Do we need anymore proof that Manny was scared of fighting Floyd?

    uh.. excuse me but i never said Manny is a genius

    if you can just read clearly
    i said Pac punches up and down from weird angles
    Dela Hoya punched floyd but exclusively body blows, no up and down combinations from angles

    :happy

    Exactly...in order for him to hit Floyd with those "weird angled punches" he's going to have to become a ring genius.

    Delahoya put his head down and started swinging like a little girl play fighting with her dad SMH!

    What you fail to realize is that Pac has short arms and PBF has the reach advantage. Pac will have to lunge in against a master counter puncher who knows how to control the distance, it will be suicide. Especially when Pac already comes in off balanced with his head down anyway. A technician like PBF will have a field day with that and will counter him to hell and back.:deal

    Pac doesn't need to be a genius to do that because he already has the ability to punch at all angles with speed

    i won't call Pac a genius, he's more of a hard worker type.

    Floyd has the reach advantage.

    and so did a lot of Pac's previous opponents.

    Pac has the chance to close the distance against Floyd because of his foot speed, he can come in/out very fast.

    Pac has never faced an athlete as good as him nor with as fast as hands as him before. Not only that he's never faced a slick defensive fighter before. Pac will be shocked because PBF will show him looks he has never seen before and he will be befuddled by them. Also while Pac has fast feet there's nothing complicated about it. He doesn't cut off the ring, he doesn't work behind a jab, he comes in and out which is easy to time and beat for a ring genius like PBF. If you think that basic attack will work against the best and smartest fighter and best defensive fighter in the game you obviously haven't seen much of PBF. Who has shown the ability to adjust to all styles having a plan A, B, C and D we can't say the same about Pac who is way more one dimensional and can really only fight one way, going to war. PBF won't fight Pac's fight he'll box his soxs off and skate to a wide UD win and after the fight people like me will be here saying we told you so.:deal

    An even playing field is there....just as it was there for 40 previous fights....yet he feels the need to not only demand extra testing...Olympic style testing but went as far as accusing Manny of doping.

    You highlighted "Tell me why Floyd's reasons are not valid reasons to have blood testing...:think" and yet you don't answer the question.

    Why are Floyd's reasons for wanting the blood test invalid?

    What's one standard blood test for a pre-fight physical? That's not the same thing as an unknown number of random blood tests until a cutoff date.

    If he really takes 2-3 days to recover from a blood test, how effective would training be if they came every 3-4 days?

    He took a pre-fight physical which included a blood test 20 days out, 4 days sooner than their proposed cutoff for Floyd, so technically that means he's scared of Floyd? Sound logic.

    Overcomplicating things don't help either bro....which is what most do when trying to avoid a situation without having to come out and say the words.

    PAC didn't make any unprecedented demands....FLoyd did. The Weight requirement was a jab at Floyd in response to Floyd ridicoulous demands for Olympic testing. But at least PAC had a legit reason for the weight requirement demands...Floyd missed weight...a contracted weight requirement in his previous fight...and Floyd made no efforts to follow through. Now no one thinks floyd won't make 147. That shouldn't be a problem but Floyd asking for his demands are based on NOTHING>:smoke

    The answer is there. But I'm sure you wouldn't want to acknowledge it b/c it doesn't meet your stance on the issue. I can only lead a horse to water...I can't make him drink.:good

    You do know that they have Roach talking about the massive amount of work he put in at the gym the day AFTER this blood test right? :think

    i agree that Pac hasn't fought a fighter like Floyd before, a defensive genius indeed. and i think Floyd has a big chance of doing what you just said, winning a UD

    but Floyd also hasn't faced anyone like Pac before. :deal
