    You have never heard anyone but Khan say something about fighting Floyd next.

    Floyd already said Khan has to prove himself.

    If you are Pacquiao...

    1) You're facing a guy who will try and dodge your speed.
    2) Overrated skill-wse.
    3) Couldnt stop Cotto, or Hatton or quick.
    4) An easy fight for you like a walk in the park.
    5) You stand to make more than 30 million dollars.

    Why won't you make the fight happen?

    Floyd hasn't really dealt with being overwhelmed though. Pacquiao throws 3-7 combos at all times, and that left hand against Rios was insane. The possibility is definitely there.

    Thing is, Pac looked amazing when his opponent walks forward. He jumps in, lands shots, stops them, jumps out, they walk forward, rinse and repeat. When he's on the front foot, like Vs Clottey, Mosley, JMM etc., he never looks that good as he chases the punches. Mayweather is like a superhero version of everything in the above combined. Clottey covered up, Mayweather is much better at it. Mosley ran away, Mayweather has great movement out of range. JMM had head movement, and countered too. Mayweather is basically the blueprint to beating Pac, but with Pac's natural skills, he CAN still get to May. All I can see is if May covers up, and Pacquiao throws like 5 or 6 punch combos, he can maybe land 1 sometimes, and all the punches would impress the judges.

    this much is clear to me now:
    FLOYD DOESNT KNOW HOW TO DEFEND A SOUTHPAW.

    he becomes offensive vs. them. watch his fight against southpaws.


    floyd can easily prove his innocence by:

    1. showing his contract in public
    or
    2. accept vada test and take his beating like a man.:deal

    Pac throws 3 -7 combos against guys who are there to be hit. He couldn't throw those combinations against JMM in the 3rd fight bc JMM gave him lateral movement and Manny doesn't know how to cut off the ring. Floyd's movement and reactions will be really quick and his foot work is going to mind F**k Manny.

    Like I said you are just trolling now. Floyd has held Southpaws to some of their lowest connect % in their career.

    Zab Judah only landed 19% of his total punches.

    Corley 23%

    Ortiz 18%

    Guerrero 19%

    Floyd dominates them and lands at a high rate like he does on orthodox and shuts Southpaws down defensively like he does Orthodox fighters.

    People lie but numbers don't.

    "Going to". If only that wording was correct :(

    Most likely you're correct, but sometimes Mayweather likes to use his blocking and head movement to avoid punches instead of always using his footwork. If he does this much in the fight, Pacquiao could throw a lot. He wouldnt land a lot clean, maybe none at all, but he'd still look impressive.

    I had Alvarez up a decent amount of rounds early in him Vs May because May can get a little bit negative at times. Then again, pointless to bring up. May caught a few jabs to the body (weirdly placed arm for defence should I say? lol) and then didnt throw much back. Against Pac, if he is trying to get out of range, he will, as Pac's arms arent exactly Canelo's.

    I said it an hour ago in a thread. It's my all time favourite Vs imo the undisputed all time great. I want Pacquiao Vs Mayweather, and Nick Diaz Vs Anderson Silva :D

    Here is the thing though. Floyd would tie Manny up, shove him, push off with his forearm and several other old school tricks to shut his offense down. Manny can't fight on the inside either. As soon as it goes there he is going tolook for the ref to break them up and Floyd will be going to the body.

    How you had Alvarez up is beyond me bc even Alvarez and his corner thought he was losing and losing early.

    "Floyd Mayweather Jr. Is Accused of Failing Several Drug Tests"

    "The latest rumors surrounding Floyd Mayweather Jr. are focusing on accusations that the boxer failed several drug tests. Mayweather's camp is staying silent, but this has not stopped the stories about his possible use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Instead of Manny Pacquiao, the doping allegations have now being aimed at Floyd Mayweather.

    The USADA and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been accused of failing three separate drug tests and testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Although he has lodged multiple accusations against Manny Pacquiao for allegedly using PEDs, Mayweather has always denied any claims that he relies on doping to stay in shape. Pacquiao and Mayweather recently settled a defamation lawsuit stemming from Floyd's accusations.

    Reports claim that Floyd Mayweather Jr. failed three drug tests, but the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) allowed him to have a waiver. He never faced any charges or consequences for the positive tests. There have been no specific details about the drugs available, but they have been identified as PEDs. Allegations that the USADA allowed Mayweather to get away with doping have become prominent.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s Silence

    Although he has been quick to accuse others of taking PEDs, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not responding to the rumors focused on him. In the past, Mayweather has suggested that a fight with Pacquiao was being delayed by his refusal to take Olympic-style drug testing. Manny Pacquiao has denied these reports and has recently settled a defamation lawsuit.

    The source of the rumors appears to be Gabriel Montoya who has received a stern warning from Golden Boy Promotions to stop the spread of these reports or face legal consequences. The rumors seem to be doing a good job of making many fans doubt Mayweather Jr.'s frequent claims that he wants to clean up boxing and stop drug use.

    Despite the focus on the fighters, the accusations also throw an unflattering light on the USADA. The organization has been involved in previous scandals, so the latest rumors have not been surprising. The USADA's connection to Golden Boy that led to the alleged issuance of waivers to cover up the positive drug tests has not been confirmed."

    Hey now, you know according to *******s that USADA would risk losing their Olympic Contract, risk going to prison for Floyd.

    What Floyd pays to have OSDT is nothing compared to what these guys get from the government
