http://www.boxingconfidential.com/articles.php?id=7241 Found a great read.......Pacquiao's legacy and career is going to take a big hit. Butch Lewis, former manager and boxing promoter makes some exellent points in this read.
In the disgusting world of boxing in today's age in which a fighter who ducked his whole ****en division is ranked so highly, it is no wonder that when a truly great fighter arrives he is torn down by the boxing world for being too good. Maybe boxing really is done. I've been watching old fighters lately. Arguello. Duran. Leonard. Sanchez. Because there's nothing left of the past today.
Unless there's a smoking gun, any bit of documentable proof, that Pac is on or has actually used steroids, he will remain innocent until proven guilty. Use a little common sense everyone. If the sporting world is expecting the arrival of an anti-doping savior, I guarantee you, his name won't be Floyd Mayweather Sr.
None of you ****ers even bothered to read this ****. It's a decent article...not filled with too many "good" points. But the most glaring one in the article is the one that says that Arum is far too greedy to let this kind of money fall off the table and the problem is within the Pacquiao camp, not Arum himself. And with Roach saying **** about 5-day cut off window...this starts to narrow it down. Why is Michael Koncz and Ariza so hateful? Ariza being his conditioning coach. Koncz being a slimy **** that said that "Roach isnt necessary." Seems to me there's FAR more to this story than anyone is really picking up on. But something is going on in that circle...
Which of course is true. The problem is that Pac is the problem for not accepting, not Arum. Before the mediation, Shafaer made Arum a 10 day window proposal, and Arum's response was that he was going to take the offer to Pacquiao.......so obviously if you're taking the offer to Pacquiao, Arum must have felt it was a reasonable offer. .......of course when Pac said no to Arum, its then Arum's job as Pac's promoter to spin it as all of a sudden an unreasonable offer. Imo, Pacquiao's refusal to comply with the testing must have Arum tied up in knots and frustrated beyond belief.
dunno, but for an ordinary fan, it was floyd who started this blood sucking fiasco, setting up another standard in his terms and all their reasoning is for the spirit of sportsmanship. wheres that sportsmanship when he refuse to loose weight vs JMM? It was floyd who is destroying his career. good for him he will learn his lesson in court.
Here's an experiment for you to give you a sense of how Pac felt being asked to further drug testing after passing 10 previous drug tests by a convicted ex-felon Floyd Sr. Go ask your wife, girlfriend, or daughter to take a lie detector test to determine how many guys they've had sex with. Whether they are innocent or not, I bet their reaction to you would be the same.
