    I wouldn't be surprised if he was member here with one of the anti-Floyd screennames.

    This is what Floyd does best. Though he did the same with Mosley until he inadvertently backed himself into a corner and was forced to fight him. It took a natural disaster, but it got made. If he beats Mosley, Pac will be the only fight fans will be demanding for Floyd, so he really can't afford to settle for anything less. He needs to fight Pac or STFU and run off back into retirement with his tail between his legs.

    Haters cut their own brake lines just before driving. They can't stop if they try. Why write a novel about someone you don't like. Only haters are capable. What a joke!

    It doesn't even matter.

    The avg idiot will side with mayweather because they like added drama and stupid gossip.

    Intelligent people require evidence and proof for any claim.
    Sorry if you think floyd is a legit sport cleaner-upper, but you're basically admitting you're a moron.

    I don't get it. Floyd talking about pacquiao in Superbowl and NBA-All Star only gives pacquiao free publicity. whether its positive or negative, publicity is publicity and it will help pac sell his fight.

    Pacman flat out refused to fight Shane Mosely. On the heels of his defeat at the hands of Mayweather, the biggest fight for Pacman would have been a third fight with Marquez which Pacman also flat out refused. If he is so much better than Mayweather, the best way to prove it would have been to step up and KO Marquez. Pacman is not sure he can beat Marquez, knows he can't beat Mosely, and in the words of Freddie Roach, pacman would have to fight a perfect fight to beat Mayweather. its funny how everyone thinks the drug test request was so ridiculous but no one speaks about the 10 million dollars for each pound if floyd came in over weight (that floyd agreed to) as being utterly ridiculous. Floyd agreed to every demand made of him, and a simple bood test was his only request and that holds up the fight. wow ! Its ok to like a fighter, or even to prefer one over the other, but fair is fair. I like Paquiao too but he is ducking and dodging and hand picking his dance partners just like anyone else. He can and has been beat by fighters with half the skills of Mayweather. He is a good fighter, but until he beats a truely great fighter in his prime (prime being the key word) he is just another good fighter.

    lol, wait, i remember watching a scene like this in a movie! A knight's tale, Adhemar & Fence is talking about how to beat the hero.

    It goes like these:

    PBF: And how would you beat him?
    Roger & Floyd Sr.: With a lie. While he's unaware. But on the ring, with a pair of gloves? That man is unbeatable.

    I am with Pac on this whole fight debacle, I think Mayweather pussied out, but this article was ridiculously biased.

    Keith, you first need to learn the meaning of bias. This is an editorial piece, which means it is from a point of view. The author has an opinion and is stating it. Bias in the context that you are accusing him of, is when an opinion is completely unsubstantiated by the facts. That isn't the case here, because what is being debated is subjective. You either believe the tests are a reasonable request or you don't. There aren't enough facts one way or the other to determine if "Reasonable" is something that could be substantiated in either direction. But one thing is very clear, PBF believes Manny looks so good that he must be using something. And that does bring into question his confidence in winning.
