    Floyd or Pac?

    For me it's Mayweather.

    Pacquiao finds himself with a fight scheduled with a top welterweight contender/ex titlist. No doubt this will make good sales regardless of the relative obscurity of Joshua Clottey, he is the current WBO champ and will maintain his p4p ranking against a recognised top guy.

    Possibly sets up an end of year fight with Mosley/Berto/Foreman, assuming he wins.

    Mayweather on the other hand is caught in limbo, with rumours of his next opponent laughbly being Malignaggi, M.Hatton or Tim Bradley. He holds no WW title, will be fighting no current belt holders or top 5 guys and has skillfully manage to talk himself out of any possible Mosley fight, which would be the obvious next biggest fight for him.

    So how does any of this help the former p4p No.1?

    This comeback was going to make or break Mayweathers legacy. He claims that he doesn't care about things like that but does anyone believe him?

    Whether he was right or wrong on the drug test issue, he has well and truly ****ed himself up here.

    It's hard to say as we don't know what Mayweather's next move will be.

    Its hard to call.

    From a Pacquiao perspective, in my eyes, he would have a bigger name/more challenging fighter than Mayweather if they went their seperate ways. I also believed because of this he would have done better on PPV. This would ruin Mayweather 'i fight for the big money' approach.

    However, Pacquiao, is potentially going to fight clottey, which wont be a big draw. IF mayweather was to take on say Cotto or Margarito for example, he'd out do him on the PPV.
    Mayweather is also starting to look better off because there has been no official response from Pacquiao as to why he wont take the tests. Things have been said by his promoter and trainer, but not the man himself.

    Because of this, i would say at present Mayweather looks slightly better off, but if he ends up fighting Paulie, then they'll look as bad as each other. If mayweather fights matthew hatton, he's come off alot worse in my eyes.

    How many times has he said he wont fight Mosley because Mosley is a cheat, Mosley ducked him in the past, Mosley disrespected him after the JMM fight, blah de blah.

    If he signs up for a Mosley fight now and goes back on all he has said about the guy, I will be very surprised.

    both look kinda bad,there is a cloud over pacquiao from now on,i for one am slighly suspicious now,wheter hes clean or not who knows,as for FMJ,if he fights a guy his size next is a genuine contender-winner of berto/mosley and beats them then he is ok,if he fights matthew hatton next then he is a disgrace

    I think the drug test thing will be forgotten about after a couple of wins from Pac. Boxing fans are fickle so the only time it will be brought up is by Pac haters on forums and casual fans don't pay enough attention for this to stick in their memory.

    Unless Pac gets caught redhanded, its Floyd by far.

    When people starts hearing he was willing to take a blood test post fight , 24 days before the fight and unlimited urine tests then people will start thinking.
