Mayweather: "I Respect Mosley Because He Stood Up Like A Man And Agreed To Be Tested"

Phloyd's scurred my man. Void actually thinks a roided Pac will beat his ass up. You're lady Phloyd thinks this little one dimensional Pinoy will kick his sorry IRS owned ass.

 

Or, he really is concerned that giving blood too close to a fight will negatively affect his performance.

We've all seen that Manny claims to be a devout Catholic and frequently credits God for his victories. Does God give him an unfair advantage? I'm sure most would doubt that his particular religion makes much difference in his fighting ability.

Lets suppose Manny was told that he had to renounce God if he wants to fight Floyd. Some might argue that his religion is just a superstition, or that God would forgive him if he did. But what if Pac really believes that renouncing God would hurt his chances in the fight? Would he still be called a fool for turning down the fight and all the millions of dollars he stands to earn?

I realize this analogy breaks down in that being a Catholic isn't prohibited. The point is more about why Manny might be willing to turn down the fight/money over beliefs that others might view as a triviality.

 

Yup. And besides Jim Lampley do you have anything else that suggest he took this the night of a fight?

 

I'm not sure about being a renessance man and all but he's more about his legacy than Floyd which is without a doubt based on their careers. And I'm not even sure Manny wants to teach Floyd a lesson....he's just not going to let Floyd dictate anything that has to do with himself and making a fight with him. Manny could be greedy...he could be money hungry but even if that is true he's far less of the two than Floyd is.

I do agree it has alot to do with EGO...Both Floyd and Manny have big ones. Manny was ready for March and so was Floyd......Physically that is....mentally I think there was a lapse in Floyd confidence for the fist time. If Manny gives into the demands this will change my entire view about Manny and WHY he stood strong about not letting Floyd dictate to him how the fight was going to be made and under the demands Floyd insisted on. We'll see if Floyd or Manny makes the concession to get it on.....If either one does give in BOXING wins. I still want to see this fight extremely bad and I feel it's a toss up. But I'm leaning towards manny based on what I've seen from Floyd recently.

I don't need to spin anything about this fiasco brah....the circus came to town with Money May as the ring leader with all this BS he created to put a hold on this fight from happening.

 

Pac wanted the NSAC to do the testing.

We have no idea what they would do for this fight. I am only going off what they currently do which is not test for EPO.

It seems that it doesn't matter and you are assuming that the NSAC will do more than what they normally do. Pac wanted the NSAC to do it because they want to only do what the NSAC tells them. The NSAC has yet to say they would do a blood test, because Arum has said if they want a blood test we will do one, we don't even know for sure.


Stop acting like Pac's actions are someone who is clean, he looks guilty here.

 

Nah....the damage is done with the allegations...No matter what PAC did afterwards the stigma would always be there. Had he given in to Floyd's demands and won....Do you honestly think Floyd's mouth would have stopped? He'd say the A-Side of Meth was the reason no testing in the world could catch the cheating Flip....if he Lost, critics would say it was proof he was using before and that was the reason he lost to Floyd. There are no tests out there that are 100% and that is all that is necessary to cast this shawdow over Manny and his rep. No win situation for PAC Man.

 

why would you want to test elerbe's semen. i'm sure he's probably not firing blanks. though your concern amazes me.

 

I want to clean up boxing. :good

 

I knew you know that,... but you got caught trying to pass half true as a fact.

 

Xylocaine is legal.

I stated a fact. Not a half true fact.

 

Mayweather hasn't made any claims about Pacquiao being on PEDs, he just asked him for the random tests. You wouldn't ask for the testing before a fighter is even on your radar. Since there is no evidence, does that mean O.J. was innocent too? He was never proven to be guilty. Plus, this is not a court of law anyway, this is about public perception. Pacquiao hurt his own image and reputation by refusing to take random tests and using obviously false reasons.

Champions negotiate all of the time and that is normal. Didn't Cotto give in to Pacquiao's demands? Didn't Baldomir give in to Mayweather's demands? Didn't Hopkins give in to De La Hoya's demands? Didn't Hagler give in to Leonard's demands? What makes Pacquiao so special that he doesn't have to negotiate and make some concessions?

 

Other than for psychological reasons, I still don't know why Floyd never asked anyone else to take additional testing? Anyone out there have a good serious answer?

 

The Mayweathers were bashing Pac way before their fight negotiations even began, before blood testing was even an issue. They were tarring his name straight after the Cotto fight. They damaged his name and his reputation long before they started negotiating their own fight. So to say his reputation wouldn't suffer at all... is total bull****. Before you start calling me a '*******' I really couldn't give a flying **** about him either way.

 

Pac agreed to three blood tests (most importantly one at 24 days out, and one post-fight) in addition to unlimited random urine tests regardless of what NSAC called for. Any testing beyond those agreed upon would have to be ordered by NSAC. What do you think the lab would be doing with these blood and urine samples? They could analyze them for whatever Floyd wanted them to. You saying Pac would consent to having blood drawn, but require that tests for EPO or hematocrit can't be done? Your argument makes no sense in light of what Manny is known to have accepted.

 

Xylocaine is legal to use up to 7 days before the fight... and I agree, it's legal.
