    That is not true at all. Commission only encourages additional testing beyond their own.

    Koncz, Arum, Roach... the entire Team Pacquiao came out and said VADA was a no go for the Bradley rematch despite having caught Rios with a banned substance for their fight. They even made statements saying they were more inclined to go with USADA than VADA, which is odd considering from 2010-2012 Team Pacquiao repeatedly claimed USADA was a corrupt organization that was essentially blocking a Mayweather fight.

    ---

    As for Pac not now or ever able to lose to a "featherfisted" opponent...

    Rustico Torrecampo KO3 Manny Pacquiao

    Rustico Torrecampo, he of a less than 30% KO ratio.

    Well, technically Judah outweighed Mayweather on fight night 150 pounds to 146 pounds.

    Floyd is a marketing machine with 0 wins vs a prime HOF fighter.
    He needs the perfect opponent and the perfect controlled environment to beat older or non power fighters at 147.
    Maidana should have known 2 or more of the judges would be in Floyd's pocket in his city and his venue paid for by his promotion entity.

    jesus, you aren't helping your argument any if you come in here posting a Dan Rafael article. The only thing that article is good for is to print it and then get used as toilet paper.

    What is the difference between that Pacquiao and the recent ones? If anything, that Margarito fight is when he started showing "compassion" to his opponents by stepping off the gas pedal in late rounds. Pac is now back to a more consistent work rate that spans the whole fight.

    And you honestly can't say that the fight with Bradley (who was then the unbeaten champ) is any lesser than the fight with Margarito ( whom Pac haters were belittling as nothing but a slow, one dimensional, come forward fighter at that time)

    Mayweather let him punch him half the night but Maidana's "Hands-Of-Hamster" mitts never even had Mayweather buzzed.

    What's up with that. Must be the missing lead lined gloves? :lol:

    That's my scorecard but it's probably relevant that the consensus seems to be that he was edged vs Castillo. That implies that the majority of people did not score all the first 5 rounds for him.

    Yes Manny and Miadana arent the same fighter. Everything the Manny does different makes the fight even harder for Floyd.

    Miadana comes in straight and stays in the pocket even when he is done punching. This is perfect for Little Mac Mayweathers defend and counter style of fighting.

    Manny however comes in from angles and doesn't stop throwing until he has left the pocket. This will give Little Mac Mayweather's defend and counter style fits.

    marketing ploy, he doesnt have any viable opponents left so when the sheep start saying maidana won of course he is going to jump at the first opportunity to sell another fight.
