    well the video was well done to suit the agenda of the maker to raise floyd and put down pac. roach is known to speak his mind even if it will not look good for his fighter. but these are not the whole story. yes we all know that hatton was stopped by floyd and shaked by lazcano but what we missed is hatton's performance over the #2 guy malignaggi before pac fight, thus cementing him as 140's best. also roach said hatton is not a good fighter for a champion. that was certainly underrating hatton because his only loses where from floyd and pac. if you would look back, hatton is not exactly good when he fought collazo at 147 where floyd fought him while pac fought him at 140 where he is still undefeated.

    a lot more points in the vid are arranged so that it would serve floyds purpose and the guy who made this has a lot of time in his hands. probably paid by floyd PR company. it focused on oscar's decline after floyd but we know already that oscar was in a decline way before that. and since the video maker is so fond of roach's interviews, why missed the part when roached said that oscar could not pull the trigger anymore when he is training him for floyd. basically suggesting that floyd fought an oscar who could not punch as he used to be.

    On Jimmy Kimmel, he expressed the truth. Mayweather is a bigger guy, has every conceivable advantage so why should he allow people to stick needles in his arms and take his blood no matter how much or how little during the peak of training camp?

    Honestly, I don't understand why you guys have a problem with a 24 day cut off and immediately after the fight.

    If someone could please explain why immediately after the fight isn't good enough I would be happy to learn.

    My feeling is that immediately after the fight was unacceptable to Floyd because he truly is afraid that Pac is on drugs and does not want to risk getting his ass beat.

    What fight is always going to be fair ? One guy has an advantage over the other. It's boxing. :patsch

    Because, why is it okay that Manny has changed his mind 50 times over?

    What's wrong with 14? Why was 14 days rejected.
    In 24 days a cycle can happen.


    That doesn't even make sense.

    Floyd asked for random test, compromised for Pac's new demands over and over. How can Floyd not want the fight?

    Pac agreed to the test.

    Did Floyd somehow know Pac would agree then change his mind?

    I forgot to add, in between that time also, Pac wanted the NSAC to do the blood test, not the USADA.

    Currently the NSAC DOES NOT TEST FOR EPO in its urine samples.

    It's been fun arguing with you guys. But I'm about to pull a Floyd and duck the rest of the debates...

    But I'll say this... Floyd Mayweather has every advantage over Pacquiao. He has the size, the reach, a deep amateur background, Olympic experience, and he was raised in a boxing family by people who were world champions and contenders. mayweather even has the advantage of superior boxing skills.

    My question is this... If not to simply harrass the champ or if not fear, why on earth would a boxer of Floyd's pedigree even consider asking a chump like Pacquiao to submit to a battery of tests?

    Roach does speak his mind and makes it clear that Mayweather fought better versions of De La Hoya and Hatton than Pacquiao did.:good

    It was well put together btw so credit to whoever did it, you can't argue with it when it's coming out of Roach's mouth.

    and one last thing...

    Toontoon, again thanks for bringing up that video. Anytime we have a brain fart and accuse Pac of PEDs, all we need to do is post that video.

    The video exposes Pacquiao as a papr champion who only fights shot fighters, and at the same time exposes Floyd as a coward who doesnt have the balls to face a paper champion who has made a career out of beating guys who were washed up or over the hill. :deal

    if ever 50/50 is never a bargaining point casue the fight would not happen if floyd asked for more especially at this point where pac's the current man. gloves is definitley a non-issue casue it would be a ***** move again for floyd to ask pac to fight in a glove's sixe that would diminish his power.

    floyd might not be scared but why did he want to prove pac is clean in the first place? what is this "something" that makes him convicted that pac should take the test or there would be no fight at all?
