    Team Mayweather PUBLICLY said a 14 day testing cut off was fine. The advantage he wants to be entitled to is PEDs.

    Anyone who believes drawing a vial of blood will make you "drowsy" either has never been to a doctor, a fool, or a *******.

    That's not what *******s believe. That is what Pac believes. Same as Floyd believing Pac is using PEDS.

    Oh it's changing. Within 2 weeks Pac has gone from what you basically said to a lying cheat leaving us all to wonder is this why he dominated Oscar, Hatton and Cotto? He may not be a lying cheat yet, but it's getting damn close to coming to fruition.

    Let Floyd fight thinking Pac is on to something, Pac has the mental advantage there. Why would he concede that advantage? Floyd turned yellow when Pac accepted the fight too soon. He needed a way out.

    Mentally, PAC already convinced himself of getting weak because of it after the Morales fight. This isnt any different. Pac abide by the rules, Floyd wanted new one's.

    The more popular ducker cemented his legacy as a ducker.

    Yea especially 14 fuking days before the fight. Give me a break. You gotta be a freaking ****** to think Pac's this superstitious or gets weak from the blood drawn for that long, let alone a few hours. Brutal

    pac and freddy are both full of **** along with bob arum.They do'nt want the fight.FDloyd met all of thier demands.A two week window is ok.They want moer time.They know yhey can't beat Floyd in the ring.So they run to court.Bet they want Clottey at a catchweight.pac has yet to fight a legitimate welterweight at welterweight.team pac is probably drawing up a bunch of bull**** conditions for the Clottey fight.All thier way or no fight.Grow some balls pac.You won a welterweight title at a catchweight.

    You're so far in denial. Listen, I understand Pac is your hero and there's nothing wrong with that, but all signs are pointing to his guilt and he's getting less and less room to wiggle free.

    Well if they think that is a valid "defense" for not taking a blood test they are fools.

    I think If he fought Floyd now, he is already thrown of his game. I think Floyd got into his head already! And would keep getting into his head until fight night!

    This is where you're wrong. Laws were made to protect people from stupidity.:patsch Baseless accusations is just one of the many forms of stupidity:yep

    In regards to the topic tho, mental conditioning is very important part of boxing, it is also a good weapon leading to a fight.

    Now that Floyd showed his weakness mentally by asking for an unusual drug testing procedure, because he got scared for his safety. He stuck to it hoping that Pac wont agree.

    Pac has consistently challenged himself by showing good performances in his recent fights. Floyd, on the other hand, retired from boxing with a tarnished reputation of ducking formidable opponents, comes out of retirement to fight a featherweight, and again ****en up his credibility by coming in over the stipulated agreed weight against the featherweight he asked to jump 2 weight division up, rejecting a fight offered by Mosely right after and now ridiculously asking for something like this.

    Likewise, i know you feel for the guy, but frankly, history wont be so kind to a fighter with such reputation, and at the end of the day, the only thing going for him is his unbeaten record.

    He doesnt care for his legacy ffs! it doesnt pay the bills remember!?

    Just imagine how the press conf. and the weigh in would look! Not a pretty sight for Pac, unless he could hold his composure. Then you got the trainers Roach and uncle Roger in each others face. Dayam wish this fight was going down.
