    We both agree on something, I was under the impression pac agreed to the testing but without a cut off date now they are saying 7 days out from the fight, now that isnt so random is it?

    Right, Pac's advisor stated on national tv they offered 7 days. If you're clean, why all this haggling over it?

    If Floyd fought Margo it would look just like the Floyd vs Diego Coralles fight minus the knockdowns!! Or he might knock Margo down as well!

    I don't see Margarito winning, but I honestly would not mind seeing him beat the crap out of Dapidran.

    :lol:

    Then proceeded to beat the brakes off of Mosley.

    In case you didn't know? In boxing you actually get hit.

    He could have just sat out which he would. And I still don't see how he could have been forced to fight Mosley. If that were true, he would be forced to fight Dapidran whether or not they agreed to testing.

    Yeah, exactly, he was forced to fight someone who presented a challenge finally. He had all the time in the world to make the fight after he beat marquez and mosley called him out.

    No idea. Its a chess game that would beat him IMO.
    I really would have loved to see a PBF-Marquez fight in which both fighters were at their peak weights. At 130 i think it would have been one hell of a fight.

    Another guy who adjusts very well is Martinez. That is the only guy around his weight that can beat him IMO. And its funny someone mentions Pac as an example of a fighter that would beat PBF based on adjustments. The guy makes no adjustements. He just blazes his opponents.

    Marquez would have beat floyd back then.
    He was kinda smart but he fought more so off agression back then.
