    I personally didn't take Floyd seniors comments to seriously in the beginning. It wasn't until all the crazy excuses came out of the Pac camp that I thought just possibly something was going

    you know, before he can counter that, Floyd "Vacation" Mayweather Jr. has to get in the ring with him.
     
  4. "If Pacquiao doesn't agree to the stipulation, then it looks like he's trying to cheat. Pacquiao has never tested positive for any banned substance, but the atmosphere in sports these days is that every athlete is under suspicion of cheating until proven otherwise."
    Especially when theyre performing like Manny Pacquiao is. Why shouldnt the public suspect him of something? A lot of top athletes have tested positive for something in recent years. It's only natural that people would suspect him of something. If anything he should take it as a compliment and take the tests... since he has nothing to hide.

    We'd have had a fight already if it weren't for Manny and his ridiculous avoidance of drug testing.

    Very interesting development. It seems some sort of whispers are making their way around the sport. News travels.

    Hey....I think the wrap was BS myself but that was the stigma he carried as a WW. The win over DLH was one of his best! And it was a very close compeitive fight at 154 where that was DLH's weight. So he gets major props for that in my book.

    I didn't think Floyd was ever scared of Shane....I just thought MONEY was the deciding factor in NOT facing Shane given Manny brought in a lot more.

    Obviously Floyd Sr and Jr came up with the allegations after the Cotto fight which set up the demands for the Olympic style testing. I just don't think there are any solid or rational reasons to make the accusations nor to demand testing on Manny after all the talk about Manny before.

    But Manny negotiated anyway and gave Floyd a 50/50 split which wasn't what floyd was willing to negotiate in rd 2 of this drama. He wanted 60/40 which would have been the reaons why he wasn't going to fight PAC but instead used the "vacation" as his excuse.

    Manny doesn't look guilty by the majority. The VAST Majority feel Floyd is simply ducking Manny for obvious reasons. There are some who do think PAC is on something....hell....there are people who think Floyd is on something too. But the majority see what is pretty Clear..... Floyd found a way out of the fight and used the Allegations as a way to kill the fight.....well...until manny agreed to everything then Floyd used "VACATION".

    If Floyd never made allegations that contradicted his previous comments about Manny there would have been no foundation for demanding Blood tests. And the fight would have already been history. But Floyd and company laid early ground work for the olympic style testing with the allegations he helped spread which ultimately killed this fight....

    Floyd agreed to the Glove size it wasn't PAC's demand bro. It was a mutual agreement between the two. NOT just one side.

    If Floyd killed the fight on the STUPID weight penalty he would have just been better off saying he was "SCARED". That request was a ****in jab at Floyd b/c of his allegations and demands. Floyd couldn't use that **** to duck the fight....he had to have something more creative and that he did.

    Unfortunately for your comment I've never called Floyd a runner. I know boxing....sure he's cautious...and defensive minded but he's incorporating a high level of skill when he is on offense. But Sr and Jr respect the "RISK" Manny presents as a fighter. I honestly don't believe they actually think Manny is any dirtier than they are....but it bought them a way out even though it's been pretty much dismissed for what it looks like...which is a DUCK. And Floyd isn't one to DUCK in my opinion....but I gotta call it like I See it.

    Why? Because mayweather said so? Mayweather is not boxing. You really believe he's trying to clean up the sport? If so, how come I don't see him making headlines demanding other boxers to go through what he wants done to clean up the sport? I don't see him trying to implement it to other fights. I don't see where he wants this to be standard protocol in boxing. He's on vacation isn't he?

    *****s will try to justify the drug testing and Floyd has been exposed as a coward for demanding extra drug tests to prevent the Pac vs Floyd from happening. Why do you think he's trying to talk to Don King? He wants none of Pac and *****s are really making Floyd look bad.

    Alright, so in (1) you come right out and point out that "Mayweather is not boxing" then turn around and suggest he's at fault for not "implementing it (OSDT) to other fights". If Mayweather doesn't control boxing, it's unclear how he's going to just walk in and implement testing in fights he's not taking part in.

    Floyd's campaign to rid the sport of cheating through stricter blood testing has been a beacon of light. Others are flocking to that light and in time perhaps we'll be blessed with a sport where the best man actually does win the fight, with no help with advantages others don't have. A sport where hard work gets rewarded. Whether you agree with his reasons, it'd be hard to deny that what he is doing is a step in the right direction.

    Boxing needs stricter blood testing and I don't care whose idea it is to push it.

    LMAO at *****spindoctors. Still trying to deny that Floyd already took a **** on his fans and the *****s are still denying that fact.

    Maybe you need to apply at Mayweather inc. in vegas for a job as a PR guy. Ooops.. Nevermind. It got closed already coz FLoyd didn't pay his rent. LOL

    Cotto was not selected because no one wants to see him try to break Usains track record again.
