People can hate on Mayweather all they want!!! Believe it when you see it. . . Mayweather will give Manny Pacquiao a Boxing lesson when they meet & Freddie knows it too.
Pacman fans should start making up excuses now for Manny cause that dude could’nt hit Mayweather in a phone box.
*************************************************************

Lol you talk crap like Mayweather Sr. when he was with hatton. And After Pacman eat hatton whole where was mayweather Sr?.So yes go ahead and keep talkin $h!7 about pac, but “We” pinoys know that mayweather will not even come close to winning against pac.

And to all, read this clearly..

MANNY AGREED TO TAKE THE SO CALLED BLOOD TEST “RIGHT AFTER”
THE FIGHT..But seems like g@yweather still wants more…

Now let me ask you. Taking the blood test right after the fight is still not enough for you?

pacman is sauced up… its not his fault, hes a puppet to all these guys they dont give a st about him… how can manny say he’s not on roids? Even Ariza said and i quote “I’m responsible for what manny puts in his body. Manny has no idea of what i make but it is all legal, if anyone doubts it, they can test.” Ariza, Koncz, and Arum are using this man as a money making puppet, once he falls from grace roach will be the only man behind him… its just crazy how he walked away from 25 mill all Roach says is how he wants floyd, but wouldnt you go out of your way to prove your innocence.. but i know how $1 american money is like 2 million in the phillipines

broke is called broke for a reason…he is in a losing battle with IRS…..and that is why he is back in the ring. He won’t be able to pay the bill that he owes IRS by slapping around smaller guys….so he overplayed his match with pacman…and lost 40 million bucks. broke now has to fight a real welterweight…and more of them after that

I predict Fairweather will come down with a rib injury about 3 weeks from the MOSLEY fight .

@X-ray

You omitted a very important fact i.e. MANNY PACQUIAO AGREED TO SUBMIT TO BLOOD TEST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIGHT.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED FROM THE MAN?

@haku313, it is not about only ONE test and how many days out that ONE test will be. It is multple tests. Unlimited. All the time. All during training, right up until that 14 day cut off date. Maybe if it were only ONE test, it would be different. Roach was referring to one test. Manny already agreed to muliple, unlimited random urine tests with no cut off date plus 3 blood tests includingone right after the fight. Floyd doesn’t care about detecting drugs. If he did, then what manny already agreed to would be more than enough for that. This is all about Floyd imposing his will upon Manny and harrassing him and disrupting his training. You need to take off your Mayweather tinted glasses and see things objectively.

Floyd is forgettable, no one will remember that gangster wannabe 3 days after he retires. When i hear that name, it’s like who cares.

@dezzie, great post!

Kray, looks like they DID finally post my comment. Great. Just one more thought for the night to make my point. If Floyd came out of his fight smellng like a rose, sensational dominant knockout, 2M ppv buys, exciting fight, etc. and if Pac’s fight was boring and bombed and he ekked out a close decision, IF, (I am just saying IF) the WADA and the USADA and the NSAC all came out with a joint statement declaring a breakthough in urine testing and EVERYONE, INCLUDING EVEN VICTOR CONTE, declared that his new urine test plus maybe saliva, will detect everything that blood will and more and even do it better, would you think Floyd should have the right to demand that Manny take the blood tests anyway, just because Floyd is the man and the man says so because he wants Pac to go thru a little pain for the privilege of fighting him? May’s whole position is that the blood testing had nothing to do with egos or dictating terms but only about ensuring an even plaing field. If there was a sure fire non invasive way of detecting these drugs, Floyd should have no right to demand his opponent take them, I don’t care how big he thinks he is. Drug testing should be about detecting drugs, and not about one fighter trying to impose his will upon another.

Thanks Red. Now we just have to get everyone else to agree with us.

@domino– Floyd is clever…he is not DIABOLICAL. Pac fans are characterizing Floyd as the “Lex Luther” of boxing, who finally found “Superman’s” kryptonite. This seems to be your belief, along with other Pac fans, and it’s NOT rooted in fact. You are clearly OVERESTIMATING these two men.

I will attempt to paraphase this. The ORIGINAL propostion was for OSDT (meaning UNLIMITED, RANDOM blood and urine) up to the fight. Manny wanted non random and scheduled blood testing, unlimited urine, with a 30 day cutoff. Floyd dropped the OSDT and asked for simply RANDOM blood and urine, with a 14 day cutoff, using the agency of Manny’s choice. Manny then changed to a 24 day cutoff, after it was brought to his attention he did a blood test 24 days before the Hatton fight. He would not budge off the 24, nor would Floyd budge off the 14, so no fight. Floyd is saying next time around, should he be holding the most chips, he will go back to the ORIGINAL proposition, mentioned above, and ask for a bigger slice. There is no deception, or confusion, in what he said. It’s possible PBF may compromise his stance, as he did before, but, they will have to start from the beginning again. This is not harrassment, domino, this is BUSINESS. Manny can always just find another opponent, as he did with Clottey–who will not ask for a test of any kind and in a venue whose commission does not do ANY steroid testing, by default–if he does not like the offer. Or he can just retire altogether, as he said he would. This is hardly PBF, imposing his will on Manny. It is a REQUEST, which he was willing to compromise on to make the fight. And Manny chose to clear his name in COURT, as opposed to the “squared circle”. THAT IS A FACT.

Things like glove, ring size, venue, purse, DRUG TESTING, are negotiation points, in regards to the contract. They are by definition BUSINESS matters. Strategies inside the ring are NOT BUSINESS matters, but, may be directly or inderectly affected by decisions made in the boardrom.

As far as Shane being the bigger than Floyd, come on man. This fight will put more in Shane’s bank acct. than he has, probably, EVER made, for 1 fight, in his entire career. Marquez has NEVER had as big of a payday, as when fought Floyd. Hatton has NEVER had as big of a payday, as when he and Floyd fought. ODLH has NEVER had as big of payday, as when he fought Floyd (and the reverse is true for Floyd in this fight). So you see domino, SSM is not the bigger draw for this fight. While he will bring his share of fans, he is not the STAR of the show.

manny is the one whose scared. TAKE THE DRUG TEST.

This article has “FEAR” written all over it. Let’s examine how the negotiations between the two camps first started and why this fight didn’t materialize. Both agreed on 147, ring size, 8 oz. gloves, location, 10M penalty over one lb. From here it was smooth sailing until MAYWEATHER SR. start
accusing PACQUIAO of using ‘roids’. Why? Does SR. knows JR. cannot beat PACQUIAO after what has happened to HATTON and COTTO?

SR. was already implying about the use of roids since after PACQUIAO-HATTON fight. Then FLOYD drops the bomb of Olympic style RBT while GBP joins the bandwagon with relentless roids accusations. Again why? This is to suggest that there is a conspiracy to avoid PACQUIAO and there is only one explanation for this non-sense accusations and stupid demand >>> “FEAR”

@Kray, I haave to disagree. Sure FLoyd’s fight should do better than Pac’s, but only because of Mosley, not because of Floyd. If Pac was fighting Mosley and Floyd was fighting Clottey, Pac’s fight would do better too. Therefore that is not a good yardstick to go by because there opponents are very different. It is not Pac’s fault that Mosely was not available at the time he went looking for an opponent. He had a shrinking deadline too of Mar 13th because of his political agenda.

And, not it is NOT “just business” when it comes to the blood testing. It IS “just business” when it comes to the purse split. IF Floyd feels he can get away with a larger share of the purse, he should go for it. Never mind that it will surely scuttle the fight, the same as if Pac insisted on the lion’s share, but both fighters can surely ask for it. As, Arum said. GBP will tell him all the reasons why Floyd should get more and ARum will tell them all the reasons why Pac shoudl get more, but if you want the fight, just frigging split it. But the UNLIMTED AND RANDOM BLOOD TESTING…. THAT is an entirely different story. I wasn’t there when the first draft of the contract was written up so I am not qualified to comment on whether or not the cut off date was ever agreed to at 0 days or not. But demanding a larger share of the purse. THAT is “just business”. Maybe a little bit stupid on Floyd’s part, unless he just doesn’t want the fight, but still it is “just business”. But the blood testing is NOT “just business”. There can be no business reason for proposing a 14 day cut off that would be acceptable to Floyd and then announcing that, if there is a “next time” he will insist it to go to 0 days. He is admitting that he is using the blood testing as a form of pure harrassment because he knows how much Pac dislikes it, whereas blood testing doesn’t botter him one bit. If he were to say that he wanted the change frm 14 to 0 days because he was concerned, after further reflection, that 14 days may not catch a cheater and 0 days was required to be absolutely sure, that would be one thing. But that is NOT what he was saying. No, the REASON he gave, without saying it, was that he is the king and if Pac was unhappy about 14 days out, NOW, if he wants the fight, he will have to be even MORE unhappy because NOW the king is demanding 0 days out, for no other reason than that he is demanding that Pac bow down and acknowledge him as the king. Long live the king.

why wrong with floyd mayweather sr new interview .?
now he say manny not taking steroid,wtf say he dont know what its is but something.qoute{ It’s not a steroid. It’s something from the Philippines. Something they use in the army. When you hit the guy with a .45 or a .38 and they keep coming after they get shot. Whatever it is it has to be something strong for you to keep coming forward after you get shot,” Mayweather Sr. said. man lost,and need help.

they cant comprehend really…
1. floyd beat JMM badly, who gave manny a hard fight. well, as most floyd fans say, we can also say that, JMM was already a shot fighter when Floyd fought him, not to mention he went up two weight classes to fight Floyd, who then went 2 lbs over the agreed weight.
2. manny beat hatton in 2 at 140, where hatton was at his best; floyd beat hatton at 147, where hatton was not comfortable, where it took floyd longer to beat him.

Your not a really good at analyzing boxing. Juan Manuel Marquez lost against Maywaether because Juan Manuel is not a real welter or light welter wieght. clearly the weight JMM gained didnt do him any good. he had slow hand speed and slow reaction. AND mayweather is afraid of anyone who he feels has a chance of beating him. First mayweather complained about his share of the profit when that was settled he wanted manny to take blood tests. Manny said he would take the test just not to close to the actual fight. then mayweather disagrees. Blood testing will affect an athletes performance, and mayweather knows that. so he’ll have an advantage. why didnt he ask JMM to take a blood test?…Mayweather is not afraid of other fighters he is afraid of losing that 0. why did he come out of retirement to fight a smaller fighter that is not even in his weight class. i am not saying he shoulda came out of retirement and fight an elite boxer. I am saying he coulda chose someone in his weight class that did not have to do any extra work to gain weight or put on muscle…at least some one like andre berto…for example. why does he, all of a sudden want to fight mosley, after ducking him for a year or two. I mean mosley is an ELITE fighter, he is an actual welterwieght, could it be that mayweather belives his (mosley) age will hinder mosleys speed or abilities? MAYWEATHER IS NOT SCARED OF FIGHTERS! HE IS SCARED OF LOSING.

If I am Pacman I say to mayweather if you dont want to fight me than dont fight me and pursue you agenda of cleaning up the sport in your own time in the mean time I am going to continue to box anyone who is willing to fight me within the current rules of boxing and when I retire, I will use my influence that being the most accomplished fighter of my era
to help make boxing better for the fans

It’s been several months since Floyd Mayweather Sr., the convicted drug smuggler, former trainer of Money Mayweather, first made his steroids accusations public and yet Team Mayweather has failed to proved any form of tangible proof that would implicate Pacquiao other than Roger Mayweather’s Philippine history lecture on how bullets used to bounce off Filipino soldiers 500 years ago because they were on a drug called A-Side Meth. Pacquiao has no ties with the people Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were connected with. No history of any failed tests that were administered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The same tests and commission that caught fighters like Fernando Vargas riding dirty. I repeat, there’s been no evidence of Pacquiao’s doping, no connections with shady people and nothing except a Roger Mayweather fictional tale. I say fictional because America didn’t even exist 500 years ago so how in the world will they try to invade the Philippines on top of drugs causing bullets to bounce and people not dying? Must be watching too much of that Twilight crap Roger. But there’s much evidence on the fact that Pacquiao has had a history with blood tests and felt weak afterwards. And so the real deal is, Floyd Mayweather Jr. turned his back on 50 million dollars because of an urban legend from Uncle Roger? Okay, let’s incorporate all their other baseless assertions like Pacquiao’s getting bigger and him not getting knocked out by Cotto and saying he is knocking out people since he climbed upwards of 130. Fact is, Pacquiao was knocking people out before he turned 130 and that his overall weight gain in the past 5 years is about 4 pounds. Again you want to read facts about that, So who turns his back on 50 million dollars based on baseless hunches and made up rules and demands not being given in to? If you were to be paid a lot of money to work at a place where there are baseless rumors about, would you walk away from it? And the prestige: “Why won’s Floyd just fight Pacquiao like he did everybody else?” I got 3 letters for you.. K.. F.. C.

Asking for unprecedented medical tests that are not part of boxing is a deal breaker because you’ve become an administrator, not an athlete. Floyd simply found another creative way to duck a tough opponent. It’s always some reason or another but the evidence is in the trend: 5 years at 147, 0 top opponents at 147. You Floyd fans can continue slobbering his knob. Have fun.

It is so obvious that pac is scared of Floyd. He should be, Floyd will knock him out in about 4 rounds. pac is the most overrated boxer in history. He is a nobody and never was until he beat some washed up guys.

Blood testing or not I think Floyd doesnt want to fight Manny. If manny agreed to the testing demend of Floyd initially, Floyd would have found another excuse for not fighting Manny. Only the people close to Floyd knows the real score and thats his family, advisers and GBP.

@jeckyl i have a question. Does the olympic style drug testing between mosley and mayweather has started? we know that mayweather does not follow the contract like coming overweight from marquez fight. my question since the olympic style blood testing not sanction by the commission. What assurance its a accurate test? IF does mosley or mayweather skip some suppose to be test. Is there a penalty for not skipping or doing the random test? overweight = penalty. skip a test = penalty??100k$??? You can see the disturbing effect of the olympic style random blood testing mayweather jr is asking.

When Floyd came out and said that, “Pac had his chance. NOW if he wants the fight, he will have to give me 40% of his half and make the new purse split 70/30 AND, ADDITONALLY, because he so disrespected me by refusing to bow down and pay homage to the kind, I will NOW require the random and unlimited blood testing all the way up to the day of the fight. ” Guess what Floyd? You are BUSTED!! You just exposed yourself. We caught you. Essentially, you just came out and showed the world, that the REAL reason you were asking for the unrelenting and constant and random blood testing has NOTHING TO DO with any actual concern you mihgt have about testing for any drugs Pac may be taking. It is invasive, you know how much Pac doesn’t like it, and now you are saying, “oh yeah? Well NOW you are going to have to submit to even MORE of those invasive blood tests that you say bother you so much” I could understand if the REASON why you wanted to change the cut off date from 14 days out to the day of the fight was because the tests would be more accurate, or less chance for Pac to get away with cheating without being caught. But NOOOOOO, THAT is not the reason you want to change the cut off date frm 14 to the day of the fight. The reason YOU stated for the change was because essentially YOU are the great Floyd Mayweather. All roads lead to you, right. You said that Pac, “had his chance” And the reason for the change in your cut off dates demands are simply because you are the man. The king. Either Manny will bow down and allow you to dictate to him and show the world that you can make him sit up and beg when you snap your fingers or there is no fight. The ONLY reason for the cut off date change is to say to Pac, “ok, you didn’t like itt14 days out, NOW I am going to make you submit to 0 days out, for the prvilege of fighting me. You just caught yourself Floyd. Put your foot way into your mouth. Dumb coward.

Mitch im no Pacman fanatic, think hes brilliant but i dont care if he wins or loses or what ever.

But i dont think for 1 second hes taking PEDs. I just think everybodys been sucked into what Mayweathers been doing and saying.

If Manny Pacquiao had no problem with needles and blood taking like it did last time he gave random tests (which proved to be negative) then Mayweather would not even be asking for them.

But in most cases i think your right, it is guna play on alot of peoples minds and its a damn shame, Not only has this Fraud Floyd Mayweather connded us and plyed us with his self loving crap about how great he is, he then doesnt go on to prove it COUNTLESS times, then walks awya from what could of been one of the greatest fights EVER and not only that has managed to MASSIVLY tarnish the reputation of an innocent and world class boxer.

PAC IS AFFRAID OF FLOYD. HE IS ESSENTIALLY SAYING “I’LL FIGHT YOU ON ROIDS AND THATS IT.” “IF YOU REFUSE, THEN YOU ARE AFFRAID.”

Pacquiao has nothing to lose by fighting Mayweather, he already has 3 losses in his career and even if he lost the fight -No Biggie, its Mayweather he fought, right?!?! Not only that but there’s way too much money for any fighter to turn down just for a damn fight. I believe Pacquiao would welcome that money with open arms considering his very humble beginnings and the financial state of his country. Could you imagine what 50 million or more US dollars would mean in the Philippines? -So when a guy like Pacquiao says he doesnt like needles and he feels weak if its too close to the fight or maybe he has some “supertitious” reasoning…whatever it is, I dont see him using it as an excuse to get out of a fight with Mayweather! This would be the biggest money fight for both careers and Floyd’s name is “Money” right? Afterall that was his excuse for ducking fighters in the past like Moseley and Margarito claiming that a fight with them “dont make sense” cause they’re not big draw fights! Well now he’s backed his ass up in 2 corners, a forced fight with Moseley and less money than he would’ve made with Pacquiao. But Hey, at least he got the blood testing right…

Funny thing is that, until MANNY agrees to RANDOM TESTING, even his truest fans will always have at least a small piece of doubt in their minds. IF MANNY HAS NOTHING TO HIDE, HE SHOULD TAKES THE TESTS ANYTIME AND ANY PLACE! All that I am hearing from MANNY are EXCUSES! I don’t think that MAYWEATHER should fight him without RANDOM TESTING!!!

Floyd struggled against Oscar and Manny beat Oscar like he was a stepchild. Styles make fights. Marquez is a counter puncher and was tailor made for Floyd. Everyone knows if you follow Floyd around waiting patiently to counter you are going to end up looking like a jackass. Floyd jabbed and hooked Marquez all night and when Marquez was ready to throw Floyd either tied Marquez up or he got out of harms way leaving Marquez having to start the waiting game all over again. It did not help that Marquez was carrying extra weight either which made him slower to react. Manny gave Marquez more chances to counter because of his aggresiveness. Marquez being at his natural weight was alot faster than when he faught Floyd. But I agree with Manny. He does not need to fight Floyd especially if Floyd does not want to fight. Manny is already a hall of famer and he won’t have the word cherrypicker come up when his name is mentioned. Floyd did not fight Costya and now the same thing is happening with Manny. If Manny fights Mosely after negotiations with Floyd fails alot of fans will be satisfied with Manny’s career.

you Pacquio crybabies keep trying to bring up xylocain being illegal in all states but nevada shows two things. one is that you are all spoon fed your info like babies because prior to whatever article you read it in you never even heard it. and two if it is legal in nevada can you tell me which hgh, ped, steroid, etc are legal in any state? didn’t think so

mr. sean, it iss the other way around, floyd is afraid of pacquaio. this unprecedented blood testing coming from this family of frauds and criminals, the mayweathers should not be taken seriously by this people who all knew no reason or evidence to pin pacquiao down of this false roids accusation. you cant blame pacquiao if he chooses to not fight mayweather, it’s not his fault. the real nature of pacquiao doesnt include cowardice and not taking his back from challenges. if ever this floyd fight really happens, that’s the death of floyd mayweather!

You can’t really compare Marquez v Pacquiao and Marquez v Mayweather because Floyd made Marquez, a natural lightweight, gain alot of weight by making the fight happen at welterweight. That means that Floyd was way bigger than Marquez and Marquez was much slower because of the extra weight. In my book that shows how much of a coward Floyd really is. Marquez is a better fighter than both Pacquiao and Mayweather. Floyd just didn’t have the guts to move down and meet him in the middle, at light welterweight, which would have been fairer for both fighters.

@anonymous
The latest interview of Floyd sr. he said that he might be wrong accusing Pacquiao of steroids but he is sure that their is some thing and it’s from the philippines that if you are hit by 45′s or 38′s and your still coming their must be something wrong,based on this thinking of Floyd sr. I will not give weight on this nonse after all he started this crap.

Do Pro-PBFs even wonder for once that why them and their idol was asked about the reality, they can’t answer any straight up? Instead here they are if not making circular argument, they just keep pointin’ fingers and criticize. Will it never change?

@ ananymous

Where is the evidence that it is better? Even in any trials, words of mouth are not credible to support any case. so please stop with that sh*t until you show us as such. So if facts r facts like what you say, why does not all testing centers and scientific community agree to such. If Cotto ain’t th #1 WW of the moment, he should not be the champ by that time.
Yup like you said, bloodtesting can be on the contract, and if its not mandated, it can well be compromised. But in the first place, why would you make things complicated if everything is clear on the table like the justified “efficiency” of bloodtest.

and david.

u talk about contracts. wel random blood testing can b on a contract as well.

@kray

Thats why there are “limits” and “division” in boxing. You could either fight in boxing division weight limit or you could fight in boxing division weight range. If you are a champ in one division, it means you can fight in any weight under the range of that division. That is why there is contract to agree, and under the contract is the weight they should be in the weigh-in. If they agree, that means that they could handle the fight in the given weight and will not make any excuses.

@irish boy–It actually makes more sense to fight the best WW out there. Prior to the selection of Cotto, Roach stated that he felt SSM was Pac’s toughest matchup, then Cotto, then Floyd. Cotto’s debatable win over SSM was prior to his career altering beat down, by Margacheato. Cotto has not looked as dominant in any fight since…and that is common knowledge. Roach chose option 2, as opposed to whom he considered the toughest WW out there, SSM. To make matters worse, Cotto, the champion, had to come down to 145, or risk relinquishing his belt, which he obtained at the WW limit! So, just for this fight, they, basically, had the WW limit moved down two pounds. The CHAMP had to move down to this artificial limit, to accommodate Roach’s and Manny’s “insecurities”.

It makes more sense to fighht Cotto who beat Mosley right?

@ukansadoff — Manny flat out DUCKED Shane Mosley. In fact, even being offered all the advantages, more money, 142lb catchweight, etc…his Father, Freddie Roach, still told SSM he was “too good” to fight Manny. So, you are saying that Manny is not afraid to lose? PLEASE! He’s been carefully paired with fighters that Roach can predict with certainty that Manny will beat. Clottey is no exception. Roach is predicting a KO of a fighter, who has never been stopped, in his 15 year career!

Of course Floyd is afraid of losing his zero…especially if he suspects foul play from his competitor. Someone with his ego, would at least want to make sure he lost it, fair-and-square. Who would not want maintain a perfect record? It’s a hell of an achievement. Calzaghe isn’t coming back to silence Froch, because, as he said, “46-0 is not the same as 46-1″, if he happens to lose. So important is Calzaghe’s “0″ to him, he said that if he lost it, he would regret ever coming back just for the sake of pride and money. Why should it be any less important to Floyd? If this was supposed to be the biggest challenge of his career, it makes sense to eliminate any doubt, in his mind, that there is a level playing field. And if he was scared of Manny he would’ve NEVER compromise on testing up to the fight. Remember, Manny’s “superstition” is based on taking an unexpected blood test 2 DAYS before that Morales fight. 14 days > 2 days…

But, the fact is that Floyd is putting that “0″, on the line, with the best WW, out there, SSM. The same SSM who was “too good” for Manny to fight.

Yes Manny just like you are afraid of needles

In fairness, Pacquaio’s fights against Marquez were at a much lower weight than welter and Floyd did come in well over the agreed catch weight for the Marquez fight. Marquez’s body hasn’t adapted to be able to fight at such a high weight and Pacquaio’s has. I think Pacquaio v Marquez at welter would be a whole different story and not one i’d like to read!

@dezzie–Are you serious? Athletes in many different sports use numbing agents, like Xylocaine. It is not a PED. It is not illegal. Your argument makes no sense. But, you are entitled to support whomever you want. This does not improve him as a boxer like PEDs would. This does not make him smarter, faster, stronger, or give him more stamina. This does not prevent him from injuring his hands. If it were giving him some unfair advantage over other fighters, it would be on WADA’s list of banned substances. The fact that he’s admitted it, means that he has nothing to hide about that. I, for one, respect him more for doing so. Say what you want about PBF, but after May 1, we will know for sure that 2 of the top 3 P4P fighters in the sport, are fighting in a clean fight. I cannot say the same for the March 13 bout…

@dezzie

with those brittle hands, 40 have come and 40 have fallen. You can say he is on drugs or whatever. He use a legal substance that alot of boxers and other ahtletes you. This drug is not illegal in any state. So, yes he admitted to using a legal prescribed drug.

“Some boxing fans feel that Pacquiao didn’t want to fight Mayweather, and saw the random blood tests as a reason to get out of a fight that might have ended badly for Manny. As good as Pacquiao is, there would be a good chance that he would lose to Mayweather.”

This is how a lot of true boxing fans see it: Mayweather saw the random blood tests as a reason to get out of a fight that will end badly for Floyd, Jr. As good as Mayweather thinks he is, there is a strong possibility among boxing fans and fighters that he would get knocked da f*ck out!

In these situations you can tell wich athletes use and wich don’t. the ones the don’tt take PEHDs will be fully in favor of drug testing as they want a level playingfield with no advantage to drug users. Athletes that use drugs are against such drug testing… for example, Manny pacc- known steroid user

Heh, even Fedor Emelianenko is now pro-drug testing.

So two of the best fighters in the world have taken stances completely opposite to that of Manny Pacquiao.

Too funny, now the Pactard army is going to try and attack Fedor.

LOL.

Clottey is not scared of PACMAN, Mosely won’t impose the blood testing as he is not scared of PACMAN. In fact a number of the top fighters who wants to match their skills against the fighter of the decade will not be demanding the blood testing as they are not scared of PACMAN.

Come on PBF, be a man next time you are given an opportunity to be on the ring with the no 1 P4P. Drop all this silly demands and let the boxing commissions do their thing as they have done for several decades.

PBF, conquer your hidden fear and give your fans the fight that they wanted: MANO MANO with the PACMAN.

If PAC fights JMM @ 145 now it would be one sided.
PBF is scared of PAC because he was afraid of top welterweights to begin with and PAC made them look like a sparing parner. PBF did not even fight a top welterweight yet.

It’s not “MAYBE”, “HE IS AFRAID OF PACQUIAO”!

Pacquiao is a true clown!!!!!! This dude has fought nothing but BUMS! And washed up fighters with the exception of Morales and Marquez! Before he fought Morales he had fought nothing but NO NAME BUMS! Now, Floyd is scared of him because he asked the man to take random drug test? Get Lost clown

1st did any of u read cross eyed midgets post? please stroll down an read it an tell me wht u think

Mayweather is no match to Pacquiao, mano a mano, Mayweather will go down. Mayweather is the ultimate cheater, eh JMM?

propps@losses come ,its happen ,but you get better.

yeah 48 ko an wht about the 3 losses?

Manny Pacquiao,

It’s simple, people are asking you to take an olympic-style random blood test because you are a suspected PEDs user. Your childish excuses for refusing to take the tests simply comfirm people’s suspicions.
It’s also unfortunate that you should end up with a lot of question marks over your record but you only have yourself to blame.

@cody, I agree with you. This has nothing to do with drugs. Floyd simply wanted to impose his will onto Manny. To show him he could make him his h. He knows how much Manny doesn’t like having his blood taken and he thought, “oh yeah? You don’t like it? OK, how about I start a rumor that you are taking PEDs and then insist you take a needle in your arm over and over and over all throughout your training in order to clear your name that I have so brilliantly smeared. That’s what you get for daring to challenge the great Floyd Mayweather”. Manny doesn’t need Floyd and he is not going to ask “how high” Whenver Floyd snaps his fingers and tells him to jump. The fact that Floyd’s new position is that he wants blood testing all the way up t walking into the ring,just proves he is afraid of Manny and doesn’t want the fight. And if that won’t do it, he can always demand 75% of the purse to ensure the fight never happens. What a coward.

@HD

Different styles of fights. Roach ALWAYS saw Mayweather as an easier match-up for Manny than Mosley. That doesn’t mean he thinks Mosely’s better against Floyd.

You’ve heard the term, “Styles make fights,” yes? If you haven’t, just look at these three fighters for evidence:

Vernon Forrest, Ricardo Mayorga, Shane Mosely.

Or look at these guys:

Kelly Pavlik, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins.

Or to some extent you can try these FOUR:

Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard.

It’s not as straight forward as saying Fighter “A” beat Fighter “B”, so of course Fighter “C” can logically beat Fighter “B” as well.

It doesn’t work that way. In fact, often times Fighter “C” will beat Fighter “A” with such ease that you have to question the original win by Fighter “A” even though it turns out to be totally legit.

Styles……. Make……. FIGHTS.

What’s up with Floyd Mayweather? A true champion never quits before a fight! Does Floyd know that fighting in the ring is his profession and running scared before a fight is not in the vocabulary and heart of a champion ? Now, who believes in you now Floyd M who carries the “face” of a hype fighter with “ziltch” heart of a fake champion ?…A loser doesn’t mind running away…from a fight!

Mayweather wants you to believe Pacquiao is the one who pulled out of the fight in January because he wouldn’t agree to all of Floyd’s – NOT the Nevada State Commission’s – but Floyd’s personal demands for excessive random blood testing. But the little-known truth is, Mayweather advisor Al Haymon’s associate George Peterson told me the decision to cancel the Pacquiao-Floyd was made as far back as early December – obviously, because Team Mayweather concluded a boxing match against Manny Pacquiao was a “no win situation.” Yes, a severely brutal knockout loss at the fists of a smiling Asian man is a no-win situation indeed for an arrogant pretender like Mayweather.

Thats funny!!! I love how everybody runs their yap about a guy that runs his yap. in the ring is where i like floyd i dont care about how he is outside the ring like all you females but he does need to fight. I dont think pacs a cheater but taking something to numb your repeatedly broken hand and taking something that could possibly open your lungs are totally different thats like saying dwight freeney cheated for numbing his ankle. Im not a flomo but i do like defense and counter punching but you gotta appreciate pac this writer is dumb too for saying that he doesnt think floyd scared because if he aint scared hes just an a** for not providing the fans with possibly some of the most exciting fights of this era. I Just hat how everyone has a man crush on this guy. sure i know u guys like to insult floyd i understand he makes it easy but think about it this way this is boxing and hyped up or not every pro has atleast some skill now how many guys out their right now can literally prevent you from hitting them.

Very true about not being able to compare how one fighter did against another fighter. I’ve said this before, compare Taylor/Hopkins/Pavlik. Taylor beat Hopkins, Pavilk beat Taylor, and Hopkins beat Pavlik. So comparing Floyd vs JMM and Manny vs JMM is an invalid argument. It’s about the two fighters in the ring and how they match up against each other. I believe that each fighter would be facing something they’ve never faced in the ring if they fight each other. It would either be Floyd by UD or Manny by KO. If the fight were to take place and Manny decides to do the testing he should request that Xne not be used in the fight or request the fight to take place in another state besides Nevada, that way both sides have an equal fight.

it’s true floyd is not the barometer of a true fighter!he’s not even in the top 10 of the greatest boxers in the world!if floyd continues to throw his weight around there’s no need for the fight to push thru…without the fight floyd will surely be the biggest loser in boxing in and out of the ring.

Has Manny ever tested positive for anything? Floyd talks about “cleaning up boxing”…….has any of his opponents tested positive? What’s this crusade all about? Just wondering….

Manny Pacquiao ducked Joan Guzman for years. Manny Pacquiao also ducked Zahir Raheem because he was afraid that he might end up like Erik Morales who beat Manny Pacquiao before. So he instead fought two rematches against Zahir Raheem’s left overs in Erik Morales. Rather than fighting Zahir Raheem, he fought a washed up Erik Morales who just lost to Zahir Raheem. Manny Pacquiao went on to duck all of the best fighters in the lightweight division and fought only the weakest fighter in that division. When Manny Pacquiao pulled out of the fight against Ricky Hatton because he wanted more money. He wanted a 60%-40 split of the purse. During this time, Floyd Mayweather Jr offered Manny Pacquiao a deal to fight. Manny Pacquiao turned down the deal because Bob Arum does not want to work with Floyd Mayweather Jr, but mostly because Manny Pacquiao is afraid of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Manny Pacquiao then agreed to fight Ricky Hatton on 52%-48% split of the purse. Afterwards, Manny Pacquiao also ducked Shane Mosley. Now, Manny Pacquiao is ducking Floyd Mayweather Jr again.
