    test to a fighter, without ANY history of being to be questioned for such, and just based on unprecedented past performances, is the last refuge of a coward, claiming to be the best ever, PERIOD

    Its all good bro. Although I will be rooting for Mayweather, I am a Pacquiao fan too. I don't really care about the negotiation bs. I just want to see a good fight.

    This post is worth repeating. Better yet, to be made a sticky post!

    Sr. also suggested in the past that team Mayweather be allowed to spy on Pac during sparring at Wild Card.

    Floyd Sr. has no idea what the hell he is talking about. I hope nobody takes this seriously.

    Who cares what Floyd Sr. has to say? Seriously.... The guy isn't even involved in his son's career.

    Its mostly cause of this crackhead and his jealousy of Roach that this fight hasnt happened yet.

    The dude got so butthurt after being owned by Roach leading to and after the Hatton fight that he had to come up with some bull**** to downgrade Roach's accomplishments
    so he came up with the all the crap about Pac being on peds and his son went along with him when he more than anybody should know how full of **** his father is.

    What I'm referring to is the agreement of Pac running out the first time because of a blood test. Both sides agreed that he did this. The Floyd losing his urge came after the first negotiation not before.

    I don't have to "affirm" that, it's their words and they've been quoted and printed. Perhaps something changes in the meantime that would cause them to change their position, but as of now it's there for all to see. I do think it's counterproductive to agree to testing, yet not have the best testing available utilized...but it's not me that's fighting so it's not really my call to make.

    With all due respect, I ask you genuninely and respectfully, please...with sugar on top don't insult my boxing intelligence with the implication that I simply "follow Floyd" or that somehow I am less likely to understand historical ramifications, general boxing ideas, communication and/or it's impacts on legacy, etc. I can deal with the disagreement, but this is bull**** and a seriously flawed evaluation.

    How do you suggest catching a cheat if not by increased sophistication and continuously improving testing standards?

    Well I agree that if he needs to be in US for the tests, but for different reasons than Sr mentioned. In Philippines he has enormous respect and is a very rich and powerful man, so he could potentially tamper with the test results. Kinda what Floyd could be doing with the test results in US, being an american and a rather rich one at that, with a very powerful backing of GBP.

    I wish there was a steroid or a ped that increased a fighter's courage, so we could pump Floyd with them and then we could have a fight, no tests no bs.
