Nobody was testing at the time, and Floyd hasnt tested his 30+ opponents prior, until Pac came along. Health anyone?
Roll you eyes all you like, this much has become abundantly clear, from both the man himself and those around him.
Floyd never cared for testing before Pacquiao. But wait, Pac's easy work? Why testing? Obviously just Floyd trying to be the "man" and Pac not having it or Floyd not feeling too brave about fighting Pac. Floyd's not a likeable person. I understand completely why anyone would want to tell him to **** off. Pac had no reason to be taking demands like that from Floyd, especially at that time.
There weren't any serious negotiations? He called out Pacquiao. Wanted the fight May 5th of that year. And what they say? His cut needed time to heal. The stadium needed to be built. And so what. If you expect a man to give in to your demand of 10 mil per pound overweight. Then you should have no problem with testing. It's as simple as that.
Pac is p4p better than Ward. His defeat of Timmy tonight eclipses ANYTHING Andre has done to this point.
I see you want to exalt Pac as if he had no wrongdoing in the fight not happening, so let's end this conversation here.
Floyd may hit harder than Bradley, but Bradley tonight was committing more to his punches. He was throwing haymakers and when you throw haymakers, even malignaggi is gonna be putting people down. Floyd would never resort to haymakers, he'd box and I'd like to see how he does when he has to abandon his shoulder roll style because that shoulder roll is all made for a southpaw with a vicious left.
That's your response? You know damn well it's different. If Pac had a history or roiding then they would have been even, but he didn't!
I would link countless threads and articles contrary to the bogus claim but honestly this topic is just like talking to people who believe in god. No matter how much evidence is out there people believe what they want.
Well if Floyd was going to pay 10mil regardless then ye I'm sure he would have tested. However Floyd will only pay 10mil if he cheated, Pac was having blood drawn regardless if he didn't cheat. Big difference. And if Floyd truly did call them out, I believe it was just before his prison term and they wanted to build a stadium instead, well yea I agree thats a duck too or perhaps they were looking for a rustier Floyd post prison. Question, why did it have to be pre-prison, why not make it happen after he came out and there is no rush?
he's back to nr 2 on my list. **** Andre Ward. He fought once in the last 18 months against frikking Edwin Rodriguez.
