By Glenn Findlay: The unremitting saga; chronicling who is culpable for our generational super-fight not transpiring into conscious materialization has been well examined, scrutinized, sifted through and studied. It has been quarreled, fought and festered over by both factions of Floyd and Manny disciples, until the candoured reality cannot be seen for the perjury of falsehood propaganda.
The truth is…Emmanuel Dapridan Pacquiao is too much of a hazardous, perilous risk to Floyd Mayweather at this stage of his career. Make no mistake; like Naseem Hamed before him; this tendered variety of combatant egotistical pugilists, brash, flashy, outspoken and unbeaten such as Naseem and Floyd were and are consciously animated in a fabricated fantasy world of such high self-worth, that one thrashing vanquish of tear-down defeat would obliterate the ego’s undefeated parameters. The walls of indomitable invincibility that their entire existence has been institutionally founded upon would be torn to shreds. Floyd, just like Hamed before him would call it a day. The crushing of the ego has previously retired Naseem and would immediately retire Floyd Mayweather with abrupt effect.
If Floyd now saunters off into retirement for another sixteen months; Manny himself could be lost to politics full-time before Floyd re-visits the public eye. If not, Pacquiao’s trademark rapid-speed and twelve round endless stamina will be diminished; Floyd (knowledgeably wise as he is) clearly discerns this and also fully comprehends his one-stance, counter-punch pot-shotting, aged thirty five will not ebb and fade as rapidly as Pacquiao’s legendary twelve round onslaughts of vivacity that at thirty four; he will not be able to keep up at such a high, sky-scraping intense pace. Manny Pacquiao’s flair of sadistic, brutal, overwhelming punches struck with vigorous force, at break-neck speed and maximum brawling intensity is not eternal. Floyd is quite shrewdly playing the waiting game in order for Manny’s train-express twelve round stamina of ambidextrous fists of fury to waiver; for his relentless pressure to dwindle; in order to endeavor to pick him off. Floyd and his lineage family of descendants are randomly placing obstacles; untruths and contradictions for the day when they deem the conflicting hostility is now of an equal, on-a-par playing field…or further more; to furnish every beneficial ring-advantage that Floyd already upholds over Manny such as natural weight, height and reach all in his favour.
The aging of Pacquiao may indeed be slender but in spectator sports; slights of seconds can be the pinnacle divergence sandwiched between triumphant, legendary victory or down-pouring, collapsing failure. In the mindset of mythical boxing prodigies such as Manny and Floyd; slight of seconds are minutes in their quick-reflex psychological time-frames. Bear in mind, Pacquiao has been in “toe-to-toe” wars with the hardest of hitters his entire existence, whilst Floyd being the defensive genius has never even officially sampled the canvas; never mind traded “toe-to-toe” on a continued brutal basis. Add in Floyd’s lengthy lay-offs compared to Pacquiao’s relentless arsenal of wars every six months; add in Manny’s encumbering, distracting political onslaught, Roach’s debilitating chronic illness and you can garnish why Floyd is positioning random obstacles in the way. Hindering this fight; impeding the day when fate finally beckons; whilst simultaneously accelerating the aging demise of Pacquiao’s multi-cached arsenal onslaught as the months tick by at an ever alarming rate. A dextrous and adept strategy to avoid a pumped-up Manny in his prime, at the peak of his powers.
When Floyd repetitively recurs “take the test”, the gullible once again presuppose it is Manny holding up the ring wrangle when the truth is; random testing up to the day of the fight has been consented to. “We have agreed in the Pacquiao camp to unlimited random testing done by a responsible, neutral organization” – Bob Arum on 3morerounds.com dated 9th July 2011. “One of the issues has been the blood testing?…there’s no more issue bout that; everything is fine.“- You Tube “Pacquiao, no issues on testing, will Floyd Duck?” dated 6th September 2011. No more “take the test” smokescreens can ever be bellowed by Floyd or his fanatics, as it isn’t just “take the test” now is it? It is “take the test and be demanded to train in the U.S”. Another impeding obstruction in the form of testing to be done solely in the U.S, administered by Floyd’s choice of drug testing authority. Floyd clearly discerns Manny trains part in his homeland, the Philippines where he is most at ease, so no “P4P King” is going to accept a strict, regimented mandate from his nemesis such as this in anticipation of a diverging generational super-fight. Modify his training schedule; leave his homeland un-scheduled, etc all for a pugilist that squats below his perched throne in the rankings. Get real. He has been demanded to enough. Would Floyd let himself be demanded to, away from training where he desires? Never in a million years. If anything; it is Manny with legacy and standing triumphant as king of the boxing world who should be issuing demands. Floyd has no authority to forcefully coerce the “P4P King” where to train. Hence, Floyd realizes this will put the ultimate nail in the coffin to the nullification of the fight. Until Mayweather fans wake up and stop supporting Floyds demands, Floyd will continually unearth another acquittal justification of an excuse, after excuse after excuse. Make no mistake; if Floyd retires without exchanging blows with Manny Pacquiao, a bank of obscuring, darkened rainclouds, beckoning unanswered question marks will perpetually remain over him by the objective boxing intelligence. After all; Manny Pacquiao’s legacy is already firmly solidified with or without the generational super-fight. Floyd’s is not.
This is the crux-core point to the never-ending saga that is the “Pacquiao on PEDS?” accusations. “If I were to go up right now to heavyweight and compete with the Klitschkos, you would say, Floyd Mayweather is on something. But a man goes up from 105 to 154 and you say, oh, it’s all natural. C’mon man, wake up,” – Floyd at post-Ortiz press conference abscbnnews.com. Let’s all as Floyd states….“wake up” indeed, as this is where Floyd’s case inherently breaks down, ruptures into fractured splinters and inevitably collapses with trembling consequences. Floyd Mayweather publicly professes Manny Pacquiao’s alleged PED use stems from his seemingly unfeasible capability to soar up the ascending weight classes at ease. The truth is; over the course of 11 grand years, Floyd Mayweather Jnr has scaled up the same, identical weight classes as Manny Pacquiao from 106lbs to 154lbs. Lets repeat that fact…Floyd Mayweather Jnr has scaled up the nigh-on same identical weight classes as Manny Pacquiao from 106lbs to 154lbs. Both firing up at Junior Flyweight, aged 16, with the only distinction being Manny turning pro at 16; Floyd delaying until he was 19. It took Manny 15 full years to progress from 108lbs to 154lbs (incidentally Manny has never fought at a body weight of 154lbs but a maximum of 145 lbs). Floyd has even accomplished the escalation of boxing weight classes more rapid than Manny, so if PED allegations are leveled at Manny, as the only legitimate impediment restricting the super-fight, then similar overtures should be leveled at Floyd. Ask yourself; why position a disproportionate and unwarranted demand when the demand itself is to verify a seemingly implausible accomplishment that Floyd has already accomplished himself?
