Random Drug Testing - Is mayeather really scared of pacquiao or is he a Pac Fan?

Good post. Although he won't admit it, I do think he has genuine respect for Pac's abilities, but not enough to believe Pac is capable of defeating him. But Floyd being Floyd (meaning he'll leave nothing to chance), will do everything in his power to have a less than 100% Pacquiao in the ring.

 

You make some very good points.
Mayweather obviously has a very healthy respect for what Pac can do in the ring. Im willing to bet that theres even a little bit of fear of Manny, not saying that hes terrified of him but I think he does make Floyd a bit nervous. What he has been doing in the ring is surprising to practically everyone, including Floyd, hence, as we all know, the steroid allegations. Like you said, if Pac was barely winning there would be no drug testing fiasco whatsoever. Its because Pac's been looking like a machine destroying guys who people thought he wouldnt have much of a chance against.
Someone made a thread asking why people think its impossible for a professional boxer to be afraid of someone? Its a great question, whenever someone talks about this guy being afraid of that guy, people always think saying "he's not scared he fights for a living!" Bull****, look how many professional fighters were TERRIFIED of Mike Tyson. Bowe was obviously scared of Lennox. And I think Floyds a bit scared of Pacquiao.

 

Interesting points.
He's not just scared of losing, he's scared of losing to Pac. This is why all this **** was started in the first place, he sees something in Pac and he thinks that he can possibly lose to him. Why else would all this steroid bull**** come into play.
"theres too much on the line for it to be a "fair fight"! nothing is truly fair and both camps kno this...may capitalized first...and we all kno in chess the first move sometimes is the most important becuz it sets everything up later...so no i dont think may is "scared" of manny...may is scared of losing. so yu hav to "cheat" if yu wanna INSURE victory.. by planting the seed of weakness and doubt"-Your literally justifying mayweather cheating to gain an advantage in a fight. Your absolutely right I believe he would do anything to gain as much of an advantage he can in a fight. (Like what he did to Marquez, what he's doing to Pac). But dude thats ***** ****. Trying to do anything beforehand to keep the fight from being fair, as you readily admitted he does (despite the fact that he keeps screaming about how he just wants to fight on a "level playing field"). Pac, or more percisely Roach saying Floyds legs are gone is not the same as Floyd dragging Pacs name throught he mud with baseless steroid allegations.

 

Pac's lawyers asked if it was possibly to brush it under the carpet if Pac tested positive

 

How do you know what Mayweather's motives are? This is just your opinion and you are trying to pass this along as fact.

Their is at least a million people in the United States who defended Mark Mcgwire day in and day out like people defend Pacquiao. I wonder how those people feel today? I just hope this is not the case with Manny because it will really hurt boxing as a whole. That's why i think people really do not want this to come out if true. All parties involved with boxing will take a hit on this.

Floyd is not scared of Pacquiao. He probably does have a great deal of respect for him as a fighter but make no mistake, he is not scared of him.

 

Folks, this is boxing and everybody wants an advantage whether it be physical or mental. When Shane tried to get a fight with Manny, he agreed to everything Manny wanted and after he agreed Freddie Roach asked him to fight at 142lbs. This is after Manny had three fights at at least 145lbs. So don't pass blame for anybody trying to get an edge in any fight. Don't act like Floyd is the only one looking for and edge but at the end of the day you have to get in the ring and MAN THE **** UP.

 

Manny Pacquiao is the greater fighter at this point. No question.

 

The debate on who's ducking who or who's scared of who is getting real old. Bottom line both fighters have respect for one another. They both had clauses in the fight contract to makes sure neither fighter has the advantage over the other, one agreed the other didn't. Manny feels if Floyd comes in 3-5lbs heavier it can cause him to loose the fight, while Floyd feels if Pac comes in on roids it can cause him to loose. $10mil per pound and Floyd drug test should be enough to ease both guys fear of each other.

Shall i go on?

 

Ugh, see you're doing it too. Making bull**** up and labeling it as fact with regards to Pacquiao.

McGwire admitted to using a banned steroid(which was legal in the US and MLB) in 98, had a book written by Canseco accusing him of using roids, and was subpoenaed by a grand jury regarding steroids.

All those events are facts. Let me repeat that, those above are facts. Forming an opinion that McGwire was on roids is valid given the events he was involved in.

Where are the facts/events that allow you to lump Pacquiao in along with McGwire? Show me the beef, er the facts!
