    "Pacquiao did all he can. He did all I would have done. I think Mayweather just got a little too scared if you ask me. If he thinks Pacquiao is taking drugs so what, he should just say: ‘You take it, you kill yourself that isn't going to help you, because with my talent and ability I believe I can still beat you. But he was scared to take that challenge," he said.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    Holmes, who famously beat Mohammad Ali and fell one short of matching Rocky Marciano's 49 straight win record added of Pacquiao: "He knows his body, he knows what he wants. I don't know whether he still needs the money but he's fought a lot. If he don't want to fight no more hey I feel good about that. Boxing is not for everybody if you stay in it too long you get hurt."
    "If they never fight it wont be Pacquiao's fault. Every time they came round to fighting Mayweather put his excuses in," said the Easton Assassin who fought 75, won 69, 44 by knock-out, with six losses.
    "Pacquiao did all he can. He did all I would have done. I think Mayweather just got a little too scared if you ask me. If he thinks Pacquiao is taking drugs so what, he should just say: ‘You take it, you kill yourself that isn't going to help you, because with my talent and ability I believe I can still beat you. But he was scared to take that challenge," he said.
    "At the end of the day when you're the champ you're the champ. Pacquiao was the one going up a weight class for Mayweather not vice-versa, and Mayweather is the one who can't earn a big price unless he fights Pacquaio, not the other way around. Pacquaio is a good fighter the greatest of all time. People have always paid big money to watch his fights and always will," he said.

    the only thing that doesn't make sense is Floyd needing Pac to earn a lot of money.

    That made alot of sense...

    He is a wizened old bugger, and he knows more about the boxing game than any fool poster on here. Floyd has been waiting for pac to get old. He looks like a damn coward to the whole world except those blinded by the fandom...

    In the long run, so ****ing what if pac was taking drugs, Floyd should of manned up an fought the mother ****er anyways. If he's the greatest of all time he'd whoop him anyways. Because even freddie roach admits there are a fair few fighters in the history of the sport that would of handed pac's lunch to him...

    but if a 38 year old, blown up lightweight can beat a roided pacquiao, what's floyds issue when he's goin around sayin "easy work, easy work" and his fans "pacquiao been beating weigh drained fighters, mosley exposed him, marquez beat him"

    so what's the problem? do you fear for floyds life vs pacquiao? do you fear he is not as good as marquez? :lol:
