    i have my own mind as to not believe in every roach word. floyd could have fought a better version of oscar but it was still in decline. but let's not forget that pac is basically coming from 135 and is an underdog that night so basically pac is taking the bigger challenge when both pac and floyd fought oscar.

    pac fought hatton and jmm at a weight that is more suitable for them. i hope joyboys can comprehend this and not rely on some silly video that was spinned to make pac bad and floyd good. this is called nitpicking and we can do this to every fighter. the whole story is the more important and you cannot understand this if you are only concerned with floyd's nuts. :good

    Why would it be a ***** move for Floyd to stick with the commission rules of 10oz gloves for welterweight fights?

    Are you saying it's ok for Pacquiao to refuse Mayweather's drug test demand and go with what the commission wants but it would be a ***** move if Mayweather wouldn't give in to Pacquiao's glove demand and go with the 10oz the commission want?

    I don't know what that something is, perhaps he had a tip off? Perhaps he just has a suspicion and wants to make sure? I don't know the answer to that one.

    Spin it however you want but Pac's trainer admits that Mayweather fought better versions of both, an unbeaten Hatton who was at the top of his game and a De La Hoya that weighed the best part of 20lbs heavier than the drained one that fought Pac.

    Even Roach can get Pac's balls out of his mouth long enough to tell it like it is so I'm not sure why you can't just accept it.

    Don't even bother bringing up the 10oz vs 8oz glove argument.

    Floyd's excuse when asked why he looked like **** vs Oscar compared to Pac vs Oscar was Floyd said, "Vs. Oscar, they made me wear 10 oz gloves..."

    Floyd forgot that they made Oscar wear 10 oz gloves too.

    Floyd=Coward
    Pacquiao=Paper Champion

    Damn.. I feel like Floydette.. I can't decide if I stay or go like how they cant decide if Manny sucks or if he's so good he's roiding..

    pac has basically agreed to a fight at 147. yes he is the welter champ but he is still a natural light welter. so fighting floyd at 147 is disadvantage in itself. so floyd asking pac to wear a pillow gloves would be a ***** move so as it would take pac's power away. it's actually a non-issue since floyd fought jmm with 8oz gloves so why not pacquiao?

    and pacquiao did agree to floyd's demand that the fight took place in his hometown and had the title billing with floyd's name first.

    a tip-off from whom? from his father that pac has been using roids? floyd has a good info man. :lol:

    toontoon, you missed the part when i said,

    "why he looked like **** vs Oscar compared to Pac vs Oscar "

    sure Oscar was shot vs Manny.. just like the rest of Pac's opponents, but still.. when you compare the Floyd vs Oscar to the Pac vs Oscar... the beating Pac gave Oscar is even more impressive than the beating Floyd gave Jmm.

    compared to pacquiao, he looked **** against oscar. he had to tire oscar first before he can launch his own punches. oscar made the fight more interesting, if not for him this fight is a total snoozefest.

    But the commission states that unless both boxers agree to a different size glove then both welterweights should wear 10oz gloves, the same way that the commission has it's standard drug testing but if boxers want to agree to a different testing procedure it's up to them.

    It seems you want to go with the commission when it suits Pac but if Floyd was to go with what the commission say and not give in to Pac's demands then it's a ***** move.

    Nice double standards there.:good

    Again I don't know what the reason was for Mayweather wanting a drugs test, you seem to be pushing me for an answer to something that I don't have an answer for.

    Roach has already said that Oscar was in decline since the Mayweather fight, add to that he was 20lbs heavier fight night in a weight he was comfortable at.:good

    I've no problem with saying that the version of Marquez that Mayweather beat was not as good as the Marquez that Pacquiao robbed in a decision, so why can't you admit that Mayweather beat better versions of De La Hoya and Hatton than Manny did?

    Even his own coach can admit it.
