    Also, Manny should have told Floyd to **** off from the jump instead of agreeing to test then turn around and come up with several excuses on why he shouldnt take the test!

    Its quite funny listening to these dudes come up with these scenerios when Manny himself agreed to take the test but later back down and come up with the most pathetic excuses!

    WHy didn't you answer? :huh Was aksing your opinion on the matter. So is that a NO, you don't think he's juicing?

    Where was this great insistance from you before Floyd Sr made the accusations?

    And why was the current standard of testing acceptable for you until Floyd Sr. brought up PEDs?

    But you are right, this test is a charade, from Team Mayweather to save face from ducking a fight.

    Pretty much. Just like when Floyd 'retired' to let the top WW's beat each other up in his absense.

    So what you're saying is that Floyd knew Manny would turn down the test when he asked for extra testing??:rofl You're pretty much calling Floyd a future teller.:lol:

    Me personally, they're both are to blame but your logic doesnt make any sense! I didnt know Floyd would think he could possibly get out of a fight with Manny if he asked for a simple blood test!

    Jesus . . . isn't it obvious?

    Only his blind nut suckers refuse to admit that the *** is cherry picking opponents . . . how many times does he have to retire and comeback?

    :lol::rofl

    First and foremost this viewpoint that Mayweather shouldn't ask Pac for drug testing because he never asked anyone else is flawed since no other fight that Mayweather has had in the past has been of this magnitude. What other fight has been called the fight which would define the best of this generation?

    Having blood test for both sides in a fight of this magnitude is logical looking at what is at stake. There should be more caution since this fight means more. Just like this upcoming super bowl of Packers vs Steelers. There should be extra precaution for steroid use since its the biggest game of the yr. It makes the most sense that since the stakes are so high people may give in to the pressure to win and look to get that edge in the next weeks. Truthfully there should be more caution during the whole playoffs.

    Secondly, technicians such as Mayweather admire technique not speed and power. Manny makes to many mistakes technique wise. While fans look at speed and power, a technician like Marquez and Mayweather look at technique. And I don't believe Mayweather respects Pac from a technical stand point.

    Yea cuz there was never an offer by Mayweather to fight Cotto and Margarito that Arum turned down because he wouldn't make enough money off it.

    Even if I were to humor you and believe that was true. That he retired to let them beat each other. Could you honestly say that he expected Margartio and Cotto to both becomes washed up by the time he came out of retirement? So what if they beat each other, should they not have still been fair game when he came out of retirement?

    Margarito and Cotto haven't accomplished 50% of what Mayweather has done in his career. Yet for some reason these guys are put on some type of pedistal.

    I dont think he's afraid of him, floyd at WW just picks his opponents and times very carefully and it looks like he doesnt look at pac as a good fight for him at the moment, unfortuntely for the boxing world and beyond

    But then again losing his urge to fight and his new vacation is baffling, maybe there is a tinge of not wanting to blow all he has done so far by facing a fast hardhitting southpaw, even though im sure floyd thinks he can beat pac, could it amazingly be a lack of confidence, amazing considering floyds front, but deep down whats he like??

    Oh yeah...that so called "offer" to fight Margarito who had a fight a week away already. :lol: You bought that **** huh?

    As for Cotto. Yeah, Arum turned that down when they were at 140, And rightfully. I didn't think a 23 YO Cotto was ready for Mayweather at that point. Nothing wrong there.

    But at 147 when Cotto matured some, much better fight for both.

    What kind of answer do you honestly expect from this. I can barely tell what you are sking here.

    Did Floyd intend for them to become washed up? Probably not. Still doesn't change the fact he left his division at it's hottest when Floyd was on top of the WW division, and boxing.

    And? I guess Floyd only fights guys of comparable accomplishment? If you don't think that, then what does it matter what they accomplished? They were the tops in the division.

    Pac should take the ped test, in return Floyd should do an IQ test, all results should then be published.

    To a certain extent, yes.

    He didnt ask 40 of his previous opponents for a drug test, yet without saying it, he basically said to everyone; "Boxing is a very dangerous sport, that man looks very dangerous and could seriously hurt me, he must be on drugs, he must be tested".

    OK, fair statement if Pac is in fact on drugs, but what if he isn't? It's the same fighter that Floyd assumed was on drugs because he looked so damm dangerous in the ring Floyd was literally risking his life walking into the same ring as him, much bigger risk than 40 of his previous opponents.

    Floyd is like a soldier equipped with advance and hightech weapon but the problem is the heart of the soldier. He can possibly beat Manny but he just can't BEAT OR OVERCOME HIS FEAR OF LOSING HIS O record.

    Well actually, its been dragged on for so long that both he & Pac as well as the sport they respresent looks like a laughing stock... people have lost interest so if that is the plan, its backfired brutally.

    I dont think he`s scared either but if I had Mayweather`s ability Id have handed Pacquiao his ass a long time ago.

    Whether or not you think Manny Paquiao is going to win or not is one thing, but the fact that there are more posters who actually think that Floyd Mayweather is afraid of Manny Pacquaio shows how little they know about boxing.

    Neither Floyd nor Manny are afraid of each other.

    What is happening however is the buildup of possibly the richest fight in history;

    Floyd's negotiation antics, Manny being afraid of needles, Rumors of a PED use, back and forth to the negotiation tables, the fight being scrapped and taking on other "safe" opponents to give the public a taste and show up one another, the constant power play and ridiculous demands, Bob Arum defending Mayweather.

    Look if Floyd & Roger didn't have the legal battles Manny would have been facing Floyd instead of Shane this May.
