pacquiao the *****

i made that statement in my sig months ago because i knew him and his camp would ***** out

lol I dare you to call Pac a "*****" to his face instead of a message forum.

There only one opponent everyone wants to see Pacman square-off against. Think we all know who that is!

When did gayweather set the rules. Last I checked it was up to the NSAC to oversee the drug testing. F gayweather he is a chump. He is so concerned about fair play I guess thats why he didnt give a crap about making weight when he fought marquez. If and when they fight Pac by Ko in 6 rounds.

Everyone knows the NSAC testing is a joke. USADA has far more stringent standards.

Floyd fans don't have that much room to talk though, because rumor has it he may fight Matthew Hatton or Saul Alvarez.

M Hatton is a joke....i agree. I'm quite sure floyd is desperate to have a fight in the UK given the reception he got there on his last trip. He has plenty of fans there and wants to reward them. As i said previously though if this is the case Floyd should fight Mosley @ wembley stadium with GBP handling the majority of promotion in USA and bring in Rick Hatton (as partner) and his team to handle the majority of promotions in the UK. It could be a huge event.

Main event: Mayweather vs Mosley

Undercards:

Hatton vs Marquez

Khan vs cherry picked opponent by Roach

Matt Hatton vs cab driver


I think it could really work.

Hate to say it, but Manny is ducking Floyd

Hahaha. Dude Mannys own mother has said she is worried about what will happen to her son if he fights PBF. I honestlyt believe Pac does not want this fight. If i was in his p[osition i would want floyd right know.......right now is prime time to beat floyd.....

Too many solid fighters at 140/147 for Pac to challenge Foreman for yet another trinket (belt). Eight divisions mean nothing if this is the road he chooses. Cherry picking 101.

As far as the Manny-Floyd clusterfcuk, both camps could have handled it with more professionalism, especially Team Pacquiao.

I still think it'll get done. But Mosely-Mayweather is the fight I want.

Co-sign. I want May vs Sugar. If PBF beats Mosley and Pac fights a bum like Foreman for a 154 title @ 148 in the interim it will increase PBF leverage in future negotiations for this fight. Why? He would have beaten who many consider the best WW in the world in Mosley + legacy would be 100% secure.

For the record i don't have a problem with catchweights. They allow us to see fights that mite not ordinarily happen. They have been around for some time. I do however have a problem with titles being on the line @ a catchweight. That is total BS. In days past if a 135 ponder wanted a shot at 147 titilist they could have it, but guess what the guy @ 47 is allowed to come in @ 47.......it was up to the guy @ 35 to decide to come up to 140-47 and weigh what he felt comfortable with.

what this story says is Pacquaio had no intention of fighting Mayweather. He planned on forcing Yuri Foreman to come down in weight to fight him at a catchweight until the public and HBO demanded he negotiate with Mayweather. It's obvious Pac and Arum wanted an easy fight to help him win the election and wanted no part of Mayweather. That is what I have been saying since the Cotto fight ended.

The NSAC does their own testing. The agreement to have Olympic style testing was an agreement between Mayweather and Pac and had nothing to do with NSAC. Also, neither Arum, Roach, Pac or your ****** ass objected to it when it was first mentioned as part of the contract several weeks ago. When they fight, Mayweather will KO Pac by round 9 and you and the others haters will immediately come on this site and say Pac was too small or was distracted by the argument over the drug test or some other bull**** excuse.

We can reflect upon the year in boxing and invent many categories to base congratulations upon but here is one that I believe is the most compelling. I call it the “Schmuck of the Year Award” and it goes to non other then the ridiculously arrogant and spoiled Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Why? Who else could surround himself with people who create a rumor that forces the best fighter on the planet to dismiss him due to slanderous falsehoods, thus depriving said pugilist (Mayweather) of a 30 Million dollar plus pay night.
So Manny Pacquiao uses steroids? Some folks will believe anything they wish if it serves their hated. This drug accusation created exactly the reaction that the Mayweathers hoped for. Floyd has been blaming others for not playing by his rules all of his non competitive life. Only months ago, he paid Marquez to engage in a prize fight, two weight divisions over his head and then gave away another $600,00 when "Money" decided to break the weight agreement for that contest. And he has the nerve to assert that Manny "might" be cheating? Grow up.
Anyone not paying attention to the reality of the Mayweather demands knows little of a Boxers mentality when it comes to cheap shot accusations at this level of the game. Floyd’s greatest punishment shall be very simple. Until he comes to what senses he has left, he just won't get paid.
Without Manny he will simply become just another loud mouthed, bankrupt fool with nowhere to run.
Manny /Mayweather may very well have been a bore regardless.. Pac could chase him for 12 stanzas and win a decision based on aggression and ring generalship. Pac is too fast and Floyd is too cautious. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a great boxer but Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter. That is the difference between these two athletes.
Would Floyd have been able to divert the attack of a Julio Cesar Chavez in his prime?
I think not. And he will not be able to deal with the speed and power that are simply the natural gifts Manny has been awarded at multiple weights. Did Barney Ross, Ray Robinson or Henry Armstrong have performance enhancing chemicals at their disposal? No one questioned their uncanny abilities to go up and down in weight with astounding results.
I have a suggestion for the “Money” man. Let’s see what Floyd can do against Cotto. That would be a great barometer to detect where each man stands and it would keep Floyd busy. Cotto's heart will always sell tickets. Floyd's will not. And there is the rub. Floyd’s opponents must be true fighters to counter balance his lack of aggression if tickets sales are to be of consequence.
He creates the perception that his bouts will be filled with risk and excitement.
Manny carves out his victories. Floyd dances into triumph but without the grace of a Pernell Whitaker.
Manny will walk away from the cash of a Mayweather contest before he allows a needle to be injected in his arm two hours prior to doing battle. I respect that. He has conceded to every other drug test connected request.
Lennox waved goodbye when asked to fight Vitali once more. Some prize fighters are more concerned with their legacy and beliefs as opposessd to finance once greatness has beckoned and they have accumulated a well earned fortune.. Men such as these rarely get greedy if they have been responsible to their sport as well as their finances.
Floyd says he is all about the “Money.” Yeah. Sure. The pounds in his pockets are getting lean and his status as the best, pound for pound in the world, is at number 4 at best. After the Martinez clash I must assign that number 2 position to the great Paul Williams and the third to the remarkable Shane Mosely. These are fighters who also know how to box.
Lastly, the worst thing Floyd Jr. could have done was to have allowed his old man back into the fold. With lunatic Uncle Roger running around, there is only room for one disrespectful, arrogant bum per camp.
So keep blaming Manny. He conducts himself with honor, respect and pride within as well as out of the sport of boxing. These have never been Mayweather goals.

This is a well educated post, unfortunately you don't get that too much in here. And the comment with one bum per camp was priceless. The time you spent writing this blog has to get a positive review. Good thoughts and this definitely sums up this "blown out of proportion fight." I am glad Pacquiao is holding his own. Hopefully he moves on and fight Mosley, until the Mayweathers can stop horsing around and start using common sense. All of a sudden little Pacman is on steroids, because he's reached his peak and clearing out the division like Iron Mike, now that is absurd, but we all know Mayweather cannot take a lick and scared in his britches. If Zab was in any shape that night then Mayweather would have been lost that zero so now its Manny time to finish what Judah started. Hopefully Sr. put that pipe down and stop convincing the other lames about this ****** steroid accusation.
