    Floyd is becoming one of the biggest celebrity jokes.

    Good article. It says a bit about the state of the sport when one man has basically become synonymous with boxing and everybody else involved in the sport is taken into this myth. But the fact that Pacquiao won't take tests seems to have been forgotten.

    I don't like the way this forum has turned into a Floyd fan vs Pacquiao fan forum over the last few months. Everytime I log in now it's a chore having to go through all those posts taking up every page of every topic. Why can't people sit on the fence a bit more, or at least acknowledge things that the "enemy" say that might be true. Some people sound borderline ******ed the arguments they make for/against Floyd and Manny.

    A good article which seems more fact based than opinion based. Unless the facts are lies by SI I dont understand how people can defend the Mayweather camps actions as strongly as they do.

    The article doesnt prove the fight was ducked, but it does seem to prove that for some reason Team Mayweather didnt want it.

    With all due respect, mosley at that time, was the legitimate undisputerd welter champ. He did KO margarito. I wouldnt call that ancient. And I think 2011 well see pac-floyd. Its kind of hard to set up a fight if roger is going to jail at that same month. Especially when you have the bank reserves floyd has.

    yeah, the 1st time around, pac only agreed to 6 weeks of random blood testing and 8 weeks of random urine testing, along with a post fight urine and blood test.

    he's obviously hiding something.

    why are there all this newbies popping up to defend floyd?

    either they are paid floyd defenders, or *****s so ashamed they have to hide behind new alts.

    This article is pure fluff.

    -- Nobody said that they didn't speak just that the negotiations where BS
    -- Since May 2nd? WTF? Really? The day after?
    -- What does any of that other nonsense have to do with Mayweather?

    This is a crap article. He addressed NOTHING.

    Moron please. No drug test. No fight.

    It is pretty evident what happened. Manny came offering some BS concession on the drug test with a Plan B fighter sitting there waiting. Mayweather didn't fall for it this time and just repeated, "No drug test. No fight."

    Rather than man up and say he won't drug test EVER Manny and Arum played the chick route and created a bunch of misdirecting drama. That is how Rot Stank rolls.

    Simple minded fools like you don't see it though.:yep

    This is all well and good, all I want to know: Is Pac your final answer? When he beats the Pinoy, can all of this non sense stop, will you then STFU and give the man the credit he has EARNED. The fight is going to happen, and some of you are going to have the poop face the Sunday following, it baffles me that you would set yourself up for the backlash that's going to come with it. Either way, is this "the ultimate challenge"?

    Floyd should come out of hiding and put an end to this.

    Ya, his career is so bad that he's guaranteed eight figure paydays every time he fights.

    We'll see about that next time if it's not Pac
