Mainstream fans opinion of Pac - Mayweather saga

But the ones who write the boxing books, the boxing magazines, the articles, etc. will know better.

And all anyone will need to do is buy a Pacquiao career set and read a little bit on the topic to know that PAcquiao was an amazing fighter and that he passed the same tests as everyone else did many many times.

 

That is the reason why Pac is suing them. His name is defamed. It may look bad now but as long as there are no proof that Pac took any of these banned drugs or anyone stepped forward to claim Pac took these drugs, his legacy is secured.

 

Oh, there is NO question about that. NONE. Pacquiao's reputation will never fully recover. This isn't about feuding fanboys anymore. Pacquiao's reputation has taken an unbelievable hit in the mainstream sports world, and in the minds of millions of boxing fans worldwide. His ONLY chance at burying this controversy was to take the Mayweather fight. This will never end now. Not ever.

 

Which could turn out to be an EPIC disaster if Pacquiao somehow loses that suit. Horrible, awful risk to take. Manny Pacquiao has everything to lose with that case. If it doesn't go his way it's going to reignite this situation all over again, ten fold.

 

mannys been badly mismanaged... i do actually feel sorry for him

 

Monumentally mismanaged, misadvised, mishandled, and misinformed.

 

not really, Teddy Atlas was quoted in m....boxing as saying he thinks the tests should have been done by team pac and he cant understand why they havent done it...i cant past the article for some reason so go check it out...i am sure there is plently more but thats one influential commentator who would disagree with you

 

Definitely.

 

A poll by ESPN is more reliable. Besides the TS is a known joy boy hence the content of his post is expected.

Btw, below is a link to a Yahoo sports article. Read the comments below and see who is being criticized for the fight not being made.

Here is an article in ESPN about the bout. Read the comments as well. Almost everyone is criticizing Floyd for the fight not happening.

As I actually personally believe Pac is not on PEDs, I agree its the fact that he has been "monumentally mismanaged, misadvised, mishandled and misinformed".

Not fighting Mayweather will forever put a black-eye on Manny's legacy. After the past 2 or so months of bull ****.

 

you've put forward a pretty good example. Mosley and Jones were both caught using PEDs yet noone thinks Jones was juicing when he beat Ruiz, and noone thinks Mosley was juicing when he beat Collazo. Despite the fact that they were submitted to the same drug tests as Pac has been many many times.

So if Pac is looked back as being in doubt of steroids use despite having a clean slate, just cause of the way he handled his negotiations with Mayweather, while other fighters who have a history of steroids abuse are no longer in doubt, even though they are passing the exact same drug tests as Pac, then something just doesn't add up.
