    Lot of pro fighter started their career at 16 and at lower weight but still were not able to duplicate what Pac did.
    Most fighter moving up in weight, especially from the smaller weight do so on the merits of skill, Pac has moved up and dominated bigger fighter on physical attributes alone.

    Again even if pac fought at 134 for the diaz fight and rehydrated to 147 it does not explain the drastic change in physical strength, speed, and endurance.

    Shane is more then like one of the strongest and fastest guys at 135 to move up to welter weight, but even he lost some of his speed and power in the jump. Pac lost nothing!

    even if you hold on to the argument that Pac started his career at 16, it still does not explain that Pac at 24 was a Bantamweight 115 ! So how is it that a full grown man at 24 a 115lb continues to grow muscular as well skeletal wise? 32lb of lean muscle with no effects on his speed, strength and power.

    Not saying that he took ped, but their are some things about pac that needs some explanation.

    Lance Armstrong was tested year round and it took years to catch them. At the end of the day, you can take whatever you want and see it as proof of wrongdoing. It doesn't really mean much though without anything concrete to back it up.

    I know the story pretty well. Mayweather never offered 21 days. That's flat out false. Pacquiao wanted a 30 day window and moved it to 24 days after video surfaced of him getting blood taken 24 days before the Hatton fight without incident. Mayweather's side eventually relented to 14 days. Pacquiao's side rejected it and Arum went as far as to say Mayweather refused to compromise, an assertion that was contradicted by the arbiter.

    The fact of the matter is, Pacquiao rejected Mayweather's demand of random blood and urine testing. Asking to preset the amount of times you can be blood tested and requesting cutoff days is not random. I don't know why Pacquiao did all of this, but I do feel that's a primary reason that people started questioning him.

    Wasn't that dramatical to allude to somethin'...knowin' you ain't really interested of the fight!!!...MP's entourage had to stop at some point knowing team MW was gonna demand more just to rip the negotiations...Wasn't this what the Senior had said this year that they can now fight because it's the right time... alluding to the point that there never was any real intention of fighting MP in 2009...

    I would think the majority of top athletes are using PEDs. If you don't think so, you're naive.

    I'm not too surprised that this fight hasn't had much promotion.

    I don't know if you guys realize this, but boxing as a whole is a niche sport right now.

    Will Mayweather throw in the towel or will he take a SERIOUS beating???

    We all know Mayweather said this, and we know he'll have to make a choice.

    Absorb a SERIOUS beating or throw in the towel.

    What will he do???
