I knew Floyd would find a way to back out. Pac should ditch him and fight Mosley

    You have the right to believe whatever you want. I can tell you right now that's not how it's going to look. Take a look at this article. Expect more like this if Pac doesn't comply;

    Alright then. If that's the case, then Arum should be calling the fight off today and announcing his intentions of matching Pac with Shane or Marquez. Somehow I doubt that will happen. I don't think Top Rank wants to play around with millions of dollars here in an attempt to call GBP's bluff. But hey, what do I know. I'm delusional.

    I know that, but don't expect most to take Pac's side. I believe Manny will give in when all is said and done anyway.

    The easiest way to turn this around on Mayweather is get a respected doctor to make a statement that testing by blood 30 days before and one day prior to the fight along with random urine tests throughout training would uncover and keep any foul play from happening by either fighter. Thats it simple really.

    If that is not acceptable by Mayweather's camp I would say that he does have second thoughts on the fight. As far as drug testing and making sure everything is on a more fair playing field, especially in light of Manny's recent fights and how they've ended I dont think there is anything wrong with that.

    He won't. His resume and legacy are beyond reproach as it is. His memory won't be tarnished by accusations of ducking.

    Dude Mosley was willing to go to 140 to fight Pac and you think he wouldnt fight Pac unless he takes some stupid tests,im willing to do a lifetime ban bet that Mosley if he gets past Berto would jump at the oportunity to fight Pac with or without blood tests.

    The same.

    The lengths some people will go to in order to back their favourite fighter is extraordinary. I logged on to this site expecting even diehard Floyd fans to be disgusted with his lamentable excuse-making. I'm in shock.

    Too bad there is already a respected doctor saying the opposite;

    However, Dr. Gary Wadler, an internal medicine physician and chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency’s Prohibited List and Methods sub-committee, said an athlete should not be able to dictate the terms of testing.

    Wadler called Top Rank’s offer to have Pacquiao give a sample in early January, 30 days before the fight and then immediately at the conclusion of the fight “a non-starter.”

    “The fundamental principle is that the time and place of testing is in the domain of the governing body, not of the athlete,” Wadler said. “It would lose all its validity if the athlete could pick and choose when he is going to be tested and for what he’s going to be tested for and how he’s going to be tested. They’re sophisticated enough now that if someone wanted to, you could play the calendar to your advantage.

    “There are pretty savvy guys out there who are quite conversant with that very issue. That, to me, would be a non-starter.”

    Realistically taking a small tube of blood a day before the fight wont do anything to either fighter. Its more of a superstition of Mannys than an issue of him being physically depleted in any way. Both fighters are susceptible to the same testing its not just Manny.

    If Floyd is willing to go through it as well I dont see how that makes Mayweather look like hes ducking the fight just more of a psychological warfare play on Mayweathers part.

    First of all, at this time, Pacquaio can already retire, without even thinking of his legacy and money, because his place in the boxing history is already set and his wealth now rivals the billionaire businessmen in the Philippines.

    As for Pac's options, IF ever he decides to fight on March 13, he can take on Foreman at 154.

    As for your contention that GBP will freeze out Pac, I don't think that would be a problem. Mosley and Marquez can bolt out of that promotion, especially Marquez after he was hassled by both GBP and Mayweather in his last fight. For Mosley, I seriously do not think that Mayweather is really interested to fight him. He might even ask forn olympic type drug test for Mosley, since he was already guilty before of using steriods!

    How about Mayweather? He practically came out of retirement just because of pacquaio, and the big money their fight can generate.

    So, this thing that Pac needs Mayweather more than Mayweather needs him is just not credible.
