Does Floyd Mayweather Jr. fear Manny Pacquiao?

Nice article… You really get what in mayweathers’ mind and heart… Now they are just waiting when PACMAN career will fade before barking for a fight….

It’s obvious Floyd is afraid of fighter named Pac , not on any illegal substances supposedly taken by any fighter before the fights. First, Floyd fight fighters with proven substance takers . Second, Pac already agreed on test Floyd wants.Now, Floyd is silent… that means he is afraid.

Manny Pacquiao in my opinion is a Gladiator just the ultimate fighting machine
come on honestly lets be real here who would you really rather watch fight? me personally i wanna see knockouts combos and bloody faces that what we really pay to watch right?
when i was younger i used to watch mayweather fight cause there was always soo much hype before all of his fights he promoted it well but everytime i was alwasy dissapointed cause the fights were soo boring i eventually gave up watching him. then this guy pacman comes around from the first time ive seen his fight and from watching him turn into the ultimate killing machine, he is the reason why i still watch boxing!!
the guys know how to put on a show with his furious combonations and laying his opponents flat on there back . he makes people jump up off there seats!!

Didn’t Roach say for Pac to win, he would have to fight the “perfect fight”?

mayweather is really afraid to fight pacman.floyd is only good to fight if he thinks his opponent is beatable but for pacman he can not beat that is why he had so many alibis even if pacquiao agrees to the demand of mayweather regarding the blood testing.whatelse mayweather will ask?it is better for floyd to retire forever for his own good and cowardness.
no more alibis no tax.

our boy PACMAN is the men to beat . . .mayweather will NEVER FIGHT OUR BOY because he’s a fighter that hides under his father’s underware and under the skirt of his mother just to avoid PACMAN!hahaha

you just hit the BULLSEYE !!! Ouch …IT HURTS..

I cant think of any other reasons why floyd wont fight pacquiao.Can you?

My dear fan of my arch rival,

That is what I can’t understand.
I’m 41 and 0. When I walk the streets of Vegas, there should be a carpet where I walk on.
When I visist Grand Rapids, there should be a parade.
I should be on a float, like him. Sorrounded by tens of thousands of cheering fans.
I don’t understand.
I’m 41 and 0.

Here’s s REAL Shakespeare for you:

“Fear no more the lightning-flash,
Nor the all-dread thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan;
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust.”

It’s from a poem titled “Fear No More”.

ROFLMAO!!!

You crack me up!!!
Keep posting, give me some amusement.

ROFLMAO!!!

@tic tic -

He is called “WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE”. Which poem or play of shakespeare did you quote that from?

Or did you just pull that one out of your butt.
Trying to sound smart,eh?
Well, epic failure, you can’t even spell his name right.
And piglets “squeak”. Get Floyd bolls of you mouth for a sec and look at the meaning of “squawk” in a dictionary. You’ll be surprised at the result.

LOL!!!

And I think you may have gotten your analogy wrong there.
Well, if you didn’t know, the mane of the lion is made up of hair, not feathers.
I haven’t heard of a lion with feathers.
Just so you know.

Maybe you meant something like a hen?
Squawk?
LOL!!!

Let me ask you a question-
Are you making fun of Floyd or are you defending him?

SQUAWK!…SQUAWK!…SQUAWK!!!

ROFLMAO!!!!

“Squawk piglets, squawk loudly and vigorously. For when the LION wakens, you will squawk NO MORE”.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR

You’d better keep it down PACTARDS! You don’t want Floyd to hear you!

pac making money but doesn’t take care of or support his family.
Philippine police said Friday that a sister of boxing hero Manny Pacquiao was involved in running an illegal gambling racket, after detaining 25 people in a raid on her home.
A police vice squad detained the 25 and seized evidence, including gambling materials and cash, in Thursday’s raid on the home of Pacquiao’s elder sister, Isidra Paglinawan, said local police chief inspector Leo Sua.
pac fights for the poeple not money lol. he making millions and his family has to resort to being crooks because he is stingy with his money leaving them to be poor thug criminals.

Bob Arum Called Out for Lying by Top Rank Insider

Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images Defending Bob Arum is quite hard for a number of reasons. He’s a famous liar, well-known to veteran fans as a promoter that tends to totally exaggerate negotiations to ensure that he comes out looking holier than thou.
Team Mayweather wasn’t even the first to make these claims. It’s been coming out of his own camp.
Michael Marley, the day after Arum’s infamous “teleconference,” came right out and said it. This was days before Leonard Ellerbe spoke.
Marley, a Top Rank/Pacquiao writer, and a close friend of Arum’s, was just as perplexed by Arum’s deadline. He didn’t get it; he couldn’t work out what Arum was up to. So he went digging.
He spoke to his Top Rank people, and was shocked with the answer. Again, this was days before Ellerbe spoke.
Negotiation just hadn’t been happening. They’d started, briefly, but capitulated almost instantly, according to Marley.
Marley claimed that Arum had only spoken to Greenburg once, months ago. And that conversation was little more than Arum telling him his demands. Demands that Golden Boy just weren’t interested in.
That’s basically it. No meetings, no talks, no agreements, no contracts, no deals.
Bob Arum, according to Marley, just spent the next five weeks “blowing smoke to the media,” to try and confuse the situation and giving the impression that he was breaking his back to make the deal.
When in truth, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was the last thing Arum wanted for 2010.
Why did the talks fail? According to Marley, contrary to most reports, Pacquiao was unwilling to move an inch on drug testing. And Mayweather was unwilling to move an inch on money.
Pretty predictable.
As another example of the way Arum operates, it also turns out that “Pacquiao accepting 14 days” was just more “smoke” as part of the Arum charade.
The original quote from Pacquiao was 100 percent fake. Arum has admitted as much. The second quote from Pacquiao was real, but for PR purposes. Pacquiao’s manager denied it was accurate, when quizzed soon after.
To confirm the charade, only days ago, Arum was asked straight up, what drug terms Pacquiao had agreed to and he was unable to give an answer.
This is a man who had an agreement with Mayweather’s people? He couldn’t even answer what the supposed drug agreement was?
So what actually happened? According to Marley, Arum made these claims days before anyone from team Mayweather spoke out.
Well, Arum has allegedly been fixing a Pacquiao vs. Margarito bout in the Middle East for months. But he knew full well that he couldn’t make the fight without being seen to be trying to make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao first.
Plus, HBO, after pressure from Golden Boy, flat out told him that he’d have to approach Mayweather first, or they would not work on a Margarito fight.
Arum, according to Marley, approached Greenburg with his terms for the fight. Terms, Marley suspects, that were never going to be accepted. Terms, that in regards to drug testing, were even worse than the last fight.
That’s basically it. Golden Boy felt Arum was not being serious, and had no intention of negotiating further.
Arum played the media, and proclaimed that he was “waiting for Floyd to accept his offer.” Which, I guess, was technically true. The big lie came with Arum’s claims that these terms had been negotiated and accepted.
Marley claims that this is just 100 percent false. There were no real talks. No deals. No agreements. No contracts.
In a strange way, neither side is technically lying. Most likely, after taking legal advice, they’ve worded it all very carefully.
Arum claimed that he was waiting for Mayweather to agree to his offer, and had been dealing with Greenberg. The problem being, his dealings with Greenberg amounted to one conversation in which he sent him an awful offer, knowing full well it wouldn’t work. No negotiations, talks, or discussions whatsoever.
Arum’s offer. Countdown clock. Lots of BS about “terms being agreed by both sides.”
Mayweather’s people are technically speaking the truth as well. There were never any negotiations, talks, agreements, deals. Just Arum blowing smoke to the press.
Why did Arum exaggerate his efforts so much? Because he wanted to set up Margarito vs. Pacquiao and couldn’t justify it without trying to pin the blame on someone else.
Golden Boy? Well Marley claims that there quite literally was a gag order. It’s just the fact that the negotiations ended after about two days. You can tell when the fight fell through. Arum started talking to the media twice a day!
Marley claims that Golden Boy’s position with Arum is to just let him talk, and not justify his claims with replies, safe in the knowledge that most of the sport world knows he talks out of his behind.
Arum could well find himself in a tough position, however. Dan Raphael reported that Ellerbe is not only one of the most honest guys in boxing, he’s also been speaking to Greenberg regularly for weeks. These daily conversations have reportedly gone on after his claim that basically either Greenberg or Arum is a stone cold liar.
Which suggests to most that Greenberg agrees with his pronouncement.
Again, Marley is a Top Rank guy, and a noted Pacquiao backer. He reported that Arum’s claims of “negotiations” and “agreements” were phony, days before any Mayweather person made any comment.
Mayweather’s guy’s wording is probably a bit controversial, and not 100 percent true, but both Marley and Ellebre are basically singing from the same hymn sheet.
Arum completely and utterly exaggerated all claims of “agreements,” “deals,” “contracts,” and

Call Mayweather what you want, Pacman can not beat him. The most skillful fighter will always win. ANd hands down Maywaether is the Most skilled fighter out there. Pacman is the hype of the decade, thats it. THe minute he gets in trouble, you gonna see what skill is. Anybody that doubts Floyd can beat Pacman is a damn fool. He will when with a landslide like he did Marquez, who by the way beat Pacman in that 2nd fight.

“Fear invokes the the primal instinct in all of us. The primal instinct of self ($$$) preservation”

This is why Mayweather doesn’t really want to risk fighting Pac man, i’m not saying he would lose but he is definatley dogging the Pac man fight to preserve his legacy and stay undefeated. If the fight were to never happen then it would hurt Mayweather more than Manny in terms of what each will be remembered for.

To a certaing extent i belive Manny is also dogging the fight also in persuit of less risk high reward screw the fans sort of fights just for $$$ and we all no Bob Arum definatley doesn’t want the fight so he can mach Pac man with all his boxers and office staff within a 50lbs range in a Top Rank round robin tourney.

Its up to the fans to demand Mayweather Pac man by not buying any other fights until then, but i believe this will happen anyway and the numbers for both fighters next fights will be way off previous figures. So i still say Mayweather Pac man fight is still gonna happen soon. Peace x

quak!

WATCH THE DOG BARKING TO MUCH WHILE HIS TAIL DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS ASS. YOU WILL SEE HE WILL NOT BITE YOU BECAUSE OF FEAR.

If there really never were any negotiations going on, why didn’t Mayweather and his representatives state that earlier rather than after the deadline past? This fight not happening the first time was both fighters’ egos. This fight not happening the second time is all PBF. When have we not seen the so called “All time greatest” not say a word the whole time? As great of a fighter as PBF is, it sure seems like he is a little scared of Pacquiao. If he is scared he should just retire with his 0 and quit boxing. PBF got skills, but everyone always questions his heart and courage and I would defend PBF, but this time around he really seems to be missing the both of those.

Whoever wrote this article has probably never boxed before in his life. When you are a fighter, especially a fighter as good as Floyd, you don’t give a damn what a fighter does to another fighter because he is not you. If he feared Manny because of what he did to other fighters then he wouldn’t have fought Mosely after he destroyed Margarito. Skills pay the bills, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the most skilled boxer to ever step into the ring and Manny will get taken to school.

The fight never happened, as they couldn’t agree on drug tests, yet again. Numerous sources, have stated this.

The only person afraid is Pacquiao. And he’s afraid of boxing at 147 without HGH in his veins

Can I make a simple point:

Greenburg stated that the two sides had been unable to agree a deal in his quote.

That there was never an agreement.

So what was Bob Arum waiting for Mayweather to sign? What was the countdown for?

Why did he pull out as Mayweather hadn’t signed an agreement, when there was never an agreement?

There’s a very good reason Manny Pacquiao is fighting Margarito next, and not anyone decent.

Because Arum knows full well the average Paclander can’t even spell “sucker” let alone understand that they’re being treated like one.

Source after source will tell you that there’s been an agreement, and they just couldn’t make a deal.

Arum gets away with setting up a margarito fight, by convincing a load of retards that he actually tried to make the fight…………

Floyd fought in 1 fight where there was a catchweight…which was stipulated by his opponent to level the playing field. Floyd has NEVER gone up in weight, challenging the belt holder at a catchweight, whereas Pac has. Pac was ok allowing DLH to fight at 147 but 2 fights later required Cotto to fight below the WW limit. Now Pac is moving up to fight for the LMW belt at another catchweight. When Floyd moved up to fight DLH at 154 did he request a catchweight? NO.

I’m not blaming Manny for this stuff because it’s his handlers that are pulling off these BS catchweight deals. I’m sure Bob Arum is paying the WBC a nice sanctioning fee to have BOTH his figthers fight for the WBC 154lb belt and because these sanctioning bodies have gotten so ridiculous they have no problem having 2 guys without a belt fight for a belt at a catchweight.

FEAR?

greenburg and espn has already exposed little floyd. does anyone wants little floyd’s mama to expose him too?

this article is the nail t0 the couffin 0f mayfl0wer!en0ugh said!!!!!

No body should be paying attention to Tic Tic. He sounds like a 12 yr old. Ha ha ha!

LOL

Floyd will whoop manny no problem. He cannot fight going backwards he has no defence unless he is attacking. He might be “scared” but i don’t care he still wins 10/10

I would like to shed some truth to all the opinions of the fans in this topic. There are many kinds of fear for ex:
-The fear of losing my “0″ record, the fear of getting beat up so bad, shaken, bruished, headache, being knockout or knock down, or tko, broken nose, badly cuts in the eye, broken ribs etc.
-The fear of losing my image when i get beaten, losing my commercials, endorsement, my money income etc.
-The fear of getting frozen by the sight of my opponent.
But i firmly believed that a fighter can control his fear and can still fight, how effectively i dont know. As i have been in a lot of fight myself i can control my fear, for others i cant speak for them. Maybe mayjr will fight someday when he has trained his body and mind like he has not trained before and will come out one day and fight Pacquiao. For now let us assume he wants to rest and bask in the money he made this year. I only hope that he makes the announcement to his fans when he will fight instead of playing dumb and mute to the cries of his fans!. Before he retires i will bet you he will come out of hiding and collect his retirement pay of say 50 million dollars each fight with the Pacman and not make the blood, ped and 50/50 issue gag get in the way.

@boxtop123: Obviously you have not been following this since day one, but it’s okay. You keep asking for coverage of things about this fight knowing that Mayweather is not around to be covered by the press or espn. You told coward that Oscar was a shot fighter, so was Mosley. Oscar won his last fight before fighting Pacquiao and so did Mosley. So the youger fighters prevailed in their fights…You would probably bring catchweight in now. Well, Oscar has now fought in two cathweight fights and know what it is like. Mayweather fought in one catchweight fight, but Mayweather cheated and that is okay with you and his fans, but anyone else it’s forbidden. The people Pacquiao fought are unknown to you because you only follow American fighters or only Mayweather himself. Pacquiao has 4 Lineal titles meaning he has fought the best in those 4 division, how many does Mayweather have??? Look at Mayweathers record and tell me you recognize all the fights he went up against.

@lmao-

The writer stated in technical details the styles of fighting for both Floyd and Manny. He clearly knows what he’s talking about. He obviously has a wide grasp on the subject.

You never stated anything that suggest you, yourself know anything about boxing.

Except being a FLOMO.

LMAO!!!

@Frankly I like what you just wrote about fear. But I really dont think Floyd fears Pacman, everyone may disagree but Pac is a overated fighter and maybe Pac is scared of Marquez cos he wont fight him again.

—Marquez is fighting a weight class lower than Pacquiao, if he can keep up with Pacquiao he will surely grant his death wish!

why, tell that in mayweather senior’s face? remember when he said, “One thing for sure is Floyd is not scared of Pacquiao. That’s one thing for sure. Everybody needs to get that straight; that’s straight and to the point. Floyd is not scared of Pacquiao. That’s the last guy he’s scared of in boxing, but the whole thing…..”

when you see a fighter with a big mouth, be wary. hold your bet. these days they don’t come with balls.

GOODNIGHT ALL
thanks for educating ME

DONKEY
never was their a winner take all never and why not do it on espn so we all can see then everyone will know the truth not just you and coward if bob arum can call a press conference to close a fight he surely can do it to start a fight

@boxtop123: Winner takes all was mentioned before by Roach, Mayweather never went for it. Problem is Mayweather won’t come to the table. Mayweather is his own man, nothing can get him to fight Pacquiao, not even money.

@Pac without PEDs
FYI, Manny gets his blood tested 2 days before his first encounter with Erik Morales. Did the Nevada Athletic Commission find him using PEDs? And notice Manny’s performance during that fight, he got a cut in the early round which have put him in a great disadvantage, not to mention the thick padded gloves he used, and yet he managed to last for 12 rounds and Morales couldn’t even knock him down.

@boxtop123

you dont know about boxing dude..you just pretending you idiot..go to sleep maybe in dreams floyd will kiss you…

COWARD
DUDE YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SU*K MY DICK FOR A WHILE NOW SHUT THE FU*K UP IM NOT GAY
GIVE UP

@boxtop123

now your excuses is about tax? that’s ridiculous dude! stop posting comments coz you dont know nothing..

@boxtop123

why the experts already know the results? LOL! this guy is dreaming of floyd everytime..youre comments if for a 5 year old idiot..

Tic Tic and boxtop123 are all idiots..still dont know about boxing..they are blast from the past…

GARLICBOY
who are the other great champions that roach trained?

oh and steve nash great point guard cant win the big ones probably want to use another example

FLOYD HAS BEEN AFRAID OF EVERYONE HE HAS FOUGHT BUT FOR SOME REASON HE KEEPS ON WHIPPING THEIR ASS

DAMN I WANNA BE AFRAID TO

@milo

yeah youre right..but this floydiots still dont stop talking about pacman..maybe sooner they will praise pacman LOL!

Floyd and his fans are using the “bloodtest” as an excuse
knowing the whole world is calling their American Idol a COWARD!!!!

HELL NO HE DONT FEAR HIM

YouTube brian Kenny with may weather interview shot is too funny mayweather for caught with his own big mouth..

is that kevy kev still swing on floyds nutts..what up kev. are you “hangin in there”?

Manny Pacquiao like Steve Nash… Age liked fine wine

Manny Pacquiao is the Super version of Steve Nash.

If you don’t know who Steve Nash is, he is a former MVP of the NBA. Skinny white dude who warmed the bench his first 4 years in the NBA, where he couldn’t even average 9 points.

People claim that what Pacquiao has done is UNPRECEDENTED, UNBELIEVABLE. I call plain and simple: IMPROVEMENT.

Pacquiao is unlike most fighters, in that he was NEVER properly trained in the “Sweet Science.”

He was arguably the SLOPPIEST, champion prior to meeting Freddie Roach. In fact even after he met Roach he was still a one handed fighter, who only threw a 1-2 with messed up footwork.

Pacquiao evolved. He learned what a jab was, he developed a right hook, uppercuts, he learned balance and proper footwork, he learned strategy, he learned timing and range, he learned the mental game and he even learned how to bob and weave… a little bit.

For Pacquaio PED’s stands for Performance Enhanced through Development. Credit to Roach as a teacher and Pacquiao as a student.

If there is any question as to the true source of Pacquiao’s incredible rise look at all the other champoins that Roach has worked with.

Pacquiao like Steve Nash, improved to elite heights while in their 20′s. Both are in impeccable shape with unmatched stamina.

The difference is that PACQUIAO IS A WORLD CLASS ATHLETE!!! He has no weakness: AS AN ATHLETE: Fast, strong, stamina, long arms, etc. !!! As a boxer he needs defense, but that’s it.

Thus, Pacquiao is not on PEDS, but was created through the perfect storm. He developed a hunger for the sport on the streets of Manila, out of pure necesity: SURVIVAL. He developed into a MASTERPIECE, through the hands of God and Freddie Roach.

are you guys serious about the steroids accusation? if thats true, then all of the boxing match that have been played before should be called void for not taking BLOOD samples before the fight.

@ Be Real

I largely agree with your last comment.

1. You say Manny Pacquiao is not opposed to drug testing but opposed to the cutoff date. I say Manny Pacquiao is opposed to RANDOM BLOOD testing for PEDs as done in the Olympics.

2. During the first negotiations, Mayweather’s original position was no cut-off random blood PED test.But Mayweather offered a last-minute 14-day semi-random blood test and Pacquiao refused once more.

3. You may be right that it has become an ego issue, but Pacquiao who is supposed to be a humble guy needs no ego. Like you, I think he should agree to the test with no cut-offs. The no cut-off is only a deterrent.

4. Some ask why demand extra tests only when he was about to face Pacquiao. This question is irrelevant now since he demanded the same test when he fought Mosley. In addition, one could ask why must he not demand extra checks now which coincides with fighting Pacquiao?

100% Floyd FEARS Manny Pacquiao!

@kevy kev

to whom would we listen, to you? LOL! youre just a bunch of cr@p dude!

amen…

floyd should take some steroids if he’s worried about manny taking them

When you learn to listen then you’ll learn something but if you KNOW then you trying to drown the truth because your biatch

floyd fought in the olympics so that’s why drug testing isnt an issue so on an athletic level manny should be so high in boxing because of his skill level and manny is a programmed fighter he fights in a designed way of not getting tired so how is that the case, he looked real messed up with juan even morrales both guys token him to hell and now he’s just un stopable now wayyyyyy my friend

because guys is cheating in boxing

@Kevy Kev

How come Floyd didn´t want to drug test Arturo Gatti if fighting Manny will be just a repeat of that fight??????

@Pac

I think you have to put the drug test into context and to be clear Manny is not opposed to drug testing, what he was opposed to was the cutoff date which oddly enough used to by 14 days during the first round of negotiations but Floyd has since said that´s not good enough anymore.

Every fighter takes the same tests following every fight required by the commission. The problem arises when you have an opponent that wants to require you to go above and beyond what the sports commission requires. It becomes an ego issue and we are dealing with enormous egos in Arum and Floyd. Personally I think if Manny was with a different promoter this wouldn´t be happening and Manny would take the tests regardless and I think he should just take the tests anyway and we can then see what other excuse Floyd comes up with, the whole thing has become a circus and I blame both sides.

Both Manny and Floyd are good enough and popular enough in the sport that they don´t have to cede to one another and can continue making tons of money fighting other fighters but you have to question Floyd pulling the drug issue out of the bag only when he was about to face Manny. Say what you want, say what you will but it´s significant that he believes Manny might be using something. Floyd is subliminally saying he really believes Manny is very very good..

Good thing there are still good and credible writers here in boxingnews24. Floyd can dodge with 2 to 3 combination punches from typical boxers but not 5 to 7 combination punches from the Pacman. Do you think Floyd can dodge all punches specially at many angles? Think further.

@mayweather

Good one! The mayweathers have lots of excuses, unfortunately none of them are very good. I don´t think there is much communication between the family because you have sr talking about how his son will whoop the midget and floyd might as well be on mars.

I did read a recent article about how Dana White ran into Floyd in Vegas and asked him when the fight was gonna happen and Floyd´s response was ¨I´m not desperate.¨ I would translate that into, I still got a boat load of cash in the bank from the Mosley fight and I´m in no hurry, going broke will make you desperate real quick.

I also think Floyd will start to feel the heat for this fight not happening this time around and will be forced to do something. Funny thing is Floyd lives in Vegas and was just seen in Vegas so I guess he considers being home a vacation.

this writer is right on target. floyd is scared of being humiliated after all the scaldal that he did against the filipino slugger. he doesn’t want to open his mouth either co’z he afraid that it will only make more damages to himself. it’s good for him not to talk and live quietly. they may say that floyd doesn’t to fight co’z his uncle is not going to be in his side this year, wrong!!! his uncle was available early this year yet he decided to avoid pacquiao. i know for a fact that floyd will retire for good and i wish him all the luck. peace

Has there been any other bouts since Floyd/Mosley that underwent random blood testing????????????

GBP if they believe in Floyd Who??? in cleaning up the sport should have subject all their fighters to RBT. Come on Oscar!!!. Ooops I forgot Oscar had been naughty once or twice?? and were not allowed to access his details.

@Be Real says:

Probabilities, not certainty.

If I check up the KO and win rate curves as fighters age, using a sample of a large number of boxers, and one stands out abnormally (not in line with others), on the bases of likelihood/probability I will raise my eyebrows!

So I throw out hypotheses = speculations about what could be the source of this abnormality (unusualness). The speculations or hypotheses will include:

1 Pacquiao trains hard, really hard.
2 Pacquiao is a freak of a genetic accident
3 Pacquiao is juicing = using steroids
4 Pacquiao has a wonderful coach or corner or team
5 His opponents a suited to his style

It is most unlikely 1,4 and 5 can explain the rates. rates.

I will be left with 2 and 3. Since it would not be cheating if an accident of biology gave Pacquiao special advantages, I will eliminate 2.

3? How can I know? Trust Pacquiao’s word that he is not juicing? Not scientific.

So I do a scientific random test, random blood test.

Now, if Pacquiao refuses the random blood test, the steroid hypothesis is still untackled.

Given the above, it would be a BIG MISTAKE to eliminate juicing as the most likely cause of Pacquiao’s wins if I were a researcher, let alone a boxer about to face him in the ring!

I trust this is the dilemma Mayweather finds himself in.

@Be Real, if you are clean…prove it! If you are fight of the year and decade…why the catchweights?

Pacquiao is HOTD. “Hype Of The Decade”.

An Effen Midget JOKE!

2 ticks away from you little midgets! Remember…Tic Tic!!!

@ANONOMOUS, in Jersey, if Pacquiao lasted more than 10 rounds with Mayweather, that would be YUGE!!!

“school”…hehehe.
Got the correction just in time.
Before you say anything for a comeback.

Hehehehe.

@tic tic

Floyd lovers are about as smart as the mayweather family. You ask anonymous how Manny is going to beat floyd when he is just a midget with no reach and there is basically no way a smurf could beat the best and fastest fighter on the planet.

SO WHY DO YOU DEMAND DRUG TESTING IF YOU ARE FIGHTING A MIDGET? does that make any sense? Maybe you are smoking what the mayweathers are and that makes sense to you but to a rational human being that´s called nonsense.

@tic tic-
How?

First things first.
First of all get your booy in the ring. That’s the first and the most important thing.

Ok, as hard as hitting the moon with a BB gun, will that be how far your boy be?

But like I said, get your boy in that ring, then we’ll talk.
If he’s got no ballz, offer him your own.
But get him in that ring.
And hey, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

Afro Brotha…are you just dumb? Ever hear of sarcasm?

Look it up! STAY IN SCHOOL!

@JIM

Do you even know what a Fact is? Look it up in the dictionary you retard, you are making assumptions based on theories, not evidence or facts, all you are doing is speculating and you´re doing a pretty $hitty job at that. Basically you are saying that no athlete is able to get stronger or better without the assistance of PEDs so I guess Bernard Hopkins is on PEDs too since he just has gotten better with age as well and Floyd looks much bigger than he did 3 years ago, must be PEDs, Kobe Bryant is much better than he was a few years back, PEDs again. Amir Khan got knocked out and now he´s whipping everyone they put in front of him, gotta be PEDs. My little brother broke his leg and then worked out and got stronger and can run faster and jump higher now, yup you guessed in, according to Jim, he´s on PEDs too. You can´t just sling accusations without ANY evidence, positive tests or other and chalk everything up to PEDs you moron.

Arum has Floyd’s number…Why hasn’t he called?

@Anonomous, how will he do that?

Let me gues..Hmmmmm.

Pacquiao is a midget standing 5’5 with even shorter arms at 67″. Mayweather is 5’8 with an arm length of 72″.

Mayweather has superb defense, (The best probably in boxing history) as hard to hit as the moon with a BB gun. Stevie Wonder could hit Pacquiao.

Floyd is the fastest fighter on the planet! The smartest ever in the ring.

Hmmmmm…Paquiao is going to leap, lung and time Mayweather and KO him!!!

Better play the lottery Pacquiao!!! You will have a better chance of hitting that, than you will hitting Mayweather!

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!

R I G H T!!!!!

Look at all the fights PAC had prior to David Diaz, and see that Barrera, JMM, Singsurat, and Morales all gave him problems and wobbled him. From David Diaz on, he was not affected by any punches coming from DLH, Hatton, Cotto, or CLottey who are BIGGER and stronger than those LW’s he lost to. FACT is, PAC is on PED’s(except for CLottey fight). FLoyd isn’t scared of anything, A CHEATER IS A CHEATER

Well said F.L.A. Well said!!!

No fighter fears another! Ever! Mayweather said he will fight once per year! Was he unclear? Did he say it in French or Italian?

TARDS need help and much therapy. Or perhaps to grow a bit older than 12!!!

@Pac

Too bad banging other women besides your wife isn´t against the rules in Gold or any other sport. Nobody was accusing Tiger of juicing and your speculation that Pac has used anything illegal is just that, speculation and fear without any evidence whatsoever other than the fear he has installed in you and Floyd since he´s been destroying everyone in his path in the past 3 years. Being scared will make you do crazy things, wild accusations, it´s really more sad than anything.

@without peds -

Tsk, tsk, tsk.
I think it’s you who should be suing Floyd Sr.
Man, he messed up your head really bad.
LOL!!!
Your boi Floyd ain’t talking about it anymore, so why can’t you do the same?
Did he ever metion “PEDs” in his recent statements?
NOOO.
All he said was he was taking a vacation, period.
Can’t your boi even speak for himslef now?
WOW!
Fear must have really overtaken him, losing his tongue like that.
LOL!!!

Relax TARDS…the ass whoopin will come May 2011!!!

THE ASS WHOOPIN COMETH!!!

Can’t wait to hear from the TARDS the day after the fight!!!

CRICKETS!!!

@hernia -

REALLY???
WOW, you’re on self-denial, man.
The snake is in front of you and it’s about to bite you in the face!!!
Who’ hiding, by the way? So quiet, so out of character.

Wake up!!!!
It’s you who’s on Floyd NUTZ.
Sad thing is, hug his nutz all you want, hug his nutz as tight as you want, wrap them in velvet all you want, reality is, he doesn’t give a $hit about you.
SOOOOOOO SAD.

Will Margarito have the balls to check Pacquiao won’t juice up as Mosley had the balls to check Margarito had no plasters?

I somehow agree with you Simon,most boxing experts would say Floyd can easily beat Pacman.Floyd is a genuis no doubt but when come to Pacman he is not sure of winning.This is why, so many excuses from Floyd make this fight never happen.To him Pacman is a puzzel.Only when he is ready, he will fight Pacman.

Mayweather is an artist.
Pacquiao is an executioner.

Mayweather stopped Hatton in the 10th round.
Pacquiao killed Hatton in the 2nd round.

Mayweather almost lost to Oscar.
Pacquioa humilated Oscar and quit.

Mayweather is afraid of Pacman.
Pacquiao wants to eat Mayweather.

Mayweather is not scared of losing his 0 but he is afraid of being KO(ed) by Pacman.

The writer gets his assesment very precise.

FLoyd can forsake 50M dollars.
He make that money through product endorsements and appearances.

But once he loses that zero, he’s got nothing.
Even his endorsements will dwindle to a halt.

Simple.
So wants to protect that “0″ like a hen protects her egg.

@ Be Real

JC Chavez Jr hasn’t fought tougher opponents as Money has.

Besides, JC Chavez Jr has a draw.

you dawm right he scared he aint money floyd cause if he was he would fight an get that big ass pay day

@F.L.A -

LOL!
That was funny.

Serioulsy, the problem has been rampant in the sports for some time now.
The Pacquiao-Mayweather fiasco just put everything under the microscope.
Like big fights that are not being made. Mismatches. Undercards that suck. Haye. The HW division. Arum. Golden Boy Promotions. Everything.
It’s the lower weight divisions that rule boxing now.

LOL @ scared ass n*gga floyd…he look like he bout to CRY

Great article, floyd fans cant stand looking at the facts

hahaha

mayweather hasnt lost and it makes you pactards ANGRY!

pac got dropped by a jab. hehe.

pac is on drugs.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE PACMAN.

Bradley wants to fight him.
Berto wnats to fight him.
Williams want to gight him.
Marquez wants to fight him again.
The klitschkos want to fight him.
EXCEPT FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR.

THE NEW FACE OF BOXING.
MANNY PACQUIAO!!!!!

TIC TIC
i agree with you i myself dont believe it is even going to be entertaining just my opinion but i think floyd dominates him very badly… and pac fans will respond by saying tell him to sign the contract.. as if they know whats in the contract floyd is too smart outside of the ring as well

This is the most ignorant boxing article ive ever read. You cant be serious. LOL. The fact that someone would use the “he beat someone worse” is laughable. This article is an insult to boxing.

haha I love it, Hurt Machine is a perfect name for Pac. No matter what the Floyd fans say deep inside they know this article is spot on. Floyd lost to Manny without them even having to fight.

@F.L.A -

“He uses your best abilities against you….”

The writer already said that. Even in a more precise and technical detail.

“Imaginary hurt machine”?
Those bloody faces were not imaginary.
Hatton gasping for breath is not imaginary.
The thai boxer getting lifted off his feet by a Pacuiqoa punch is not imaginary.

The hurt machine is a reality.
His name is Pacquiao.

everything have been said of many boxing/non boxing fans, their views and opinions. now, my wish is that this endless arguments end someday, floyd-pac settle the scores early next year so we can put to rest who’s the king is. we are all hurting with this circus created by supposedly caretakers of boxing, only to end up again shorthanded, disappointed and frustrated. let’s hope they can finally get this fight on. we are all fools and hypocrites. for the sake of boxing, to those boxing gods, please have this fight happen, once and for all.

JesusJones

What does any of that have to do with Pac’s power and me stating that Mayweather has tasted power before? I’m not undermining anything that Pac has done.

I’m just clearing up what the biased article failed to do. The imaginary “hurt machine” is just like Jeff “left hook” aka “Mini Mike” Lacy was right before slapper Joe exposed him. The media is a hell of a drug! Don’t get caught up in that mess…

I stay focused on what happens in the ring, because in the ring Mayweather is precise, flawless and unstoppable (so far). He has tasted power but adjusts to it. He uses your best abilities against you and in the end has the boxing community bashing his opponent because they can’t give props to Floyd, they must BASH (by law) the opponent he faces.

But again, the media is a hell of a drug don’t get caught up in it so much! Before you know it, WWE will be on your mind.

@ jesusjones “ADVERSITY INTRODUCES US TO OUR SELVES”

“HATRED IS THE ANSWER FOR THE COWARDS BEING INTIMIDATED”

wtf are you talking about? how about you quote yourself and make your own mind up. When did floyd say he hates paquiao? When did paquiao say he hates floyd? So neither coward is intimidated and you have given absolutely zero to this convo. Some idiots may now be dumber by your statement and post that on every mayweather-paquiao convo now. thank you

The face of Floyd in that photo says it all.
LOL!!!

Let’s think this over. If you are Bob Arum and you want to set up a fight between Margarito and Pacquiao, how are you going to make that happen?

Given that Margarito got beat by Mosley, and Mosley got beat by Mayweather, how are you going to tell people that it’s worth their time to watch your cash cow (Pacquiao) beat on Margarito after he’s been beat on by Mosley when Mosley himself couldn’t win more than 2 rounds against Mayweather.

By making it look like Mayweather backed out of a negotiation — and then you have to find a “replacement”, in this case Margarito.

I say it’s very clever promoting on the part of Mr. Arum.

Mayweather has absolutely nothing to fear about Pacquiao; other than the fact that he could be using PEDs! How willing is Pacquiao to prove that he is not-by taking the test? Mayweather already agreed to take the test as well, Mayweather agreed in December 09. You’ve been waiting 9 months for Pacquiao to come clean; and Pacquiao just keeps fighting Top Rank stiffs!

@ san diego SO because Floyd never lost he has no bravery. He didn’t lose then quit and last time Paquiao didn’t agree to the fight, not mayweather. So who is really scared

Not hurt opponents? It’s obvious you have never put on boxing gloves. Hatton wasn’t hurt? Are you kidding me. What a dork you are.

scared….that’s what greenburg and espn said.

@f.l.a.

No, ask yourself this -

Can Floyd do to those men what Pacquiao did to them?
Does Floyd brutalize his opponents?
That is a more relevant question.
Doesn’t matter who Pacquiao faces.
It’s the manner in which he blasts them away.

@ anon..agree with you .mayweather writers are poor kindergarten type writers like lahr,williams manuela perez. pacmans are true journalist!!

Floyd, you wuuzz. At least I took my shot! Just get in there, take your deserved beating from Manny, collect $40M win or lose and just retire. Floyd is to Pacquiao as I (Michael Spinks) is to Tyson – that is if Floyd ever grows the balls to even go one round with Pacman.

I LOVE THIS ARTICLE IT KEEPS PROVING YALL R OBSSESED WITH MAYWEATHER HE IS P4P CHAMP ALL ROADS LEAD TO MAYWEATHER AND EVERYBODY OBSSESES OVER HIS GREATNESS IT WILL NEVER STOP AND HE WILL NEVER LOSE. AND YOU WILL PAY FOR HIS FIGHTS CUS HE IS GREAT

@ Simon S…can you write somthing new,not something that’s been asked a million fuking times. Get creative you fuking moron…

fearful mayweather!!!

floyd enjoyed watching cockfighting in puerto rico. those chiken were braver than floyd!!

Pacquiao telegraphs every punch, he gets off balance when he punches, he could not hit a defensive Josh Clottey with 1 clean headshot the entire fight! Pacquiao has success against sluggers; he wants absolutely nothing to do with slick boxers! Mayweather, Berto, Mosely, Bradley are all active and available…Pacquiao’s fighting Margarito. Mayweather and the American boxing fan has seen 1000 Pacquiao’s stylewise; Pacquiao has never dealt with a boxer/puncher like Mayweather! He backed out in December 09 and despite a desparate attempt at preventive maintainance; we know Pacquiao bailed again! 2 Hall of Fame fighters have already set the precedent and went through RBT during preparations for a fight. How can the foty&fotd blatanly refuse to prove he’s clean? It’s almost been a year now! Talk about that too; that’s the real story and the whole problem here!

Great article Simon I enjoyed reading it. But to add to the concept of fear towards your opponent. Imagine what ALI was feeling when he took up the fight with Foreman after Foreman’s astonishing KO victory over Joe Frazier. Frazier was simply humiliated at that fight.

ALI went into the fight against all odds and still scored a big upset. The same big upset against the fearsome Sonny Liston.

Is Floyd suffering that same fear that ALI had with Foreman and Liston?

There is nothing wrong with FEAR. In fact Fear, if we can handle it can do great things for us.

It just a matter on how Floyd can handle that FEAR.

You are ridiculous Floyd as fought 41 fighters atleat 5 of them would beat the crap out of Pacman.

Why the hell would Floyd be scared, you should be asking the question is Pacman scared of Mayweather.

As seen as though both negotiations have not been agreed because of him, well 1 negotiations and 1 apparent negotiation.

true.. true.. chikenweather indeed.

This is what I’ve been noticing all along.

PACQUIAO WRITERS – JOURNALISTS.
MAYWEATHER WRITERS – AMATUER BLOGGERS.
Maybe there’s a symbolism in that?

The huge differemce in writing styles is so glaring.
Like this article here. Flowing prose. Well rounded. Very clear in driving his points across. Creds to you Mr. Sheppard.

Excellent article I 100 percent agree, floyd never really wanted the fight he kept increasing his demands to blow the fight and Manny called his bluff.
