    The world knows Floyd ducked 2009 pac, and he was scared of other fighters too like Margo.

    Look at my video at 2:37 and get back to me.:deal Pac's own trainer Roach said the fight didn't happen back in 2009-2010 because they didn't want testing and it was mostly their fault. Let me guess I'm making that up to.

    The fight didn't happen back in 2009 because of pac. He didn't want the testing. PBF agreed to a 50/50 split the weight fine everything Pac walked away to fight Clottey over testing period.

    So whats pacs greatest wins? Fighting past prime greats or using catchweights to drain very good fighters to get the advantage?

    Why wouldn't he fight Floyd? Scared of needles? Couldn't find the right pair of socks? Or that just maybe he would of been outclassed like he did against Floyd when they did fight. Pac wasn't the only old fighter in the ring that night Floyd has adapted his style with age and his poor hands. If it were prime vs prime Floyd would still win because of his ability to adapt and take away his opponents offense. Manny is not smart enough to beat Floyd. Deal with it!

    Actually it was Pac who signed before floyd in 2009 the only reason it did not happen was floyd making a big deal about some new testing

    even floyds handlers admitted team Pac signed of on everything and the contract was given to floyd only for him to ask for testing and making a big deal about it

    Pac also maybe thought floyd was on roids but never made a big deal why should floyd?

    Random drug testing was obviously scarier, who would've known

    Manny's failure in the most important fight of his career absolutely traumatized them :rofl

    Moat emotionally devastating loss for a fanbase in boxing history.

    I think Floyd would have always beaten Pacquiao. Floyd would have the advantages in reach and height.

    Floyd would follow the blueprint Marquez and Morales laid out.

    Also, Pacquiao has never been good at cutting off the ring.

    One of the things you need to trouble Floyd is a good jab. Pacquiao's jab might as well not even exist.

    Pacman should have accepted random drug testing, it is that simple, but he ran away from it like a scared POS. Maidana put in a better effort against Floyd than Pacman, disgraceful :verysad
