    Floyd Mayweather Sr “My son will never fight Manny Pacquiao”



    This content is protected
    Floyd Mayweather Sr has never been short of a word and his latest accusation is just ridicules. Mayweather Sr told CBS radio during a recent interview he feels Manny Pacquiao has had sufficient time to clean his body of performance enhancing drugs.
    “Why the sudden change of mind?” asked Mayweather Sr, “Pacquiao walked away from the opportunity to face my son in March, so why has he had a sudden change of mind and is now agreeing to all forms of testing”.
    “Why do you think that is?
    You tell me why?”
    Mayweather asked the interviewer, when no response was forthcoming Mayweather Sr went on to say “Six months have passed, sufficient time to clear your body of any illegal substance, that’s why.
    The claim is Ironic, Mayweather Sr was asked, If Pacquiao was using (which I doubt) one thing is for sure if he’s agreeing to Floyd request for Olympic style testing surly this will leave no questions and both camps will know for sure neither man is on any performance enhancing drugs.
    One writer from the examiner.com may have hit the nail on the head. Roger Allen suggested Manny Pacquiao might have been looking ahead to the Philippines elections, and a defeat against Mayweather could have severely affected his voting numbers, this might answer the question with regards to the sudden change of mind.
    Listen, Said Mayweather Sr, “let me educate you on something, if your body has been receiving substances to improve your athletic ability over a long period of time then you stop, your body may be clean but you have taken your body to a place it otherwise would not have been, Just because you have stopped taking, does not mean your body is no longer benefiting from the years of use”.
    Now I’m no nutritionist or conditioning coach, but Daddy Mayweather’s comments did make sense to the uneducated among us, it does seem a realistic possibility that an individual can still harvest the benefits from years of use, even when stopped. But again I must stress this assumption is all based on whether Manny Pacquiao is or has ever used any kind of performance enhancers, which I doubt.
    Floyd Mayweather Jr himself stated “I gave Pacquiao a chance, up to 14 days from the fight. But my new terms are all the way up to the fight. They can come get us whenever, all the way up to the fight, random drug test. That’s what it is,” Mayweather was quoted as saying.
    Mayweather Jr has made clear that the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) will decide when the testing is carried out. All testing should be random up to the day of the fight, “I fail to realise the problem as both of us will be subject to these rules”.
    Mayweather Sr, was asked about his recent statement of having reservations regarding his son fighting a southpaw. “It does not matter what stance Pacquiao fights, my son will never fight him”.

    The accumilation of the substance within his body has given him many benefits. I think top rank made pacquiao take roids. i know something happened but i cant describe it. floyd left bob arum and became extremely successful perhaps this is why pacquiao was introduced with the help of steroids. But they still know he's win anyway with or without roids thats why the march fight was declined

    did anyone notice shane mosley ask nazim to call the towel against mayweather in 8th i think. just noticed it after watching it again.

    sad but true,this fight wont happen.
     
  4. This is my argument against letting Brock Lesnar fight in the UFC. He might not be juicing now, but his huge frame is the result of previous steroid use. He's got an unfair advantage over his opponents who have never juiced before.

    no surprise here. senior was the architect of put an A-side meth blame on pac after he saw what pac did to his pupil hatton and cotto and for his son to follow it up with a blood test request to further rub salt to injury. it just goes to show how petrified the mayweathers are with pac especially the elder one.

    ******. How about learning how to use proper exercise regimen in order to achieve muscle instead of thinking that just by injecting PEDS in your system, that's the only time you grow muscles.

    Also, learn how proper nutrition works. Just because pacquiao came from a third world country that doesn't mean he cannot gain muslce mass when properly trained.

    If we are going to use your logic, Floyd has been juicing since 135. Now shut the **** up and hit the books.

    His comments are not reasonable. First of all... he is doing nothing but slinging bull**** to imply that Manny was ever on steroids to begin with. No proof at all.

    Second... coming off of steroids definitely DOES negatively effect your body and performance level. You may be able to work your ass off to keep the same body look... but you sure as hell won't have the same recovery time, stamina, endurance, ect....

    Pac was never on performance enhancing drugs to begin with and I honestly don't even believe that the Mayweather believe the nonsense. It's a way out, simple as that. Didn't you ever notice how BEFORE this whole Pac/Mayweather thing started... Floyd was calling out Mosley for a fight... AFTER Mosley had admitted to taking steroids? How come Floyd didn't have any problem with fighting an actual PROVEN steroid user then? How come he didn't demand Olympic Style drug testing at that point?

    It's real simple... Floyd uses these tactics to try and gain a mental edge over his opponent. If he doesn't think that it's working, or that he is gaining a mental edge off of it... then he won't fight. FFS, if Mayweather doesn't feel safe enough getting into the ring against Pac with Olympic Style drug testing all the way up until 14 days from the fight, and then in the locker room directly after the fight... I don't know what to tell him. No other fighter in history has needed this much bull**** just to get into the ring.

    i hope floyd fights him....to shut everyone up about it.....but the reason the fight could end up not happening is because at this point floyd cant afford to go back on his word like pac and his team has done.....they change their stance daily and get little to no ridicule for it....Floyd hasn't changed a thing he has said except that now post shane he took away the 14 day cut off....and look at all the **** he gets

    Given that Floyd eventually fought Mosley when he was cornered (Berto taking off), I'm still hoping that he is not really scared of anyone. The Mosley win might have actually boosted his confidence level.

    Listening to Floyd Sr's multiple interviews, one can really see that he is terrified of Pac. I believe his fear is real. In his mind, the reason for that is steroids, that's why they are so adamant about testing. I just hope that he doesn't project his fear to his son because if that happens, that will put more doubt on Junior's mind and that will put more obstacle to the fight.

    Mayweather Sr is overly scared and critical of everything. He makes no decisions in opponents and b/c he has been consistent in saying he dont want Floyd fighting southpaws since day 1. I mean literally you can quote him saying this before pacaroid ever existed. But that being said, that never stopped Floyd from fighting southpaws in his career..lol But its clear as Pac not going up against counter punchers after Marquez.. And Roach on video ducking Mosley b/c he is too good. So if you are going to eat it up, eat all that **** up and STFU.
