You actually have a point there, and no I didn't want it added to make Floyd look bad; it made a huge buzz though and no one from his camp said anything. What a fighter "doesn't" say might be just as damaging as what he does say. Still doesn't help the big picture though that one side didn't feel like negotiating though. :-(
atschatsch that article has Oscar's statement and him backtracking. Please mention anything else missing. Matter a fact, Ben says you can email him what he is missing with source
yeah I feel ya. Like I said before, this part should favor Manny a lot more. The only thing that really helps Floyd here is the fact that they stated multiple times and before negotiations that he wasn't planning to fight and that Manny didn't agree to all the testing
i noticed that also and would not trust any article written by ben thompson when it comes to floyd but still even with this, thompson can only put the blame on the drug testing (again) while it's clear, even with some missed events like when pac actually didn't signed immediately for a margo fight since he really wants the floyd fight, it is still clear that floyd was hell bent on not fighting from that time frame until his return from vacation.
They tried to meet in the middle before. You forget Pac wouldn't budge from the 30 day cut off during the first negotiations. Only reason he did is because his hand got forced once the Hatton testing vid got out. So instead of meeting in the middle at 14 days(which was more than fair) he only went down to 24 days. The end result of all that was a defamation lawsuit. So now Floyd is like, I tried to be nice and compromise but all I got was a lawsuit in the end. So now he is all or nothing. Can you really blame him. As far as the 2nd question I just feel like he thought TOP RANK wasn't taking him seriously when he said no full test then no fight. Obvious they didn't then and still don't. With that he decided to go enjoy the fruits of his labor. So I'm sure he could have worded it better but it is what it is.
EXACTLY! FULL OF MISSING EVENTS! Again, this is a ***** subconsciously agreeing that Floyd really is ducking Pac. Ain't that a *****?
You don't know that. Manny hasn't agreed to full testing throughout this whole fiasco so there is no telling what Floyd would have done had Manny agreed to it.
just leave this thread, because you didn't even read it and just saying things are missing when you can't even name what they are
Lets all thank Devildoc for being the first to start the war of words between *******s/*****s. Honestly I was counting the pages this thread gets too before some ******* or/and ***** ruined it with there pointless comments. Can't we all just get along?
Sorry chump but that article is straight up bias. If i was given a day off at work and get paid to create an article ( Ben created that article to create controversy and get paid ) I would be happy to do a more extensive unbiased article. Even the *******s were somewhat divided at some point because we all want to see floyd get KTFO. Anybody can create a more accurate time line of events compare to that garbage article written by Ben Thompson. Kick rocks chump.
Horrible...literally terrible retort. Dude has no information, doesn't know where to find any information, and has no clue what he's talking about.
Like what? Surely if the timeline is so "biased" there are plenty of examples that you could provide to show this bias, right? So throw a couple of events out there that demonstrate the inconsistancy or bias in the article. I'll wait...
you're an absolutely **** poster. You can't even come up with one thing that is missing from it. Not ONE thing and you say you can make a more unbiased one. He doesn't even give his opinion on the articles given unless the source is from fighthype. GTFO
