    I honestly and very highly doubt that if Floyd said NO to Pac's catchweight penalty demands and that was the reason for the fight being cancelled, that it would be PAC who was the one looking to cancel the fight and duck it......

    We don't really know why Floyd asked for the drug testing, but you make a good point. Why does it seem almost impossible for people to look at both sides of this issue?

    The truth is, they don't want to. That's why everything bad the media says about Mayweather is right, but everything bad said about Pacquiao is wrong. SMH

    of which the last two beat Manny Pacquiao..... Just saying... Floyd has simply used this testing as a valid way to duck the biggest threat he had.

    Mayweather fans can argue until they are blue in the face, But history will not forgive Floyd for avoiding this fight... This fight could have done great things for the sport... yet Floyd prevented it from happening, history will not be kind to him.

    Well of course fanboys will never let facts get in the way of their argument but those that understand negotiations will know that both were weary and both didn't wanna get cheated which is why they made odd demands.

    Not really. As we found out, those state tests get beat... Floyd's testing, or "WADA" style does not.

    Don't try to hard.

    Nothin about that suggests much of anything. He suggests that the testing was used for something it wasn't. Floyd has kept true to the testing since day one and no source exists to back that Floyd does not believe in the testing. Floyd isn't backing off this demand for no amount on the split.

    How did Floyd not make the fight? He offered Manny 40 million which is something he can't make anywhere else. Why should Manny get 50/50? Floyd would make pennies more if he took 50/50 while Manny would be guarantee'd his career high payday by almost double...not a fair deal at all. Floyd does more revenue and higher ppv #'s plus gets more money per fight as he is the bigger draw as the numbers support.

    I think history will be more kind to him than the current perceptions. People will forget that most of his biggest fights either didn't happen, or happened years after they should have. The names will stand out, but the circumstances will be forgotten.

    avoided margarito. avoided cotto when he was undefeated and prime. avoided pacquiao when he was prime. fought ortiz instead when he said that he wants the martinez-williams winner.

    4 fights in the last 5 years.

    he will be remembered also for his long vacations and losing his urge whenever there are threats.
