    Dictating terms is.

    Funny, you'd get off-topic in your own thread. Anyhoos, I take it you'd rather believe Pac is scared of Floyd? This is a guy who fought MAB/JMM/EM within a year and a half, a guy who campaigns at a weight were he routinely gives up significant height, weight, and reach advantages. You seriously believe a defensive powderpuff like Floyd gives Pac the heebeejeebees?

    This is an example of dictating terms. Quit owning yourself.

    I voted yes, not scared but he doesn't want the fight, he doesn't fancy it, he could force it but won't.

    It boils down to 2 things really, either he's hiding behind Uncle Bob pretending he wants the fight or he is actually ******ed enough to buy what Arum's selling

    They're both professional boxers who've faced great fighters in the past. I highly doubt either of them physically fears the other. I think they're both aware that the longer the drama surrounding a potential fight plays out, the more money the fight is likely to make. The disagreements over purse and drug testing issues have most likely held the fight up even further. I'm fairly confident the fight will happen late 2012, November or December. If it doesn't happen then, I don't think it ever will.

    I think Pac believed his own hype up until this last fight. The Mosley fight planted seeds of doubt, now after Marquez Manny realizes he hasn't improved as much as he's been led to believe.

    It's not the same type of fear. Not fear of being hurt, but fear of being thoroughly outclassed, yes.

    Lol at "made man"/"jumping through hoops" bull****. The constant enabling of Manny's "fans"/"followers" is what allows this kind of bull**** to keep happening, it's pathetic.

    He showed no such fear when he faced Barrera, Oscar, Sasakul, Ledwaba....all fights were he was the decided underdog. In fact, he tends to shine the most when noone gives him a chance.

    First...I'll wait for an apology, because I have never said anything about Pacquiao being afraid of FMJ. Second, if you believe that Pacquiao nor his Team is Afraid...THEN WHY ARE WE HAVING A DEBATE ABOUT A MYTHICAL FIGHT INSTEAD OF AN ACTUAL FIGHT. And finally...you say that Floyd is "Dictating terms". You act as if this May 5th date is tomorrow or FMJ just sprung the date on them at the last minute. Floyd announced his plans to fight May 5th at the MGM two weeks prior to the JMM fight. That 7 ****ing Months. But this is dictating terms....But yet refuse to see it as "Dictating Terms" when Team Pacquiao says only Late May...oops, early June.

    So Pacquiao is not afraid of fighters with signifcant height, weight and reach advantage...but he's afraid of an 80 year old Jewish Fatass. "STEP-UP PUNK".

    Keep ya head up. It's happening. And don't act like none of that made any sense. It's natural human behavior. It's hard to make concessions when you're on top of the world.
