    true. but pac didnt want the fight. even floyd called pac out and said how come pac was asked 3 times would he fight mayweather after the cotto fight but wouldn't say yes.

    Logic? If Floyd was really supremely confident that Pacquiao is "easy work", then why even bring up blood tests at all? Conversely, if Pacquiao REALLY wanted it, he'd have taken a blood test on the spot & would've released the results to the media.

    If anyone wants to fight anyone else, that person would *logically* look to remove barriers from the fight occuring, not add complications to it. & yes, in the case of May vs Pac, that applies to both of them, & all the other hot trash-spewing windbags in both of their entourages.

    Both sides played roles. Anyone pointing 100% of the blame at one person/faction is just following a transparent agenda...

    well compared to the previous posters comment "I think the real truth is floyd is a ducker thats why he made the drug test to get out of the fight.." the logic I was referring to made much more sense.

    Then of course Roach flip-flopped and changed his position. :patsch

    If these guys could stop contradicting themselves, perhaps we would have a fight on our hands.

    :good

    What's more is Pac's interview with Brian Kenny where Pac (after more excuses and lies) when asked if he wants the winner of Mayweather vs. Mosley, was silent for a second, and then went the old trainer route.

    If somebody insulted me, called me a cheater, a liar, insulted my people, and all that which Pac claims, I would

    From easy knockout to hard fought decision. :think Why does Roach keep changing his tune? Did something change in Manny's aresenal? Did his skill suddenly decline? :huh

    cause its not a TV show. Its real life. In real life, people change their mind all the time.

    Bottom line, Roach is known to speak his mind, even if it doesn't make his fighters look good.

    changing your mind does not make you an idiot, a liar, or a cheat.

    so are you saying that water or brain fluid is lost because of this trauma and concussion from punches and steroids help retain this brain fluid upon or after impact? can you give me a definitive or scientific study on this? or are you confusing this water retaining in the brain to edema which is one of the side-effects of using steroids?

    the only definitive study i saw using steroids to help in any brain or head activity is to help in tumors which would just reduce the swelling (http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/type/brain-tumour/treatment/steroid-treatment-for-brain-tumours). hardly relevant to something that would help someone absorb blows to the head.

    Amazing level of IQ in ESB!

    People read something and conclude exactly opposite to what the article is saying.

    My 3 year old son does it but he is 3.

    "The game plan has to be perfect" "You can't go straight in" to me is perfect clear statement from Freddy, who is the smarter guy Pac? I don't think so.

    Thats the key point. Pac been fighting dudes that love to engage up to recent. If Pac needed more time to prepare that is understandable. They should of said that up front. I mean March is a blink away. You cant rush a megafight. Of course pacwhores are going to get defensive but Roach is basically saying what everyone is saying on why Floyd has the style to beat Manny and not the other way around. This is boxing. This is not a knock on Pacman b/c Floyd would of not been able to stop Cotto.. I think he would of kicked his ass in the later rounds but early it would of been a close fight.

    Yep. Roach, the guy who typically is out there simply predicting a round Pacquiao will stop his opponents, has been vocal about how Pacquiao is facing hell in the slick boxing Mayweather. Roach never wanted a March fight.
