    Using the same logic, Manny was scared of Mayweather because he allowed drug testing to derail the fight because he didn't feel confident he could beat Mayweather if he had to take drug test. As it would "mentally weaken him"

    Mayweather is a technical boxer, he prides himself on different things then Pac prides himself on in there fights. To Mayweather a master class performance would be taking an opponents best ability and neutralizing it and countering it showing that he has more boxing skill then that opponent. Not necessarily coming in and beating a guys ass with blazing combos or one punch knock out power.

    Before the Hatton fight people were saying that Mayweather has never seen the type of pressure that Hatton could apply. So what does Mayweather do, he allows Hatton to apply pressure and completely neutralizes him in his own game before knocking him out. Demonstrating how expanded Mayweather's boxing ability really is. With Mosley people were saying he would be the first legit big powerful WW that Mayweather would ever face. So he stood toe to toe with him, fought Mosley in his own game neutralized all his size and power and countered. Of course he did take that one shot in the 2nd rd.

    Pac looks to dominate by showing you how overwhelming his speed and power is. Mayweather looks to dominate you from a more technical avenue.

    The fighters at WW that Pac fought also fight nothing like Mayweather at all so them getting beat up means little to Mayweather. I think Mayweather would reference what Marquez did with Pac then a Cotto or Margarito or Clottey. Mayweather has also face WAY more styles in his career then Pac has. Mayweather is more prepared to face Pac then Pac is to face Mayweather. Pac has not to my knowledge faced a fighter with A level hand speed in his career or even A level athleticism.

    Floyd also said he wants a year or two off. He also said he may not ever fight again. He hasn't said anything about blood tests since the Mosley fight. His dad said taht Pacquiao has agreed. Then he said he said he hasn't agreed. The bottom line is Pac has said he'll agree to the tests. All Floyd has to do is call him out. END OF ****ING STORY.

    People take the perspective of how they view things as a fan and merge it to how a fighter like Mayweather would think which is why so many view points are flawed.

    Speed and Power can both be neutralized.

    I agree completely. It is universally understood, that skills (above all else) wins fights.

    All you can do is fall back on the same bull****. The facts are Manny said he'd agree and Floyd hasn't said a f'ing word. All he has to do is go in the media and say "Pac still hasn't agreed, that's why the fight hasn't happened." What hasn't he done that though? Who is going to sit around while the entire world calls you a ***** and spread misinformation when you can set the record straight? The only logical answer is that Floyd doesn't want any part of Pacquiao and he's run out of excuses.

    Who's also a natural lightweight . Most fighters cut weight to get down to whatever weight class their fighting in. Manny is fighting at his regular walking around weight and doesn't have the advantage of reyhydrating himself on fight night and putting on another 5-10 pounds. So really everyone he's fighting is a weight class or two above him. Like I said, Floyd is scared of a lightweight.

    Oscar would have received the same threatment as mayweather if he had beaten manny. When you face a guy coming up in weight the bigger guy always has little to gain.

    Yes. The same Mosley that at the time Floyd signed to fight him Pacquiao's own team said was too dangerous for Pacquiao. That said, this is a trolling thread and I'm out.
