    Floyd thinks he is on some **** b/c he as well as us all watched Manny fight at the lower weights and seen him change into a fighter that throws more punches per round and does not get as tired as before. Pac used to get ****ing tired. If you watch Morales Pac 1 you see the mother****er having to take breaks after letting off combos to get a breather. Roy Jones hinted to this during the fight. Now fast forward.. later in this dudes career after taking some punishment from Marquez and Morales he steps up in weight and is able to increase everything. When any other fighter moves up they lose something and have to adapt(including dudes like Floyd, Duran and pretty much every other fighter out there). Look at Holyfield ..lol never tested positive for roids but do you think he was using roids mister Evan Fields.. Do you think he made that jump from being a cruiser to Heavy naturally now. Seems to be a trend with alledged roid users and caught roid users like James Toney fighting at Heavy. He needed the roids to compete physically. Then you see the Oquendo Toney at heavy not on roids.. Its as plain as ****ing day that they do reap benefits.

    what merchant comment could be said for pacquiao. if you're going to recieve the biggest payday of your career and you're clean, why not to just take the drug test.merchant, like most others who have an opinion on this subject is biased. and unbiased person will clearly see that both mayweather and pacquiao are stubborn because at any point, either man could say, ok, to make this fight, i'll give in. as it stands, neither man has made a move.

    Because the fight would have happened already and none of this would be discussed?

    Man is your big font to show how big your dumb is? :lol:

    Pacquiao fans were claiming he was slipping right after that second Marquez fight. Now they're saying that at 31, while fighting in his 9th division, he has now reached his prime. None of them see the problem with that.

    Exactly.
    The existing testing requirements are very old.
    Something must be done to curb the use of PED's.
    Hockey, baseball. football, boxing etc.
    Kids are using the stuff in high school.
    Everything has become so competative.
    Anything to get an edge.

    Never mind --why.
    Drug testing is more than justified.
    The use of PED's is out of control.
    Anyone who opposes either doesnt want to get caught or doesnt have a clue on how rampant the use of PED's has becoime.
    Plus the existing drug tests for boxers are very old and far from up to date with current PEDs.

    Um no. Mayeather started with the requests. Pac could have walked away. Instead he tried to manipulate the system. When it didn't work he ran and is still running.

    Why are you *******s so obsessed with homo***uality? :think

    To be honest, Floyd just thinks Pac is on something. It doesn't have to do with who PAc beat as *******s would like you to believe. The man jumped from 112 to 147. I'd ask any man to be tested also if they made that weight jump. Pac still looked ordinary when he faced 2, two fisted fighters in JMM and Morales. Hell, I'd have asked Bonds, Sosa and McGuire to be tested too since all 3 broke the hr record all around the same time.

    :clap:

    Spot on.

    What he said about Floyd having that seed of doubt is really on point; and how he's built himself and his legacy on that 0.
