
mayweather’s simply scared of pacquiao..cleaning up the sport? rubbish!! he’s a big liar and hypocrite..only a few’s goin to believed him and only those who are such a big-headed like him..
I don´t think Mayweather is scared of Pacquiao. But I am convinced, he is afraid loosing to Pacquiao. I think he can feel that Pacquiao has a big chance defeating him. Mayweather undefeated record 40-0 is his “pride and legacy”. I´m pretty sure he wants to let it be the way it is, until he retires again and this time for good. Everybody can see his insecurity towards Pacquiao. Instead of promoting his own fight against Mosley, he always ends up mentioning Pacquiaos name. He reminds me of Juan Manuel Marquez then. JMM is so obsessed, challenging and chasing Pacquiao for another fight. And when that chance came up, suddenly JMM demanded the random drug test exactly the same Mayweather did.
Don’t believe what you heard of Floyd, since when did he tell the truth?
I would say that he is a very intelligent, crafty and dirty. A true politician scheme, if you cannot beat him malign him.
He will try to beat you psychologically before the fight, distract you, angered you to keep you out of focus. That’s a dirty way of winning.
Nice article.
Is Pacquiao a wimp for refusing to take the test? Whhaaaa im sacred of needles…WIMP!!!!
if floyd wanna fight pac just leave the drug test to the boxing officials,im sure his scared
I really don’t like mayweather but what I have heard is that he agreed to all the terms that PAC wanted and just PAC was the one that didn’t want the testing so I mean they need to set their egos apart and do this for the fans because we the people wanna see a mega fight to take place like the one from Trinidad/de la hoya that was anticipated fight and it paid off so they need to make the fight either one to give in and fight and well see who the real P4P king
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. & SR. ARE THE BIGGEST LOSER & CHICKEN IN BOXING I’VE EVER SEEN. THEY NEED EXCUSES TO GET OUT OF THE FIGHT WITH PACMAN. CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL THEM THAT?
Floyd used the drug test stuff to make the fight fall apart. Floyd is frightened of getting bust up in front of the world.
It hardly makes sense to sign up to fight Mosley if he was scared of Pacman does it? After all, Mosley is bigger, stronger and perhaps more dangerous for Mayweather’s style. Also, if the two of them would have both gave a little bit more both sides there would have been a fight. The fact is both made unprecedented demands, one agreed, the other chose to walk…….
Floyd is afraid of Pac period. Mosley was beaten by Cotto,
and Pac demolished Cotto. Mosley is overrated.
Mayweather is again, cherry picking.
hes afraid of him.
Floyd is a total wimp. He’s scared to fight Pacquiao. I mean…he says he’s just trying to clean up the sport but why did this all begin when he was suppose to fight Pacquiao? Why didn’t he do this when he fought Marques or Hatton or DeLaHoya? He’s scared of Pacquiao, plain and simple.
all of those other fighters are looking to get paid, if they fought floyd they would have no problem taking the drug tests…so your point
you net writers are the worse, you guys are suppose to be boxing fans not boxers fans…how could anyone other than a fighter fan say that cleaning up the sport is a bad thing. more so what clean fighter would pass up a 25 to 50 million pay day when they know they will pass- you cant say pacman is good for the sport on one hand and make excuses for not helping move the sport in the right direction.
FLOYD! yes he is.It seems that he is alone for random blood testing to introduce in boxing. It will not happen his demand to P4Pking Pacman.
I THINK THE MAYWEATHER CAMP HAVE HEARD SOMETHING BEHIND THE SCENES, ALL THIS PEDS TALK DOESNT COME FROM NOWHERE.
I LIKE BOTH FIGHTERS, BUT I THINK MOSLEY IS A MORE DANGEROUS OPPONENT THAN MANNY. SO HOW CAN FLOYD BE SCARED ?. IM NOT SO SURE.
No hes just knows how corrupt boxing is, i dont blame him!! how ca manny say he h8′s blood testing, look at his tattooed body FFS. why lose ya unbeaten record to some1 who MIGHT be using PED’s. Its not worth the risk, plus im happy with mosley – mayweather, them 2 dnt like each other and could be good fun to watch. the fight anf the build up to that ul be great. and lets be honest here, they may still fight each other yet.
