    That doesn't change the fact that Floyd fought the most cautious fight of his career, initiated 20+ clinches, was doping, and received illegal IV fluids against a one-armed Pac.

    All we know is that hardened proven warriors have promised to go to war and ended up running. Spence and Crawford may run or they may not. We will have to see.

    PBF was cleared by NSAC and USADA. Pac said he was healthy and checked the form as such. The injury is just an excuse no version of Pac could beat PBF. PBF is and always will be a stylistic nightmare for Pac and beat him with ease. 118-110 Deal with it.

    Pac had the injury during camp and applied for an exception for a Toradol injection (approved substance) and was denied (over a technicality about a signature). Floyd broke WADA code and didn't admit himself into a medical facility as specified by WADA code. Bob Bennett initially lambasted Floyd and USADA for the TUE, but quickly backtracked and changed his tune and said Floyd did nothing wrong. Floyd exhibited ZERO SIGNS of dehydration at the weigh in (in fact, he looked strong as an ox).

    Floyd also rejected VADA testing because he privately contracted w/ USADA on HIS terms. Floyd also rejected a $5 million per positive test penalty.

    These are the FACTS.

    Speculation with no proof. What is a fact is that PBF didn't have to get out of 1st gear in that fight it was over after the 1st round when PBF countered Pac clean and that Maidana gave PBF a harder fight than Pac did those are facts. Let that sink in PBF UD #48 now then and forever deal with it.:deal:

    Speculation?

    Did Floyd not violate WADA code? Why yes, he did, per WADA code.

    Did Bob Bennett blast Floyd and USADA when the news first hit? Why yes, he did.

    Did Floyd not reject a $5 million per positive test proposal? Why yes, he did, as confirmed by Ellerbe.

    Floyd schooled Pac. People try and blame Floyd for his game plan in the fight but nobody is asking what Pac should have done different. Fact is that Pac had no plan B and if he did Floyd would have adjusted and the schooling would have continued.

    Well Floyd fouls his way. Clinching is illegal, like low blows, except it’s allowed. Pac don’t clinch or foul.

    I’d like to see Floyd win without clinches or bending below the waist, both of which are illegal moves.

    The ref is biased and let’s him get away with it, one can only do so much.

    Bro, Pac stunned Floyd twice in the fight and the rest of the way, he was almost tit for tat with landed punches. No schooling took place, but lots of illegal clinching and tactics did.

    Floyd can't trade or outfight Pac and that's just a fact.

    And...

    How do you just dismiss Pac's injury and Floyd's blatant doping?

    You are Pacquiao's big fanboy and we all know this Android. His era is coming to an end so please deal with it.

    Nothing wrong with strategic clinching, holding is illegal and he wasn't holding. He never got called for holding. If you haven't seen Floyd win without clinching then you haven't watched many of his fights. You can blame it on refs or whoever you want to but the fact is that he schooled Pac and Pac knows it.

    There was nothing wrong with Pac except he was in the ring with his superior. Ok, he can't trade or outfight Pac, however he can out think and out box Pac and he did just that.

    Except sparring partners confirmed the injury, Ellerbe himself said that he had knowledge that Pac was having a terrible camp, and a world famous surgeon (the same that operated on Loma and the likes of Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, and more) confirmed the injury and surgery.

    Now, what do you have to say about Floyd obviously doping for the fight?

    I don't indulge in fantasies, hearsay and gossip. I don't see no earthly reason for a fighter to step into the ring for the fight of his life and against the p4p best fighter in boxing unprepared or damaged. It just don't make sense.
