    Lol just because YOU believe it's soley Floyd's fault, it doesn't make it true man. People rationalize Pac refusing to test. Just like people rationalize Floyd demanding it. If you think your rationalizations are any better than anyone else's, then you're just not looking at both sides.

    Floyd never fought anyone ranked below the top 3 in the division and/or top 10 in the world at the time..other than the tune up with Mitchell.

    Floyd asked for drug tests because he didnt want to get cheated. Look how many cheated against Oscar when he was at the top. It's the same reason manny asked for catchweights fights and overweight penalties- didn't want to be disadvantaged.

    :deal this. when it's all said and done. mother****ers arent going to get all technical. he will remember as an ATG who fought great fighters and remained unbeaten.

    but he does need the Pacquiao fight to complete his legacy.

    Floyd fought higher ranked fighters at 147 and 154 at the time they were ranked. So then Manny must not look good. Margarito did not do anything at 150 (lol not 154) for him to have any claim to a belt. Cotto did more. Manny is afraid of Cotto at 154 as he turned him down like the scared fighter he was.

    lol Manny vs JMM 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 coming in the next few years..get a Bradley rematch and rubber match probably

    Seriously though, how can people attack and degrade the desire for an athlete to require additional testing of himself and his peers? If you do, you are an utterly useless fool whose agenda is so overwhelming that I would go so far as to say that you are either an unintelligent and/or worthless human.

    Yeah, he backpedaled and ran so much in the Genaro, Manfredy, Corrales, Chavez, Ndou, Gatti, Judah, Hatton, Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto fights.

    As I recall, Hatton had a nice shiner after his fight with Paulie. He got touched, luckily for him Paulie is feather fisted.

    And :lol::patsch to the last part in bold. You're reaching.

    I think he is great. I just wish he didn't take the money persona route, He could've surpassed ODLH as the 'peoples champion' being loved by many like the ATG's.

    The most skilled fighter of his generation by a mile yet who cherry picked his way through to get the names on his resume when it was convenient for him and not necessarily when they were at their best also as someone that happily avoided others

    I think he has cheated himself ultimately
