    He is so great that the great Floyd Mayweather Jr. requires him to do the additional blood tests.

    :lol: that's just to insure both fighters don't cheat.
    Pac's catchweights are meant to take a little something away from his opponents

    :lol::lol::lol:

    don't cheat my ass, what it was really is bacause your hero, lil floyd the classless coward is afraid to face Pac.

    No wonder your hero lil floyd, the classless coward shortchanges JMM on agreed weight to take a little something from his opponent despite the fight heavily stacked in his favor. :patsch

    Funny, The latter statement conflicts with the reasoning to why Pac must be put through that testing(although he already agreed coming from his own mouth).

    He fights in catchweights, Fights over the hill fighters, cherry picks, one dimensional and "He might be in PEDS" doesn't add up to me.

    So if Marquez beats Pacquiao in November he wouldn't deserve Pac's belt? :huh

    I don't feel that the problem with Hoya and Cotto was that they went down to 145 at weigh in. There problem was that they re-hydrated themselves to 147 and 150 on fight night.

    The problem with Margo was more so that they were claiming a 8th world title against a non ranked non title holding middle weight who got unloaded on by Mosley after trying to cheat and was suspended from the sport for 2yrs only to look like crap in his come back fight to go along with a catch weight of 150. It would have been better if he got like 2 tune ups then beat someone decent at 154 to earn a belt first.

    But still at the end of the day, not anyone can accomplish what Pac did even with the asterisks.

    I don't think so. Just because Manny can weigh lower and be champ, does not mean that it should be at 144 or any weight below 147. However, if they agreed on the 147 pound weight, if both guys came in under the weight I would buy that guy winning the belt in that situation if both were allowed to weigh more. But having an agreed upon weight right there tells me it should not be for the title.

    no I said Pacquiao can beat these guys anyways, but he uses catchweights sometimes to take a little something away from them.

    I never said he was on drugs, but Floyd just wants to make sure it's a clean fight. Nothing wrong with that

    not necessarily add a little something, but just keep from taking something from himself
