    A loss and a significant hit to his celebrity status and money making ability.

    That's what is so terrifying.

    I never said Floyd was afraid of Pac in the first place.

    Pac came down more than 6 days. Initially, before the Olympic tests were brought up, there were no blood tests at all. Then Floyd asks for blood tests up to the day of the fight, then Pac agreed to 30 days, then Floyd 14, then Pac 24.

    Pac moved from nothing, to 30, to 24. Floyd moved from day of the fight to 14.

    Floyd specifically added a clause in the ORIGINAL contract that both fighters have random drug tests(blood/urine) up until the day of the fight. .. ... . Anyone with a half a ****ing brain would know that is a far stretch from preset dates with a 24 day cut off for blood work. If Floyd was going to accepts Pac's bull**** steroid tests that any juicer would love to have..... then he might as well not said anything. Oh **** it.. I forgot these are pacabitches. Shut the **** up and get on the block and make me some money.

    any juicer would love to have random urinalysis until the last day coupled with random blood testing up till 24 days away from the fight...

    Stop being an idiot.

    More like he accepted Team Manny's counteroffer.

    Those two guys were legends by the time they were 25. Pacquiao wasn't even considered a potential ATG until he was 29 or 30.

    A loss to May and Pac's reign on the top is short like leprechauns.

    See, it's dumb floyd fans who think win/loss records means more than who you have beat.

    Floyd is undefeated and can't outrank a guy with 3 losses.

    Wonder why.

    Were discussing why Manny is scared of Floyd. You pointed out that Manny likely isn't concerned for his health by fighting Mayweather and I'm agreeing with you but pointing out why he doesn't want the fight (other than not wanting to be exposed as a cheater). I don't know what your response above has to do with anything.

    Manny has just recently been discussed as a potential ATG. Right or wrong? In his early-mid 20's, he was a good fighter. :deal

    Do you really believe that Manny's card is that much more superior to Floyd's? Especially if Floyd beats Mosley and then beats Pacquiao?

    Right, but he doesn't have the personality of a guy who is worried about losing to floyd. I don't even think he considers it a possibility.
    My point is that there is no way he is scared of Floyd. He should have been more scared of Cotto and he walked right through him.
    Floyd is just a slick boxer with superb defense. He isn't going to do much in the way of making Manny scared of him.

    Manny's resume is more impressive than floyd's right now.
    We'll see what happens.
