    He then goes on to say "that man was about to fight my son". These seem like the words of a concerned father who was looking out for the safety of his son, and was not confident of his son winning. Furthermore, it sounds like Floyd Sr new that his son would take heavy punishment from Pac, and concocted the whole "steroid issue" to prevent this fight from happening.

    Funny how Sr goes from "that man cant fight for ****. He got no skills" to....."I did what any father would do. That man was about to fight my son"

    He didn't wanna see his son end up like Cotto or Hatton.

    If his son got hurt who would buy him crack?

    Thats what he was worried about.

    Maybe its because Pac walked through all of Cotto's skills the way he did.

    This despite Cotto not having Evanglista in his corner, or any boxing people in his team.

    Cotto didn't land many big shots.

    This is kind of funny coming from a guy who used his son as a human shield when someone was pointing a shotgun at him. Or am I getting my story confused with someone else?

    He was talking about demanding drug testing, not avoiding the fight. Pacquaio and Arrum walked away from the fight not Mayweather

    Well for someone who Floyd Sr claims "cant fight for ****, and has no skills", he seems pretty concerned about his son fighting him.

    if u think a man is using PEDs then yes you would speak up and ask that he be tested more thoroughly, doesnt mean ur afraid that ur son will lose or scared of the guy...these are professional athletes, this is their job to step in the ring and fight, to claim that one man is scared of another is just stupid, especially with the caliber of athletes we are talking about...but i can see why pac fans and/or floyd haters would take these comments and blow them outta proportion.
