its like this 2 tennis players agree to a game suddenly one says "hey i want to change the rules which have been set for the last 50 years" the other one says "**** off, play within the normal rules and walks away" same principle applies with every other smiler situation mate, i aint saying pacquaio is on drugs or not, hell i dont even know if most other boxers are, all i know is if mayweather thinks he can change the rules of boxing, then it is him who is making excuses to force pacquaio to walk. just because pacquaio walked, it doesnt mean its him doing the ducking, maybe its the guy who is changing the rules of boxing? just maybe.
Anyone who thinks it's a pure coincidence that Mayweather Sr. accuses Pacquiao of being on steroids and then Mayweather Jr. decided to start a crusade on getting drugs out of the sport, is out of their mind. Floyd used additional, unfair testing, to get put of this fight because he thought he would lose. The subject of drugs is such a taboo, if Pacquiao didn't bow to every single demand, he would be labelled a cheat and Mayweather could seem like the good guy, who didn't duck and who wanted to make the sport clean. If you believe that, you are deluded. Mayweather ducked Pacquiao just like I predicted he would, before the serious negotiations started. Look at my reasoning back then and tell me my prediction didn't come true.
What the **** does this have to do with Floyd ducking Manny as you implied?:huh Its perfectly legal to ask for a more stern test! You're acting like Floyd asked him to jump off a bridge or something!atsch
wow, another mayweather idiot fan making excuses for his duck use your ****ing head, read the posts 2 up.
But pac was willing to accept those terms at 21 days. But the 14 obviously weren't convenient enough for him to use the drugs to their maximum benefit so he walked away -- over 7 days. If people can't realize there's something fishy there then they're hopeless.
Schaefer, Haymen and other members of Floyd's team said he should sign after Pacquiao agreed to the terms, yet he didn't. He made a counter offer and Pacquiao was the one who didn't back down then. Both are guilty of being stubborn. My point will always be that if Mayweather was sure he'd win, he'd have beaten Pacquiao, regardless of the drugs he was on. The only reason he asked for additional testing, was to find a way out. To his credit, it worked.
read between the lines mate what floyd asked was a change of boxing rules, that is a fact. what he asked for was unreasonable as he did not want to follow the normal boxing rules, he found something way way in advance probably after pacquaio killed hatton that pacquaio would not agree to in the contracts. then the work started he got his out spoken crack head of a dad and uncle to spread the lies until they reached main stream media, alas, he had a good excuse to make pacquaio say no floyd has a history of this, ducking a young(er) mosley, cotto, margo, williams and many more
you are missing the point mate, why should pacquaio agree to a change in boxing rules? in 2005 pacquaio told the WORLD, taking blood out weakens him for 1-2 days as his body doesnt react well after a while. mayweathers knew this and used it
Taking it to the basics, if you looked at the challenges Pacquiao has faced and those Mayweather has faced, I don't see how you can assume that Pacquiao would duck Mayweather. History shows that if either has ducked, it's Mayweather. If Pacquiao had anything less than a true warriors heart, I don't think you'd see such a fantastic resume.
Exactly. Some guy said earlier "how would Mayweather know?"...well, I'm just a fan and I ****ing knew! Most people on the Internet knew Pacquiao said having blood taken weakened him, so why would the Mayweather's not know? Of course they would. Steroids are such a taboo in sport, if Mayweather had demanded testing 1 day before the fight, the same people who defend him now, would defend him in that case. Thats why steroids were the perfect cop out because Pacquiao was screwed, unless he did things which would harm his performance.
He does if he wants to be mentioned in a top 10 list without getting laughed at... beating Mayweather would be the everest of all Pacquiao`s accomplishments... he should WANT Mayweather on his record, win or lose & vice versa with Floyd, they MUST fight, its beyond tragic if they dont fight this year never mind fight at all.
Yep. Pacquiao has fought the absolute best. For the past few years, Mayweather has fought no top fighter at welterweight, despite being in the position to make those fights. After all, all roads lead to Mayweather, right? When Pacquiao became the best in the world, he fought the best challenges out there.
