Simple question, Did Mayweather jr duck a PRIME Manny Pacquiao?

The only two I saw incredible size and power in moving up in weight were Pacquiao and Marquez in the fourth Pacquiao fight. Is there any Pac fan who recognize that Marquez was natural in their fourth fight? No. That's how many felt when Pacquiao was done with Cotto

 

How is that possible when Mayweather's older?

 

Pacquiao's style in not suited for longevity. Mayweather's safety first attitude is. Pacquiao is in countless of wars. Mayweather, you can count it in one hand. Pacquiao has the older ring age. Floyd has been preserving his body by taking long vacations and at one point, is fighting only once a year.

Floyd said it best. "The timing is right just now." " I see some changes in him (pacquiao)".

 

Clearly a duck. Mayweather put up a lot of obstacles. His father was afraid for his son's life and Mayweather Jnr was afraid of losing the "0" along with his health. He admits it on TV.

Pac had no issues with drug testing but, it was the olympic style testing that he couldn't agree with. He was legitimately superstitious of the effects of getting blood drawn close to the day of the fight. He's not even sparring now on the day he gets blood drawn out.

 

Yes

But then Manny ducked a needle

so his duck - for once - actually has validity

 

Thats cause Marquez was naturally incredible

 

Nope.

Pacquiao had to do a simple thing call random drug testing and decided to say he was scared of needles.

Also Bob Arum never wanted it.

 

No, it's Manny that walked away. And neither was at their prime weight, in 2009 or now.

 

I'm not the biggest mayweather fan but Pac should have taken the test not only did the fight not happen when it should have but it made many look suspect.

 

How do you call them "obstacles", when Pac's own team originally said:

Roach:"I hear negotiations are a little shady. Schaefer and them are unhappy about something. They want Olympic-style drug testing. I said, 'Yeah, no problem.' I said, 'Whatever you want.' Since we accepted that, now they're running scared again."

Koncz:"Our reaction is, 'So what?' We know Manny doesn't take any illegal drugs or anything. And none of this is getting under Manny's skin or anything. I'm here with Manny, and to him, it's like a joke. It's a laughing matter," said Koncz.


Obviously his own team didn't think it was an "obstacle". Pac has since been asking the exact drug testing of others that you consider an "obstacle". All the excuses that he had went completely out the window. The only reason that Pac didn't train on the day he had blood taken was because Roach stopped him because of possible overtraining, not because it "makes him weak".

 

Yes.
