    One other thing about Floyd, and his never being considered the best.

    If you are the best, you take on ALL comers. You don't puss out and come up with excuses why you will not fight this guy or that guy.

    Mayweather has pussed out and refused to fight boxers. This is NOT the mentality of an all time greatest. Fvcking Jake Lamotta was a beast, and would fight anybody, anytime. The man knew no fear. Unlike Mayweather.

    I try not to call anyone who gets into a professional ring with no protection at all but a cup "scared". I don't think Floyd has been the least bit scared of manny at all. He has said he "feared for his health", but that's because the guy was jacked up on PED's". Can I prove this as fact? No, however I do know that his strength coach has previously had 2 guys he trained in the hospital with "liver problems"... there are several things that cause liver problems, but we ALL know what does do it ;-). If i'm a fighter and i'm clean.. I want to make sure the other guy is as well. manny ducked and dodged real testing since the whole thing started up. Remember, back in 2009 Floyd agreed to ALL of manny's demands INCLULDING 10 million dollars per each lb overweight! You don't think that might have been a way to try to get out of a fight with Floyd on manny's side? Once Floyd agreed, the contract was signed on his side. manny refused random testing unless the cut off was at 28 or 30 days. It was then shown on 24/7 that he tested up to 21 days before the fight with Hatton. Floyd then said 14 days and manny backed out of the biggest fight in history... instead of people placing the blame on Floyd, they should see through their hate for him (and it's easy to hate him) and see all of the facts. freddie roach has been connected several times with fighters who have used PED's by the way. Remember Justin Fortune?

    manny's excuses include:
    scared of needles (they talked about his tattoos)
    He countered with "he is superstitious about his blood being taken and feels that it weakens him" though it's about a tablespoon according to the USADA.
    roach then came out and said "I won't let manny take the tests".
    manny sued Floyd, his Father and Uncle because of their comments. Why sue someone? Why not say... i'll take the tests and and kick your ass for running your mouth about it?
    supposed emails got to several people (Teddy Atlas being one) that had supposedly said "would it be able to be kept quiet if the tests were to come out positive". ummm ok?
    manny and his guys come out and say they will do testing before Floyd goes to jail.
    At one point, Floyd tweeted that he wanted to fight manny and said "let's give the world what they want to see" The response from bob arum was that they wanted to build a stadium because it would bring more money. As if the fight wouldn't have done at the very least 2.5 million ppv buys. Here's the quote

    "Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see," he tweeted.

    Mayweather is available for a fight in May at the MGM Grand Garden after a judge agreed last week to postpone his jail sentence for domestic violence until June. Mayweather was sentenced to 87 days in jail, but likely will serve less time.

    The MGM Grand seats about 17,000, which could fetch around $20 million in sales, but the larger arena could raise an additional $30 million, Koncz said.

    "Why would I tell Manny to fight on the 5th and throw away a percentage of 30 million? That's crazy," he said.



    Floyd at any time would have embarassed manny and the way Marquez just flattened him proved that. Marquez fought Floyd and won 1 round at most. After a year and a half lay off I will add. The truth is manny can only use boxing skills when it comes to stationary targets, he throws off balance shots and leaps in... his defense has gotten better, but obviously he gets hit to much and will be lucky if he is ever the same after being completely out for over a minute. A fighter isn't usually the same after a KO like that. freddie roach has now lost Khan after back to back loses, he's on a losing streak. He was not a pure boxer when he was a fighter and the truth is he has no idea how to beat a truly elite pure boxer.
