    What have I said that is anywhere near stupid?

    I thought I was making sense, and by the way, I have been known to like Mayweather more than I do Pac... He just makes it really hard to defend him right now.

    There is no need to enter into discussions with a party that does not negotiate in good faith.

    If you remember he budged on USADA random drug testing before. (At that time he called it Olympic Style Drug Testing.) He began negotiations in good faith. They got down to 30 days. Pac was busted on 24/7 testing (comfortably) at 24 days so he changed it to 24. Mayweather said, let's meet 50/50 at 14 days which was actually more than 50/50 because Pac was busted at 24.

    Arum and Pac ended negotiations saying that Mayweather was "impossible" to work with. Mayweather said he offered 14 days due to wanting to beat Pac's "punk a$$". Arum said that was never offered. The mediator came out and slammed Arum. Arum then said 14 days was offered, but STILL killed the fight.

    Now to get this going is simple. NO test. NO fight. Guess who won't test? Pacquiao. There are no others on the horizon that the fans are askign for so he is on vacation.

    I believe you man. The mods seem to delete a lot that is neutral to pro-Mayweater/anti-Pac. Maybe they have some criteria that they are using?

    Posts and traffic pay the bills. Rational thought brings the post count down! :yep

    How come team Floyd keeps on moving the goal post? At least Pac is trying to make the fight happen while Floyd makes it hard.

    he's shown no interest in the fight in his later interviews.

    Oh for testing it shouldn't happen. The first time? I agree and Mayweather budged and bargained.

    After seeing the total and complete different fighter Mosley was with USADA drug testing? I am sorry man. I am now a believer that more people are doing things that we don't know about.

    He was the top ranked WW and was COMPLETELY gassed after 2 rounds. He didn't even punch himself out!

    Moving the goal post? They negotiated once and Pac was a dishonest snake. Because of this they now make a solid term with no negotiation.

    Why should he? Pac has shown he does not want this fight. If he wants the fight all he has to do is say, "I will submit to USADA drug testing." He won't though.

    That is why Arum plays, "I can't discuss it..." about drug testing, but can't seem to keep his mout shut about anything else.

    I honestly think Mosley just couldn't handle Mayweather's style, besides being a bit older....

    Mosley would still look good a against certain fighters, I think he would have a good fight with Pac. Or would destroy Margo again tomorrow.

    I don't think the testing had anything to do with it.

    This is also my impression. I'd still take Mosley to stop Berto and Margarito, beat Pacquiao whether by stoppage or points, etc.. I'll openly back that as well if any of those fights happen. Floyd vs. Mosley was a matter of styles and abilities.
