    I have heard what you said. I have also seen you say one thing on one thread and contradict yourself on others. You went as far as blasting Mayweather on the main site. You even offered to write a hit piece going the other direction. So be a man of your word and do it.

    Hey keep the dick out your mouth. I keep it out mine. I am approaching you as a professional journalist. I want you to be fair.

    Opinions are fine until you start ignoring facts. You have the soapbox as a journalist and you are getting contradicting info. Use your POWER!!!

    Luke I have checked your comments. I recognize that you have been quite real about the latest developments. You also get into other forums and go back to bashing Mayweather. I also recognize that you wrote a damning article on the MAIN SITE about Mayweather. You have the power and access to do so. Will you use that same power and access to write in the other direction now that you see the true villian?

    This is why Mayweather says no matter what he will get shafted. Now you have the facts. What will you do with them? Sit on them or use your power as a journalist?

    The media is the single most important tool in a community. Why? It educates the people! School the boxing community on this!!!

    Clottey is a decent challenge, but he isn't who ANYONE wants to see fighting Manny. What the hell does this match do for the sport of boxing? Nothing. What does it do for Arum's pockets? Double dip. Who was asking for this fight? Nobody.

    We want to see Mayweather, Bradley, Mosely. In that order due to the fact I really feel Mosely will need time to heal. This Berto fight will be brutal.

    Dude remove may's ***** from ur mouth, get up off your knees, turn on your tv, and watch a little boxing. It is ALL ABOUT who you fight. Seems to me there's only a hand full of you nuthuggers left... Manny goes on to fight clotty, one of the best welterweights in the world, while nonuts mayweather goes on to fight some guy who couldn't knock out my little sister. Enjoy your heros undefeated record..

    I am 100% objective, and only react to the news that has come out.
    Until Mayweather made the 14 day compromise, i thought he was being a huge piece of ****.

    I do not contradict myself, sorry.

    Also, how can I defend a guy that is accusing a man of cheating with no evidence?
    They just go and accuse the philippines of PED production and manny of being on something? How can I defend that ****?

    What would you say?

    What? You think FMJ was being a "huge piece of ****" because Team Pac has changed their stance on testing constantly? He gave in on EVERY demand Arum said would ruin the deal! Glove size, purse, weight penalty. As far as I know he asked for billing and testing. He has damn near completely caved on testing. It is obvious one side wants the fight. One side wants the fight dirty.

    Yes you do. You get on forums with the Arum subject and say, "14 days is reasonable what is the deal?" Then you are on other threads acting as though you don't see what Team Pac is doing wrong.

    As a professional I am just asking you to write another article.

    * FMJ also asked for location. Dude that arena in Dallas has a Discount tire and a Wal-mart outside. Check for yourself on google maps. People will fly from all over the world to enjoy what ambiance? That site is NOT up to "fight of a generation" standards.

    Now we are at the meat of the matter. You are a journalist and you will happily write hit pieces about certain fighters. Then when you get evidence to the contrary you will make up empty excuses as to why you shouldn't clear the air. Journalism at its finest! :yep

    No evidence? Then why have ANY drug testing until there is evidence? All FMJ asked for was extra assurances for possibly the BIGGEST fight in boxing history. Is that an insane request? I think not. Also, we have no idea why Team Mayweather even stressed the testing. Most people point to FMS as the reason, but do we know? It could have been something said by Team Pac in negotiations like, "Well if we fail a drug test can we keep it quiet?" We don't know. One team is quiet and professional. One team is contradicting themselves CONSTANTLY. :huh

    Man I have been to South East Asian countries. Have you? With money like Manny's he could get anything he wanted. Not at all saying he did. That woudl be like a guy from Detroit getting angry that someone said you can score good heroin and crack easily. He might not like it, but it don't make it a lie.

    So what would I say? I would review the information being presented and write an appropriate piece.

    So I am going to defend floyd coming out of no where with steroid accusations and then say "based on the fact pacquiao beat oscar hatton and cotto"
    Well, he beat 2 of those guys as well, and I can't say "oh, floyd is doing too well at ww and 154"
    It's ridiculous.

    Floyd made accusations with no evidence to hurt Pacquiao's credibility. I wrote an article saying "look, this guy has done nothing suspicious except get accused of being on steroids via olympic drug testing"

    If you honestly think floyd wanted better drug testing for the sport, he sure went about it in the oddest way possible.

    I can't defend him, I couldn't defend him when he weighed 146, I got sick of defending him.
    He **** on all of us too many times.

    Let Mayweather fight Bradley then. Haven't heard anyone mention that.

    But NO I don't see MW fighting anyone of note. I'd be (happily) shocked if he fought Mosely-Berto winner (though would favor him over either).

    Honestly who could he pick and keep his March 13th date? There is barely enough time to get ready for it properly to switch opponents this late.

    He will also have an amazingly long layoff if he let's this date go. You don't let a date like this go. If he chooses any solid B+ opponent OR someone with a great draw I will be happy.

    Who do you see that ISN'T under Top Rank? Paul Williams? Do you really see him cutting to 147 without a test fight? I don't. Manny and Arum screwed up boxing royally.

    If you think that Rafael Marquez is as tough as Clottey then yes. If you actually expect him to fight someone like Clottey then no.
