Was the drug testing procedure a way out for floyd from the beggining? Vote

You watching berto mosley at your place?

 

We all do it, it's the nature of the beast.
I don't know a whole bunch of serious boxing fans down here, just people I converted while I was in the navy, and even then I still kinda have to convince them to watch fights.
It's a goal to get as many people watching as possible.

 

I voted Yes. This move has effectively been a smear campaign by Floyd against Pacquaio where he can give the appearance of wanting to fight without having to actually do so to the mainstream, and cast a bit of doubt on the legitimacy of Pacquiao's wins/p4p status. Had Pacquaio agreed to Floyd's terms to the letter, I believe Floyd would have just come up with something to get out of the fight anyway. I don't think Floyd is physically afraid of Pacquiao, but he is afraid of losing his zero(which he technically shouldn't have anyway as Castillo can attest to) and his claim to being the best fighter ever in his own mind and in the minds of a few of his fans. As long as he doesn't test himself, we'll never know one way or the other what he could have been. It's somewhat similar to people wondering what Tyson could have been with better people around him, some people say he'd have been the greatest Heavyweight ever. Floyd can claim himself as the best, as apparently as long as he believes it and a few people back his claim, that's good enough for him without having to prove it.

 

He said "he got his ass beat by whats that dudes name?"
Making it sound like he wasn't worth the time.
Dude, you cannot deny his antics. Even if he is the most skilled boxer alive, outside the ring he contradicts himself and talks out of both sides of his mouth.
I will never talk against his skill, just the level of competition he takes on, and the manner in which he talks about other boxers.
I hate these qoutes.
"Mosley, who got 5 losses?"
"I got 12 million to fight baldomir"
"I am the best boxer to ever put on a pair of gloves"

if you're the best, you don't need to say it, the fans will.

 

This will divide the fans until the fight happens.
This will be like the hagler leonard talks that dominated boxing conversaton for YEARS.

Who would have won, and why didn't the fight happen?

 

:rofl

****ing wow..lol

 

It should also be remembered that Mayweather called Winky out, Winky agreed, Floyd peed his pants and ran away.

Folks, he has done this before, this is nothing new from Flolyd.

 

It's true that Floyd had no way of knowing that Pacquaio wouldn't agree to his drug testing specifications, but he had to think there was a decent chance that he wouldn't. Pacquaio is a proud fighter and by all accounts his team is tough in negotiations. If he had given in to Floyd's demands, he would effectively be displaying that Floyd is the man in control, as while Pacquaio had demands of his own, his demands had some precedent, such as Floyd coming in overweight for the Marquez fight, while Floyd's demands are based on nothing but hearsay(started by his dad) and are unprecedented in boxing. The fact that Floyd is asking it of Pacquaio with no proof is an insult in itself, as Floyd is trying to paint the situation as Pacquaio is guilty until proven innocent. Despite this, Pacquaio has agreed to almost all of what Mayweather has asked for, but it's still not good enough for Floyd.

Had he backed out of the fight for other reasons, it would have had a very negative effect on Floyd's already fairly negative perception among many of the boxing public. This way hurts Pacquaio somewhat, gives the appearance that Floyd tried to make the fight, and the controversy takes the focus off Floyd not fighting him.

And there's no way to prove that Floyd has ducked anyone, however, these are the general consensus top Welterweights over the last few years(Shane, Margarito, Williams, Clottey, Cotto, Floyd). Only one of them has not fought any of the others. That's very telling in my eyes. In less than one year at the division, Pacquaio made a fight with one of them. At a catchweight to be fair, but the point is the fight was made. Pac proved he's willing to fight one of the best. At the same time, when Mosley was calling for Floyd to fight him(which everyone wanted to see), Floyd picked Marquez(which nobody was calling for) and called him a bigger draw, comparing their fight to Duran versus SRL. What Floyd didn't say was that Duran had fought about eight times at Welter against solid competition before facing SRL versus zero for Marquez, and that Duran was a career lightweight while Marquez was a career Featherweight. Floyd also signed to come in at 144 lbs to give the appearance of a more competitive fight, said on 24/7 that the weight was made, then came in at 146 lbs. Sketchy stuff.

If Floyd signs to say, fight Clottey or someone of that caliber, assuming this fight isn't happening, then I would be more amenable to thinking that he's not dodging Pacquaio. But I doubt he will.

 

Post the proof right here please. When will you testify in court?

Poll: Yes
