(video) Reporter: "Floyd, why didn't you do the blood testing before Pacquiao?"

[shade darkar]

he chats some ****. and some1 needs to drop the anchor on ellerbe, he a fcuking gay mAyweather bum chum.

Pacquiao was never 'ordinary'. That's a BS statement Floyd's been tossing around and morons like you believe it. Fact is, Pacquiao was a WBC flyweight champion aged 20. By aged 23 he had unified two world titles at super-bantamweight. He defended his IBF strap several times before moving naturally to featherweight to seek bigger fights. Sure, he was beaten twice when he was younger, coming up; twice succumbing to body shots. But he improved. He got stronger. He was always an explosive, aggressive fighter. Working with Roach refined his style and they've improved fight-by-fight. I don't know why people start accusing him of roids just because of the manner in which he's beaten other fighters. With his speed and power, he was always a great fighter, but Roach has him moving in and out, practising defence and bobbing and weaving. They're a great team. He beat DLH and Hatton, like Floyd - another fighter who'd come from a small weight class, did but he's the one accused of steroids. Surely he would have been caught at some point, like Fernando Vargas was caught, like other boxers have been caught; I know the NSAC has its critics, but if Floyd wants to accuse Manny of steroid usage he should appeal to the commission.

I have no quarrel with what you've said, and I do not accuse Manny of being a juicer, but you do know why Arum & Roach both say that they will take the tests if approved by the NSAC, right? The NSAC is a state-funded organization, and if you are familiar with the types of deficits that most states are facing right now, then there is no way they are going to approve the new testing which would require a significant increase in funding. Even in good economic times the additional testing would be tough to swallow. For big fights the money would not be an issue, but when you take into account the club fights that are also regulated by the commission then you see that the additional testing is probably not feasible.

[Easy-E]

it's obvious that you *****s can't accept the fact that pacuaio has improved and became a better skilled boxer.

Pac has improved and is a more skilled boxer.
However, his increase in power moving up in weight and his reluctance to take a blood test is su****ious in my opinion.

[Kilrain]

hes said it in his own words. nobody goes from ordinary to extraordinary at 25 he has fears im positive of that or he wouldnt demand accurate random blood testing to ensure a fair fight if he didnt. but fighters have egos even manny. if manny really had doubts he could beat somebody do you think he would admit it? no

Fair enough. But surely you can see it from Pacquiao's standpoint also. He DID genuinely blame his first Morales loss on a blood test; it's a mental thing, it's in his head that that is the reason he lost, because he was weakened. Some people don't respond well to blood tests and feel weakened for a couple of days; others are fine. Why agree to this blood testing, which is not Commission-approved, when a blood test could throw off your training for a couple of days, prior to the biggest fight...well, ever?

everyone increases power moving up.

it comes from cutting less weight and being heavier.



besides pacquiao hasn't really shown amazing power at 147.

he couldn't ko either delahoya or cotto.

he hit delahoya with everything and couldn't even hurt him.

he dropped cotto but cotto doesn't have the greatest chin.

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Manny just needs to take the test so all of this could go away. If not then this will be talked about until he is old and gray

[WAR MOSLEY]

hahahahaha

What a clown this Floyd guy is.


I hate that piece of **** with passion.

Well, I think he loses me with that reasoning. I think he's much better off sticking with the "not Commission-approved" angle. I think alot of people can deal with it better if they view it as Mayweather trying to push Pac around with his demands instead of him not liking blood tests.

he should have just done it.

but the guy is hardheaded.

plus i think roach and arum didn't really want the fight to happen.

if they really wanted it , roach and arum could have made the fight happen.

Well, that's ur opinion. But both are valid. Maybe if you were a fighter with a hang-up over blood tests during rigorous training/sparring before the biggest fight the world has ever seen, and you didn't HAVE to take the blood tests, you are no. 1 pound-for-pound already, a seven weight world champion and you can make millions of dollars fighting other opponents... you'd make the same decision Pac has? Especially when Mayweather is making unprecedented demands and defaming you publicly, bismerching your name and character. You might hit him with a lawsuit, like Pac did. Think about it
