This serves as a public apology to Floyd Mayweather from one of his biggest critics. Floyd, you were right, and the "haters" [your term], like me, were wrong. We called you a coward for not fighting Manny, and I now see that we were wrong to equate your caution with cowardice. For it was you who demanded rigid blood testing from any opponent, and your mindset was never either appreciated, acknowledged, or even believed until we boxing fans/writers got to see the consequences of not demanding rigid testing on display, with the unplausibilty of how an aging fighter suddenly became such a heavy-handed superman, completely destroying an opponent he was never able to drop in his previous 36 rounds. You had the awareness and wisdom to protect yourself from such a savaging -in a way a certain trainer didnt' have for his fighter. I now appreciate you as a true student/scout of boxing, and somebody privy to the shady areas of the sport than we fans/writers will never be able to grasp. We were wrong to cast judgment on you without all the information. We were wrong to criticize you for your rigid testing expectations of Pacquiao. But as your biggest critic, your overly-cautious opponent selection leaves much to be desired. For you always avoid A-level fighters in their prime. Nuff said.

Sounds good but I know bull**** when I hear it, and that ( what you typed ) is straight up bull****. :yep
Too bad Floyd avoided Manny, he would have given Manny a boxing lesson no matter how much Manny was juiced up.
