    He's still a young fighter. He's prime right now as is Floyd. Why are people acting like Pac's the same age as Marquez?

    The gloves were brought several times before and after the interview. All the way up to the rematch. Ive never seen this interview, if it exsists then let me ask you this. How can Pac say that he would've knocked Morales out if he had his gloves and then also claim the blood being drawn is why he lost? Which one is it? Here's actually an entire article about Roach and about how that loss to Morales changed him as a trainer and Pac as a fighter(take notice that they he mentions why Pac lost and never lists gloves or blood being drawn as a reason for the loss)

    “After that conversation, I really woke up,” Roach said. “I knew Manny had the ability to be special. I’d been with him for a while at that point. That comment really made me think about what was going on with him. [The reporter] was right. Manny was pretty much a one-handed fighter. I knew there was a lot more there and I couldn’t be satisfied with him not taking advantage of that."

    You said he never mentioned the blood excuse with Morales until the PBF negotiations, you were wrong. Im not here to argue why he lost to Morales, thats a completely different issue.

    Just to entertain you though, a fighter will always think of excuses as to why he lost, not necesarily legit ones, but in their mind they have to convince themselves they will do better next time because the 'handicaps' they had for this fight wont be in the next. Pac may have blamed it on the headbutt, gloves, blood, one handed etc, I think he genuinely believed all of it...doesnt mean to say their the reason, but he will believe what he believes.

    Besides, who's to say you can only have one excuse? I got whooped in sparring today, I blame it on my lack of fitness AND my rusty reflexes, its not one or the other.

    This vid was taken in 2006, way before PBF & drugs ever came into equation.

    the night he fought barrera and JMM at 130 he was severely weight drained, he's just that good he still find ways to win. Manny's ideal weight class today should be at 140.

    He was weight drained in that example. Doesn't that make it irrelevant?

    Yeah......I'm not one to start many threads around here, but when this Pac-Mayweather random blood tests controversy started......I started several pertinent threads around here asking real questions to the forum.

    I wanted to get a real guage and see where everyone in the this forum stood in regards to the timeline of where they would draw the line for the window of testing......

    I was actually asking these questions before a window format was even proposed by either the Mayweather or the Pac side......
    ......I would have loved to have had the *******s opinion on record of where they stood in regards to when random tests should start, and when they should stop....

    I tried three or four times to open up threads to see where the forum stood before the actual window to test negotiations took place......
    .....but sadly, each time I opened the thread, it never lasted 10 minutes before a mod came on to not move it, but delete it altogether.:-:)-:)-(

    Obviouslly there are some moderators on hand here with a personal agenda, and its too bad, because it is diminsishing the quality of the forum.
