Bloodworth thinks Paq used testing as an excuse to duck Floyd

who created the 10 million dollar per pound weight penalty again? floyd has never failed to make 147 has he? manny, failed to make weight twice in his career right?

 

Floyd has failed to make catch weights but not 147lbs...

 

Good thing he's only had two!

 

U don't even believe this lol

 

I... don't know what you are trying to say here.

Very few people other than industry men themselves find PED use in sports to be acceptable or desired. Any effort to rid them or show they are not in use is a positive one.

 

****......all but the 3rd fight were exciting. The 4th fight had everything.....knockdowns and a come from behind victory by way of an ultra dramatic KO to put a stamp on the rivalry! Boring? You kids drive a hard bargain.:-(

 

Calm down kid..... You act as if there aren't layers to the sports/entertainment business? Of course there's nobility in business and sports....but that's not to say that's all there is. Time and time again you read, watch or hear about the other side of the ethical business practices. You can make money both ways but chances are if you aren't using nobility as a moral compass in sports, entertainment and/or business then the outcome is bleak.

 

I'll never forget Roger Bloodworth in Ft Worth Tx many years back. He was with a fighter Eddie Hopson who was unbeaten & was supposed to be the fastest boxer at the time. Hopson was supposed to fight Troy Dorsey but Troy separated a rib & had to back out. They brought in a Mexican clubfighter Angel Aldama as a sacrificial lamb for Hopson.
to beat on. I was sat next to Troy at ringside & Hopson wanted to make a statement & KO Aldama. He got more & more frustrated as he pounded on Aldama but couldn't put him away. He totally lost it when Aldama laughed at him. He butted , hit low, committed about every foul imaginable. I yelled up to ref Jerry McKenzie to " DQ that spoiled brat he's no future champion." Bloodworth took offence at this & started in on me Lou Duva yelled " Shut up Roger the man's right in what he says ' Roger shut up like a clam. Hopson was the classic hype job they got him a title fight he beat some unknown guy On his first defence he met a decent boxer got his clock cleaned & quit

 

You don't have to "take Floyd's side" to acknowledge the fact that Pacquiao did use testing as an excuse to duck this fight. That's a false dilemma. I don't care how much you like or dislike either of them, the fact is Pacquiao went from "just not on the day of the fight" to "even a 14 day cutoff is unacceptable and I've already signed to fight Clottey next".

 

never heard Pac refer to himself as a "rich coward" :rofl:hi:

 

Yea......all that said....if Floyd really wanted to make the fight it would have happened already. The whole "negotiations" from jump were not how most negotiations go.

For Floyd to earnestly want to make the biggest fight in the history of sports his approach to working together with Manny told a completely different story.

Floyd made false accusations about Pac using PEDs and demanded extra testing based on allegations that his S&C coach was supplying the goods.

that's not conducive of a positive outcome because right off the bat you are creating a hostile environment to attempt "negotiations".

Even if anyone still believes Floyd really wanted to fight Pac and his insults, racial slurs and accusations, seeing Floyd sign the guy he accused of being Manny's supplier that sparked the whole movement to clean up boxing has to create critical thinking even if at a very low level.

Bottom line.......if Floyd wants the fight it will be made. If he doesn't......it won't be any different from what we got all the way back in 2009.

 

:| "Floyd wasn't nice to him" :|

He walked away from the fight and used testing as his excuse to do so. Case closed. :deal

 

I never heard Pacquiao say anything when Mosley showed up at the Wild Card twice or when Martinez called him out repeatedly, even offering to come down to 150 to give him a beating. :nono

 

awww it's ok :yep

"rich coward" still takes the cake


truly TBE :rofl:rofl:rofl
