    So which tests did Manny have an issue with when he started his career all the way to the Cotto fight? What testing did he refuse to do? Did he get any discipline or have fights canceled for not doing what everyone else was doing?

    The hilarious thing is that Mayweather cucks have absolutely no idea what they're saying. Pac never refused any testing. They disagreed on the cutoff date and there was precedence — a 15 year old Pac interview where he stated that he felt weakened by blood tests close to the Morales fight. At the time, before Pac was even mentioned as a Floyd opponent, Floyd was a Pac fan and going to his fights even cheering him on. No doubt Floyd knew about this and used it. So Pac was willing to undergo USADA testing, he just didn't want to give in to ALL of Floyd's demands. It's like a buyer willing to pay $925,000 for a house, but not $1.2 million. Doesn't mean the buyer didn't want to buy the house.

    And then of course the Mayweather cucks don't see anything wrong with Floyd refusing VADA testing, $5 million dollar drug test penalty, and then getting caught with illegal IVs.

    Dumbest fan base in sports.

    This is my favorite. “Manny said he was afraid of needles”. Ok. Post the link where he actually said that. *crickets*. But then again, these same guys said Manny would never get a better offer than 40 mil flat.

    Ask you hero Manny after all he was the one with the issues. Common sense and the eye test tells us something is up if a former flyweight is moving up the weights up to Light Middleweight and his power is not diminished.

    So your strength as a teen, is the same as when you are in your 20s? And besides Hatton, who was stopped with one punch? Most of his kos come from a constant barrage of punches throughout the course of a fight. Accumulation of punishment. Odd you say Manny is my hero. That’s projection. So let’s try again. So which tests did Manny have an issue with when he started his career all the way to the Cotto fight? What testing did he refuse to do? Did he get any discipline or have fights canceled for not doing what everyone else was doing?

    I think in hindsight there are a few main reasons why the fight didn’t happen.

    1. Bob Arum. He knew if Mayweather won a stinker it would impact the commercial value of his main asset, who’s star was never shining brighter. In house fights vs other TR opponents were more financially beneficial to him.
    2. Mayweather not being 100% sure he would win. He had more to lose, given his whole marketing campaign centred around being unbeaten.

    Such a shame it never happened at the 2010 time. FWIW, I think Pacquiao would have beat him then.

    You are being obtuse asking the same question when you know the answer. They could have fought in 2009 or 2010 but one of them had issues with Olympics style drugs testing and it was not Floyd. That is all that matters on this topic. Game, set and match. Please don’t bother asking me the same irrelevant question.

    FMJ beats Pac at ANY time or at ANY weight at ANY time in their respective career..............fact......118-110 is all what she wrote when they fought............when you cannot get a handle on the Mexican brawler aka Marquez with a chin in FOUR fights while taking the sniffing salt 10000 count in one you are absolutely doomed against Mayweather.......and that is that.

    I’ll keep asking until you actually answer. Again, no organization ever requested Manny to do any phony tests. So which tests did he refuse? Why did Floyd wait til after 39 fights to worry about drug testing that nobody is doing?

    No one said an organization asked him to rather it was in the negotiations that it was demanded as a key term. Floyd stood his ground and eventually forced his Will on Pacquiao who acquiesced.

    So he never ducked any tests. Thanks. I knew you would come around. But can you explain why Floyd needed 40 fights to want to become a drug crusader?

    To answer the actual question, the testing was supposed to take place as a PPV event in Bob’s 500,000 seater stadium.

    Both of these guys wanted to fight each other from day 1, but Mayweather and Bob had their issues and Bob didn’t want to relinquish his cash cow. There’s not a lot else to say here but people like to make stuff up. Neither boxer was ‘scared’ of the other, they’re both on a different plane from that crap.

    Floyd telling you he stalled, bruh. And he's been going on and on in very recent times about how Clenelo is picking and choosing, but that he earned the right just like he [Floyd] did.

    Why does this not compute in your head? Do I need to increase the font of the colored and bolded parts?
