    easily best fighter i have seen with my own eyes.
    i truly wish ggg was a legit 154 fighter and floyd was a legit 147 fighter.

    that to me would be the greatest match ever

    If Pacquiao wasn't as big of a draw that he was at the time, he would've accepted the offer. It wasn't Pacquiao that declined IMO, I think Arum/Roach didn't want to "bullied" in negotiations.

    Pacquaio can have the 5th fight with marquez and this fight will for sure do 1.5 million buys people would be interested to see if pac could get his revenge

    He can fight canelo also since canelo is with hbo anther big fight

    Mayweather has a very limited pool to pick from in terms of making big money

    the guys he has are garcia,thurman,khan i don't see him breaking 1 mill buys with any one of them

    what do you think?

    Pac did not agree, he asked for a 30 day cutoff. The test should be random. Floyd compromised (He shouldnt of had to) and offered 14 days. Manny declined and fought Clottey. Then his promoter tried to lie and say it was floyd that balked until the mediator came out on record and said that was a lie.
    In 2009 Manny ducked floyd. Plan and simple.
    Since then Bob Arum has gone out of his way to insult mayweather at every turn. That is why the fight hasnt happened. Honestly i only blame pac slightly. no offense to pac and his fans but i do not think he is smart enough to duck someone. I honestly think he will fight whoever his promoter tells him to fight. I think his promoter does all the ducking for him.

    You're not going to convince *******s by reasoning with facts. That ship sailed a long time ago.

    Pacquiao wanted 24 days, Floyd wanted 14 days. 10 days prevented this fight.

    honest question here, is canelo realistic?
    i personally think that a fight at 154 with a 10lbs rehydration clause is possible , canelo wont have to drain under 154 and he wont be heavier than 164 on fight night, thats prob as heavy as bradley was ..

    Please provide proof of where pac agreed to?

    That's not true, originally there was to be no cut off date. It is Olympic STYLE drug testing. They were to utilize the the same testing done in the olympics , meaning there was no such thing as cut off. Pac denied and his only offer was a 24 day cut off. Almost a whole month! Floyd rejected and countered with 14 days , pac rejected.

    I have no idea where you guys get your sources or statements. Both camps acknowledged the 14 day cut off and both camps acknowledged that team pac denied.

    Roach also acknowledged it was their fault (are you seriously going to argue with roach? This dispute should end here)

    Again, if your going to argue this please provide facts not the (I believe, most believe) crap. Also, what I mention is what was said during negotiations, actual negotiations . anything said after or in between is pointless and just talk, both had their opportunity to speak and Manny dropped the ball during negotiations.

    This whole "it was never done before" is a bunch of crap, I guess we should hold Floyd and Mosley for being the first 2 to ever do osdt seeing how it was new and "risky". It was a ped test man not something totally unrelated to boxing. If anything it should of been implemented a long time ago. *******s call Floyd scared because he felt pac was roiding and wanted him to test, yet its ok for pac to ask for it after being ktfo by a guy in a smaller weight division, sounds similar to Manny coming up in weight huh?

    So how do you explain Pacquiao asking Bradley and Rios for testing? Does he have proof?

    I think their options are pretty similar. You can't use Canelo because Mayweather already hopped on that bandwagon.

    That'd work. I doubt he'd be able/willing to go below 154 again. Difference is, Bradley is featherfisted, Canelo is not.
