Charlie, PAc agreed to the testing, and backed out. Shanen agreed to the testing and now both he and Floyd are setting a precedent for testing in future fights. And for the record, Floyd beat JMM much easier than PAc did, if PAc ever beat JMM.
The sport doesn't survive without PPV numbers brain child. Boxing is a business. People are in business to make money. If there is no money there is not business. Respect the facts of the situation and know that FMJ has done a lot for the boxing world.
Cotto said he had absolutely no problem with 145, and after the fight didn't even say 1 word about the weight. Take a look at the forum and the boxing news from pre-berto pull out. I don't need to argue the point, it's already well known to anyone who pays attention to the sport.
C'mon I have a hard time believing that you think that Mosley is trying to throw the fight. Shane is his own man. And even if you did believe this, should Mosley win; a super fight with Manny would do pretty well. So he has every incentive to win. And stop calling Floyd "Void" Its no longer funny (I personally never thought it was to begin with). The point is he's fighting Mosley a top fighter at WW. What more could you want from the guy?
I've always respected his skills and have enjoyed watching him fight. props to him for taking a serious challenge, its about God Damned time. All of that said, the guy is still a dickhead. Yeah he may play it to sell fights, and guess what, it worked, I think the guy is a total tool.
**** outta here! years of hating on the kid b/c he whipped you out in sparring, all while talkin mad **** to you and now you wanna be a fan. Beat it you simple ass #@&&*..
dude you don't even know him ....... i am happy he stepped up... it isn't like he won the fight and then i am calling myself a fan he could vary well get ko'd but still respect must be given
I am a FLOYD fan now ... yup AT1 is a fan of PBF So make a thread saying you respect him. Now you a fan:bart Shits disgusting B.
Oh yeah, you don't KNOW him either. Catching a beating at Top Rank gym don't make y'all family. You dealt with him b/c of the biz. That man ain't your friend.
funny we are in fact we are cool and i mite go out and spar with him for this fight because i have boxed the both of them who have you boxed agian? you seem to know so much about me
Ok......Why make these kinds of demands in the first place?:think Remember Floyd has always held a firm stance that PAC really isn't as good as people think....and that he'd outclass and dominate PAC anytime they would meet. He even went on to say all PAC had to do was say his name and he'd make the fight. INstead what happened? Floyd started saying PAC was on roids and PEDs ect....then set the stage to request his demands for random blood testing...which FLOYD has NEVER EVER requested for previous opponents. And why would Floyd request these kinds of demands and why would he spread accusations about PAC being on anything? After all...Floyd is that much better than PAC...words comming from his own mouth. Why even risk the chance at loosing at $40 Million payday against a EASY opponent who doesn't present any risks as he stated in the past?:huh Why not take the fight.....beat the easy foe in Manny and make out with his easiest payday and BIGGEST legacy builiding win in his entire career....to top everything off, beat a guy who was cheating? If Floyd really beleives manny is on something? To me it makes NO SENSE at all and I feel Floyd found a way out of the fight. and for the record.....PAC beat DLH and Hatton FAR easier than Floyd and in a far more impressive fashion than Floyd did. The precedent for new regulations is GREAT! And that is ONE thing that was positive with Floyd spreading these false allegations....but why should PAC give in to what Floyd wants who was the source of runiing PAC's Rep without any proof, facts or validity to support his accusations? It's like giving Floyd a payday for shitting on his name. I wouldn't do it unless it was for $40 Million!
fighting the best in the division you have been a part of for 5 years is the pinnacle? dude, get off the floyds girlfriend impersonation. i am trying to be fair and not cheat floyd of the credit he deserves for finally stepping up after all this time. why dont you try and be fair and admit that this is in no way characteristic of the floyd we all know and hate. wheter it is true or not, his history and character do suggest that he was forced by an act of god into this fight. actually, come to think about it, im giving floyd too much credit for something he hasnt even done yet.
With Manny, not taking the blood test...It did him more bad than good...People keep on screaming that Manny didnt want to take the test to give in to Floyd demands, but its not like Floyd didnt agree to all of Manny's demands...Its called compromising...so why couldnt Manny take the test that Mayweather asked for...Its not like Floyd created this special drug test for Manny...They used this in the olympics...if I'm not mistaked...Tyson inquired that Holyfield take one! So its not like its the first time that these type of tests have not been asked before in the past! Yes, these steriods allegations came from out of the woodworks...but that still doesnt erase the fact that Manny could have cleared his name if he just simply taken the test. If Floyd felt the need to ask for a more stern test then he has every reason to do so...True, he hasnt asked for this before, but yet there hasnt been any steriod allegation surrounding his opponents as well...So whats wrong with asking for one to ensure you're fighting a clean fighter????? I'm not really understanding that arguement my man! People seem to want to shift blame but its Manny who pulled out of the fight...Floyd even tried to COMPROMISE with Manny...Manny and his team have gave many of outlandish reasons on why they didnt want to be tested...My only problem is...if you didnt wanted to be tested from the start...dont make up phony lies and BS stories on how you're scared of needles or, giving blood makes you weak, ect. ect! Also lets not forget all of the trash Freddie Roach has said about Floyd...Floyd knows Manny is a tough fight, he always talks **** before a fight...So I dont see why so many are acting surprised...Remember what Roach said about Floyd...." He's soft and would be the easiest fight out there" I dont see to many making a big fuss about that...Its nothing more than you're usual trash talk before fight! Happens all of the time! Remember Floyd trashed the **** out of Ricky to only turn around to give him props after he defeated him!:good We can look at this from a flip side as well...If Manny is clean...why not take the test...Beat the living **** out of Floyd jr. and make an easy 40 mil!:good
