Bert summed it up exactly Mayweather is scared of losing his 0. He knows in his heat that at that time Manny would have kicked his ass so would Tony Margarito. Manny could STILL kick his ass if he rebounds well against Rios
can any hardcore pacquiao fan atleast agree that bob arum clearly has a history of protecting his cash cows and can we also agree that pacquiaos resume is filled with great names but they were coming off losses (some brutal KO's) arums job is to make money both for himself and his fighter. arum not letting floyd fight cotto and DLH is a prime example of him trying to protect his fighters gone wrong.. floyd and dlh make the fight without arum and made a world record payday not trying to hate but you cant atleast conceed there is very credible evidence that bob arum is infact to blame
Barrera, how deep are you in the boxing biz? I just wanna ask coz you seem to know the ins and outs of the industry at least i can say i'm not.....but from a fight fan's point of view, do you think your opinion holds water better than bert sugar? :hi: you can lie all you want.....this is just a boxing forum anyways :good
Love the sport, not involved with any team or actually on the inside if thats what you are asking but i try to do research before i post things online, i know its just a boxing forum where alot of people are clearly emotionly invested in one side so it clearly sways them but i dont feel as if i have lied? I think to understand whats happening you really have to look at the facts and the relationships of the people involved and thats what my post was about. Again im not sure what the whole "waving" emoticon is but HI MATE Sugar does not really give any real factual reason for his opinion, his been around boxing longer then i have lived so i have to respect the mans opinion but like i said no factual evidence? He gave him all the props in the world taking on marquez then he pulls a 360 with this video? I mean "floyd does not want to lose his 0" well of course he doesent lol but he is clearly willing to take risky fights. Mosley after he destroyed margarito (which should be a great win in floyd critics books because they often talk about how marg scared the **** out of floyd). Roach is on record in an interview stating he would not fight him unless he drained himself down to 140,142 Shane asked "you made 147 for oscar why not me?" Roach replies with "because he aient oscar" the interviewer asks him What he means by that an roach goes on to say "because his better then oscar" If you search on youtube freddie roach cherry picking im Sure ull find it as i did, on an iphone at the momen so unable to link it. Again you might not agree with what i have to say but im trying to show you how i came to this conclusion
I'm not going to knock Floyd's resume it is full of great fighters. It is missing a few names that could have made it better but as you have pointed out blame and circumstances can be spread between a lot of people for these fights not happen. But I believe Pacquiao is the exception for whatever reason Floyd did just not want it. Whoever came up with the drug testing issue in the Floyd camp is a genius. It put Manny in the impossible position of either refusing testing and looking like a cheat or giving into Floyds demands from the beginning. It was the first road block put in place and I don't think it had anything to do with any suspicions Floyd had. What do you think Floyds reaction would have been if Manny had requested random testing? Do you think he would have bent over and said "yes sir, whatever you want Mr. Pacquiao"
A brilliant post, and consequently a waste of time. You are trying to educate *******s, these fools still cant understand KTFO 6. They will go to their graves ( hopefully ASAP ) claiming lucky punch, Pac was giving JMM a beatdown, and all other kinds of similar wierd ****. However I wish you well in your attempts.
Pac is to blame....He's a grown ass man... He could have insisted Bob make the Mayweather fight or he'd leave. Manny enjoyed the protection and hype Arum gave him.
Lmao :rofl 154 titles for a catchweight of 152 "I fight fighters at their best. I don't do catchweights" - FMJ
Thats easy to answer, because despite the opinions of *******s Mayweather was the bigger name and draw. He had already beaten Oscar, in the biggest PPV fight ever. He had already KO'd Hatton. As stated by Barrera he had already agreed to all their demands, and just made the one, TESTING. Apart from imbecilic *******s it is plain for everyone to see that the excuses for refusing the tests were feeble. Giving blood will weaken me, afraid of needles. Come on ffs, that is the kind of nonsense schoolgirls would come out with. What amazes me is how few people realise the genius move of the subhuman filth Arum, who immediately spun his and his fighters reluctance to fight Mayweather, claiming an accusatorial witch hunt against Pac. And of course all the *******s and uneducated people in the sport fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
Canelito's crew offered the 152 catchweight...He said he was comfortable at that weight:hi: Now... Back to Manny's dead-ass career...
