    Pacquiao avoided testing because he was "terrified " of needles, only idiots like you fall for that...

    Pacquiao never said that. And in 10 years, no Floydette or Juanita has ever supplied a direct quote.

    :deal:

    You always accuse floyd and Marquez when they have never failed or avoided testing

    Floyd rejected VADA-testing and the $5 million dollar per positive test penalty.

    Marquez rejected VADA-testing against Bradley.

    You do know that Pac has another draw on his record to a guy called Agapito Sanchez? Sanchez was nowhere close to the best he fought at 122-126 so why so much trouble?

    Simple, he was a dirty ass fighter. Pac too clean, don’t deal very well with dirty fighters. Specially one protected by refs and judges with considerable size advantage.

    By your logic Pac should have been destroyed by MAB at 126 since he struggled with a dirty fighter not on his level with Sanchez.

    Same thing here.

    Pac is a different level.

    And no Thurman isn’t one of the fastest. Bradley, jmm, Hatton, Mosley, floyd, Algieri, broner, maybe even Vargas and everyone <130lbs he fought are faster than him.

    Thurman is slow.

    I read only the first pharse, then I stopped.

    You know that pacman lost to the substitute teacher yesterday and not 100 years ago, isnt it?

    Like the Time when Memo Heredia said 100% JMM will KO Pacman ?
    Although obviously Memo was Pending Marquez that time.

    I think Thurman is going to struggle. Really wouldn't be surprised if Manny wins this.

    I hope Pac wins, it's awesome that an old guy can still compete with the top guys in the division. In the last fight of pac I saw I thought he looked much slower than he used to be & Thurman is a very good fighter who has great ring IQ. I think this will be a great fight, and respect to both of them.

    You know you don’t understand logic right?

    Whether yesterday or 100 years ago makes no difference. The point stands. It’s a stylistic thing.

    pfffff is you say so..

    It's not a stylistic thing, it is an "I'am 40 years old" thing.

    But whatever, I dont care, thurman is not paying me. I just dont care. We dont agree, isnt it? well, ok, no problem, we cant always agree. The day of the fight we will see and that's all.

    How many times do I have to school you?

    Pacquiao didn't want his blood drawn close to the fight — he felt having blood drawn on the day of the fight weakened him. There is a freaking video of this from years before.

    He wanted a window of no blood (unlimited urine okay) 24 days out. According to every PED expert, there are zero benefits to juicing during that period. 7 of those 24 days are media days (fight week) and staying loose. He said that he would give blood immediately after the fight.

    But since that fight broke down, Pac had said that he would take any testing Floyd wanted. The same exact messaging from 2010-2015. It never was about drug testing because it took 5 years for Floyd to agree to fight after Pac said any testing is okay starting in 2010.
