1. *******s 2. He's been putting the beats on mexicans for a long time, which has developed resentment within mexican boxing fans, the largest individual group of boxing fans on earth.
You think it's a coincidence that Manny who is very suspicious, runs and hides from drug testing, making up all kinds of ridiculous excuses? Shut up with the whole "Floyd never asked anyone before" argument, he has been using the testing for quite a while now, Mosely and Ortiz had absolutely no issue doing it either. Testing is the standard thing now, most of the big fights have it now, you're looking less informed every single post you make. Speaking of JMM, this is the same guy who agreed to do ANY kind of testing when Manny's hypocritical camp decided to accuse him of being on PEDs.... You never heard a word from them about it again Keep making your excuses to defend your boy, who is a PED cheat, a catchweight king, and a farce.
A different take is fine. Ignoring an ever growing mountain of verifiable evidence that something doesn't work or someone is lying is NOT a different take. That is selective ignorance. I attack nonsense with vitriol. Be it tax cuts for the rich create jobs or that Pac had a legitimate reason for not taking that test. Gem? That is the flat out truth. You make the case that FMJ asking for FROSDT was unusual and unreasonable and that somehow these unusual requests provided a logical basis for Pac's constant string of lies. This completely disingenuous. Why? 1. Non-Standard requests are and have always been a part of Boxing 2. The FROSDT protocol requested has been scientifically proven not to hinder performance. So using history and science the entire argument you and your buddies use is invalid. And like I said, neither were 12 round championship fights and attached thumb gloves. Why do you state this lie about boxing authorities conducting their own tests when I gave you the VERIFIABLE evidence of Tyson asking Holyfield for extra testing? Why? Let me do the heavy lifting for you: http://www.fightsaga.com/news/item/1367-Mayweather-Not-the-First-to-Demand-Alternative-PEDs-Testing Hell at one point, drug testing wasn't part of professional Boxing. Protocol changes. Sound protocol should be supported. I don't care what any ulterior motives are. He asked for something reasonable and I expected a reasonable response. A flat "No." would have been reasonable. The lies were not. The fact is no clean fighter passes up the richest fight in history in which he is getting GROSSLY overpaid (50/50) over a drug test he can allegedly pass. I don't care what those men say. Even if FMJ's "fear" is real, a drug test request should NOT stop a clean fighter from getting to you. Why? He would just take the tests then kick your can. Again, lack of perfect results does NOT mean rejection of a REASONABLE request for an improved precaution. If you know a person who dies in a car wearing a seat belt does that now mean that seat belts are pointless? Right. No fighter nor any fan should EVER be against better testing. EVER. The only rabid bias I have is toward common sense on all subjects. You seem to not share this bias on this particular subject... and it shows.
In spite of all the hoopla, Pac's a fighter --albeit a damn naive one -- in eye of the hurricane, constantly being taken advantage of by his advisors. He'll be lucky if he winds up with a cent after he hangs'em up.
I could be OK with that, but the guy gleefully soaked up all of this media nonsense pretending to be the (good) guy that Arum and Koncz fabricated him to be both socially and professionally. It isn't hard to find ******* children, political rival assassination attempts, extended family gambling rings, etc... He even plays it up! All at the expense of another man. I am a man and I could even find forgiveness for the guy for taking care of his family, but any man with morals in Pac's position's soul would be withering. At some point living the lie so wholeheartedly makes you just as evil as those crafting it.
You'd be bowled over by how much Pac's just a beaming little kid who likes watching cartoons in person, S. Duplicitous isn't in his lexicon.
The same reason people hated(trust me, I know way more liked them too, the same can be said about Pacquiao) Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali or even Sugar Ray Leonard. These guys reached the highest level of fame therefore attracting massive audiences. The more the fans/people, the more the simple minded and clueless. Sadly, there are many people out there willing to judge great highly regarded fighters by their fans. Those same people will be the first in line, as usual, to cry blood when great fighters finally retire.
If he was an eight-year-old, wouldya give'm a pass, bhs? Because aside from the grown-up muscles, that's what he is -- a sweet precocious child.
