    Complaining about it doesn't mean a torn rotator cuff let alone the 'significant tear' that the official medical verdict of Manny's were. Yet despite that, the main point is that he PBF still used his shoulder a lot, it looked fully utilised and as a side note far, far more than Pac did. Enough to not even suspect any problems. He just couldn't get the job done.
    Rematches in history have always favoured the pure boxer, and it wasn't with ease whatsoever but it was a clear victory.

    Err nobody was ever being tested before that. Floyd Sr was the first to bring up Pac being on roids after he KO'd his pupil in Hatton. Before that, everyone put the ODLH win as a fluke.

    Pac agreed to unlimited blood testing up to 21 days before the fight, unlimited urine testing (which has caught most fighters via vada much more than floyd sponsored USADA via blood) and immediate blood testing after the fight. Doesn't sound like a guy trying to cheat. Floyd just put a roadblock for no reason, if he went about his business of just fighting the guy like everyone did with each other there would be no issue.

    Floyd was caught with the IV that would only logically be used for doping. Thats fact. Unless you think he was dehydrated lmao. Usada tried to bury that shite, just as they did in the past. Floyd wanted testing because he had USADA in his pockets, he would get an edge because he can keep taking his drugs and he hopes to get Pac of his.

    Yeah. Shane was devastating at 135 and I think he'd have success in the first 4/5 rounds but Floyd would, as always, adjust and find a way to win.

    People asked why Shane stopped throwing his right-hand against Floyd aftter hurting him. It's simple - at first, Floyd made him miss and then he started countering. A few stiff counter-shots discouraged Shane from letting his hands go and, regardless of when they fought, I think that pattern would eventually play itself out.

    Now, you can argue that a younger Shane, if he caught Floyd, would be able to finish him early - but I think Floyd's chin would save him, even if his defence was breached.

    You've been losing these arguments for years, fool. Your mancrush cherry picked and ducked his way from 140 to 154 and everyone knows it. It's his legacy.

    Prime Mosley was at 135 and at that weight he was an absolute beast. I understand that Floyd was great at the weight as well but he definitely wasn't as defensively responsible and it's almost ridiculous to give Mayweather the edge in this fight. The Mayweather of that time, the one that struggled with Castillo, Chavez, and Corley should in no way be the favorite.

    Floyd was stumbling in round 2 two times when he got hit cleanly by Mosley. Didn't you see that?

    Everybody saw it, but people dismiss the the domination for the REST of the fight. That shot easily KTFO Margarito. Floyd didn't even go down! At the end of round 2, Shane knew he pissed off Floyd. It was all money from there.

    Back on topic, a prime Mosley without a doubt would be trouble for Floyd. I still think Floyd wins but not as dominant as he did against the old Mosley. That wasn't prime Floyd neither.

    Floyd always got troubles when he fought the fighter who was as fast as him. Mosley's hand speed and footwork at his prime were awful to anyone. Floyd would not even know where the punches came from.

    Can't see punches??? What kind of foolishness is this? PBF is arguably the greatest defensive fighter of all time. Mosley who has **** defense would have a lot more to worry about here than the other way around. Mosley had trouble with every elite boxer he faced. How many times have you seen PBF get hit with the same punch over and over other than a jab for the course of a fight?:deal: I mean did you even think before posting such none sense?

    This is nothing but speculation and sour grapes in fact he couldn't produce a urine sample so an IV was given. You don't like it because it ruins your hopes of PBF being on something and want an excuse for the boxing lesson PBf gave Pac so you can sleep better at night. He passed his drug test and was cleared by USADA and NSAC. PBF UD Pac still stands.:deal:

    PBF asking Pac to take the exact same test he was taking was fair. If you have nothing to hide you test period. You don't come up with excuses like needles and cut off dates. What made this so bad is that the same testing Pac didn't want for PBF he agreed to for his fight with Rios. Let that sink in. You will test for a crash dummy like Rios who he could beat getting right out of bed but won't test against for the biggest fight of this era and a career high payday to boot. Come on! Pac is full of **** Roach even stated they never wanted testing in a video I posted in this very thread but you'll chose to ignore it. They were the reason why the fight didn't happen sooner period.

    Shut your broke ass up ***** I guess you haven't seen the videos I posted here at my house my office at work or my cars? Will you do the same? Fake *****, get your money up before coming at me.

    You were exposed here for a flat out lie trying to promote your agenda. You're mad that the fighter you hate and picked against proved your dumbass wrong time and time and time again. I love the fact that haters like you never got to see PBF take an L let alone even humbled in the ring he beat most fighter's with ease made the most money of any boxer ever retired on top and the best fighter of this era and there's nothing you can do or say that will change it.

    Seriously, Loser. No one is interested in your crying or your attention whoring. It's sad. You keep on attacking me like I care about anything you say or your made up life. You are dirt under my fingernails. And your hero was cherry picker and ducker of the decade. Now it's late. So I'm sure we won't hear from you again until 9 am tomorrow after you've eaten you bologni sandwich and gotten back into the public library.
