    Had he agreed they would have fought. We'd know who is the best of the two.

    If Mayweather/Pacquiao had to not happen in order for other fighters to not fight on PED's and for the previously oblivious fans to slowly move toward being aware of the problem, then that is a fine trade for me. Some people don't seem to care about PED use, but I am not and never have been among them.

    Pacquiao did kinda start it with all his stipulations.

    the man has a point.. i hear alot of people say "floyd only brang up testing when pacs name came up" but look at pacquiaos achievments.. they are huge.. going up 8 divisions knocking people out

    floyd just wanted him to prove that his achievments were legit.

    pac should have gave into floyds demands of testing in order to get more leveridge on the fight (ill give you testing but you have to give me more cash.. or my choice of gloves... or anything)

    instead he just walked away...

    blood makes me weak, stadium needs to be built, cut needs time to heal, we will fight on May 5th since Floyd will be in jail, oh Floyd isn't going to jail yet well we need time to build a stadium. Team Pac has made over 36 excuses not to fight dude and those are facts. Get on topic.

    :deal

    Amazing how people still use this "what about my health" thing as a weapon against Floyd. Easy to take somebody's comments out of context when you've got an agenda. We all know what he meant when talking about his health was drug testing, something their idol Pacquiao refused

    Also Puga, if Manny had genuinely agreed to testing for the last 15 months, why not put it in place for the Mosley, Marquez and Bradley fights? It's easy to sit I front of a camera and claim you'll agree to testing. Actually agreeing to it for real has been somewhat more difficult for Manny

    For real. Manny could have done random testing with anyone just to prove he was clean but he didn't. The way they acted about the whole thing was very suspect.

    Floyd never said that so don't put words in his mouth.

    He doesn't have to say it for us to know what he meant! He clearly did not mean "i'm scared of Manny Pacquiao, he's so good he's a threat to my health".

    Are you in denial that he was talking about drug testing? Come on, be real

    what all i posted came from floyd's very own mouth. let's list all what came from their very own mouth and let's see who between pac and floyd has too many excuses especially recently. when would floyd replenish his 15 pounds of muscle BS and fight again?

    if ali knew that he would get parkinsons, he would have never fought the fights that people wants to see - floyd mayweather jr.

    Lets get one thing clear. A man will defend his position. If Manny was any kind of man he wouldn't let other men dictate what he does. Manny has never came out and corrected Bob Arum or anyone from his team for the most part even when they say things that start with, "I talked to Manny, and we are not going to do this or that."
