    He does make some technical mistakes, but much fewer than average. There are very few technically near-perfect fighters in history - Joe Louis, Hopkins etc. Mayweather isn't in that bracket yet.

    Shane Mosley is a drugs cheat and shouldn't be fighting for a world title

    Jesus. This is probably not the thread to go back over old ground but what the heck.
    Whilst I think Manny should've taken the tests, why should he take them at the behest of Floyd when no other fighters in the States are subject to such scrutiny legally?
    Doping tests should be common practice, and I don't see why one particular fighter should be held accountable and everbody else given a pass.
    You can't compare Pac and Mosley.

    > He's not a fluid puncher

    The is just dumb.

    > When he misses is "single pit shot" he goes straight back into his defence and thinks about what he's going to do next.

    yeh, becuase he is a smart boxer.

    > He never really follows up on his missed pot shots.

    becuase a defensive fighter would not do that.

    I didn't make the comment with the intention of raking up old discussions, but my point is if you get asked to do a breath sample by the fuzz, and you ain't had a drink, no problem guv, let's do it. That is my view with manny. I don't personally think there would have been an issue with manny, but still, why not do it.

    And as regard floyd being technically flawed. i think there is a bit of a blurred line between people thinking that, and him not being aesthetically pleasing to some people. Just because he doesn't win the fights in the way some people think he should, does not make him technically flawed, just clever imo.

    The 'fuzz' didn't ask Manny to take a test. Nor did any appropriate anti-doping bodies. Floyd did. Big difference. If you were stopped in the street by a grocer or Dave from Greggs and asked to take a breath test I doubt you'd oblige.

    Technically flawed? are you having a laugh?

    He's one of the best technical fighters out there, also a fighter who turns his hand over properly when throwing punches as well.

    Not a fluid puncher? take a look at when he fought at 130 and put combinations together. As he's gone up in weight he feels that he's more effective pot shotting, and who's to argue? Nobodys proved otherwise as of yet.

    i know mate, and floyd was out of order for asking him to do it, but since he did, and manny wouldn't do it, clearly it was going to raise some questions about manny, and his ability to move up in wieght, and carry power, and endurance etc. Myabe the fuzz was the wrong example to use.
    I don't know too much about the shane situation.
    All i am saying with manny is if someone wants to smear your character by saying you ain't clean because you wont do the test, and you are in fact clean, then do the test if you have nothing to hide.

    Nonsense. Mayweather who struggled mightily with Oscar?

    Floyd has the following flaws:

    - struggles with the jab or any left handed punch
    - struggles with anyone throwing combinations at him
    - low output
    - takes up to four rounds to adjust sometimes
    - struggles when an opponent is quick

    what's the problem with taking rounds to adjust to an opponent. Some fighter DONT adjust at all during a fight, so the fact it only takes him 4 rounds sometimes is testement to his boxing brain and ability.
