    He also said his gloves and socks did him in. Are you really that gullible to believe that a tea spoon of blood weakened Pacquiao? You do know there is no scientific evidence to confirm this? You do know your body has 8 liters of blood in it right? You'd have to take atleast a liter to feel an effect.

    So you want a cookie?

    wether it drained him or not, he believes it did.

    plenty of people are afraid to fly even though its one of the safest ways to travel. This would be no different.

    Delusional. But if you're picking PAcquiao, it sure as hell makes me more confident Mayweather will win.

    You didn't say anything about that but I thought that I would address the other main concern that I have seen floating around. Level the playing field ? I didn't know the playing field was not level. Even still your point is very well taken. Tell little floyd to go get the rules changed and then implement the new testing rules at the same time for everyone and then everyone's concerns will be addressed. Same rules for everyone, that's fair enough !!!

    Nothing went right for that fight against Morales huh? Wrong socks, wrong gloves and the audacity to make him give blood 2 days before the fight. When you make that many excuses it has to be true.

    :rofl Then we are calling him a ***** for it. A pansy ass fake warrior. A toothless lion. A Mr Miyagi looking mother****er with a head 3 times too big for his body as opposed to 3 years ago. A crying ass, whiining ass, excuse making ass clown that he always was. As one dude put it, "around here we call that an excuse". We all dont believe in ****ing fairy tales.. and your imaginary hero was a good fighter that now seems to be a cheat. Talk about proof and evidence. Every other athlete in sports that tested negative more than 10 times for PEDs that were accused of it and took the "Manny approach" has a tainted image. If that clown is content on the support of his fan base and other gullible goo goo ga ga gump mother****ers rather than eliminating doubt on top of making the Mayweather clan look like fools than that is his perogative. But the when it boils down to the facts is he is walking away from the fight b/c of a steroid test that is random. Period. There is no twisting this or that. No "Mayweather Sr said this about me.." Cry baby talk. Thats what it boils down to.

    thats not what i said at all

    Pac thinks blood testing before a fight weakens him. You can argue that it won't weaken him, thats fine. I don't think it'll weaken him either. But you can also tell all those people who are scared to fly on airplanes that its extremely safe. They'll still continue to believe what they believe.

    Larry Legend is right as usual.

    Crackweather should just retire and give Ellerbe the honey moon of his dreams.

    This is supposed to be one of the biggest fights in boxing history. Even bigger then Mayweather-DLH. So why shouldn't there be extra testing. Even if Pacman didn't cheat in the past. Who's to say what either fighter would due during the training in order to get an advantage for one of the biggest fights in history.

    Since both fighters are subject to the same testing there shouldn't be a problem.

    No, you said that the Mayweather's wouldn't know about Pac's "superstition". I told you it was reasonable to believe they would. I'm not bragging, just pointing out you know nothing.

    I don't believe the amount taken is enough to make a difference. If Pacquiao does, he does. Plenty of fighters have had worse shoulder injuries than Mayweather and won more clearly than he did against Castillo. Hell use that as an excuse though, and I can't argue. People react differently. I'm not comparing a blood test before the fight and a shoulder injury during it, however, if they want to pin the blame on their performances because if these things, then it's reasonable to suggest it'd affect them mentally.

    It is unreasonable. The only source for Pacquiao saying he was weakened was a source ina foreign language. So what you are saying is, Mayweather heard about the steroid controversy, and said "hey I remember reading that Pac doesnt like to get blood drawn, thats how well get him, we'll just say we want him to test for steroids"

    Really? :rofl Did the USA fake the moon landing? Is big foot real?:rofl

    Hell if Mayweather really wanted to give it to Pac, he should have had ellerbe slip in the wrong pair of socks in his gym bag, or make Pac fight with 10 oz gloves like the Nevada Boxing Commish states Welters should

    Name one fighter in the history of the sport who's had a torn rotator cuff and beaten one of the best fighters of their generation. I'll wait. Do you read what you write when you say stupid **** like that?


    Btw, Floyd never used it as an excuse. The only way we know his shoulder was hurt was because Manny Steward went to his house before the fight and he was getting worked on for it.

    :lol::lol::lol: Says the dope that thinks Froch beat Dirrell and is actually a fan of that caveman. Sorry dope I'd rip you to shreds any day of the weak. *******s have more knowledge of boxing then your dumbass.


    I bet your dumbass actually thought Froch was just gonna walk all over Dirrell didnt you. Like I said, if you're picking Pacqiao, the bookies in vegas just jizzed themselves.
