    If you notice, I dont think Floyd has fought any Top Rank fighters since he left arum.

    After Hatton I can see Floyd getting some serious talking to by Sr. about Manny could be dangerous fight.

    MAB and EM. Hell Floyd ducked these two fighters, and seeing Pac DESTROY them made him go into flight mode, even fan mode. Check Pac-Morales II where Floyd was jumping all over the place when Pac started hurting EM in the latter rounds. Hell even I would go on jumping like that. :lol:

    It was gradual. Started with Hatton, reinforced with Cotto, and then the succeeding fights.

    I honestly think it was after the Cotto fight. He made up his mind after that one.

    I don't think he ever wanted to deal with a warrior like Pacman. Which means he would have never fought Hearns,Duran,Hagler or Benitez.

    yep it looked like he came back during the hatton fight to fight marquez and then the winner of the hatton vs pac fight, both would sell very well at that point. Pac then brutally ko's hatton and is really fast and powerfull, maybe oscar wasnt a fluke? sr is definitely scared and impressed, he then gives cotto a beatdown a guy floyd wasnt keen on facing before he retired and that was the point his interest in fighting pac dropped big time.

    Hatton and Cotto. If you try and imagine being a fighter that is scared to lose, those two fights would convince me to avoid a fighter like Manny.

    because all those top rank fighters happened to be top welterweights, and floyd ducked them all.- cotto , margo, clottey . Add a younger Shane Mosley and Williams to list of guys he wanted no part of.

    LOL Floyd ducked EM and MAB? How is that possible considering they've never even been near the same weight class? *******s reaching. Guess Floyd also ducked Vitali Klitschko and Joe Calzaghe.:lol:

    Pac ducked Ivan Claderon

    I'm not sure if you guys are delusional, or just too childish to accept basic facts.

    Both negotiations fell through, as they couldn't agree drug testing.

    Pacquiao walked out of the first fight over drug testing. That's when he decided he didn't want the fight

    Idiots invent conspiracy theories, as they're not man enough to take on difficult information.

    If you look at every bit of evidence, and every interview with anything to do with this bout, it's plain obvious that Mayweather will only fight with full random drug tests, and Manny will only fight with some sort of cut off.

    Instead, you get children blubbing away, about a lot of myths
