An Unbiased Look At Pacquiao-Mayweather

[IMDAZED]

Really now...

Okay, he's not asking, so how about refuting what those two just posted and the link was also provided.

Refute what? Do you have something to say?

I have avoided this topic since it began, mostly because it was and is beaten to death. But after reading many people claim Pacquiao ducked Mayweather, I felt the need to post this and see what others thought.

First of all, I am a bigger Pacquiao fan than Mayweather. I own both career sets on DVD, and if Mayweather had of stayed with the same style he utlized at Jr. LW and LW, hands down Floyd would be my guy. Regardless, I have a lot of respect for both. They are clearly superior to the majority of their peers.

However, to claim Pacquiao is ducking Mayweather is fairly comical. Since Mayweather moved up in weight, he has hand picked nearly all of his opponents. His "fights" vs De La Hoya and Marquez were hard to watch, even for a hardcore fan. I appreciate the mastery in which he conducts his craft, shutting down opponents and not getting hit. However, his offense is horrible, and his pot shotting is also a disgrace to his talents. His performance vs Corrales (RIP) shows what he is capable of, but he would rather coast and put the audience to sleep.

From his interviews you can see he is in awe of Pacquiao's talents. Claiming he "has to be on something to be doing what he's doing" etc. shows where Floyd's head is at. Talking about the possibility of "dieing in the ring" are comments I have never, throughout Floyd's career, heard him discuss. Demanding olympic style drug tests is bull****. Not the idea itself (it would be great if olympic tests were as accurate as people think, they are not, i.e. Usain Bolt, but still are better than the commission tests). The problem with Floyd demanding that is it sets a precedent for boxers to go outside of their own sanctioning bodies and create their own rules. Hence, making the boxer bigger than the sport.

There is no way Pacquiao is ducking the test. You don't agree to 21 days and say no to 14 because you fear a fail, it's posturing over Mayweather's desire to make himself bigger than the sport. Different cultures bring different beliefs, and Pacquiao is of the age old Phillipino tradition that believes blood loss (even a small dose) makes you weak. It's mental, it's documented, and it should be respected. He was willing to do a test right after the fight as well, so to think he is somehow scared of Mayweather or the test is fairly ludicrous.

Listening to Roger and the rest of the Mayweather clan talk about Pacquiao being on some "secret drug the Phillipino military uses to walk through bullets"" etc. shows you where the true fear lies. If this fight does not get made, it is because Mayweather somewhere along the line (I think the Judah fight where he was getting it for the first 5 rounds) lost his supreme confidence. Look at his performance vs De La Hoya. Even against Hatton before the KO. I expect Floyd to walk through Mosley (a fight he conveniently takes after Mosley has been inactive for 16 months) but I don't expect Floyd to ever take on Pacquiao. As long as he can play the steroid card and make ridiculous demands outside of his own sporting sanctions he will avoid the fight. And the saddest part is the sheep that eat it up and allow him to do so.

If he feel it was a good read...so be it. Everyone has different opinions on things, so why flame someone just because they differ in opinion from you?

Ive brought just as much as you... Zero ****in sources, and an opinion.

Excellent post and if I had some more green K I would give you more. Best post of the week man...

Much respect my man. I appreciate all the kind words from you and the rest of the boxingscene members. Thanks.

DazedNConfused...the 84 day window is in regards to HGH. That is the major PED. Blood doping and blood transfusions are not really detectable, unless they monitor the athletes blood levels for a year. As the link YOU provided stated. Two problems. A) Even the winter Olympics in Vancouver weren't up to snuff on that yet. B)Only Mayweather feels that all of this testing is needed. Not any other pro boxer, and not any state athletic commission which actually SANCTIONS the fights. So Pacquiao's blood levels would not be monitored for a year, thus making that point meaningless, thus making the refusal to fight Pacquiao over 10 days (24 day cut off date to 14) ridiculous. Thanks.

The logic to green k someone for lieing doesnt sit well with me.

There is no limit to where testing can be done. This mysterious 30 day limit from a mysterious pamphlet.

There are ways to speed up clearing your system for testing. Yet he says there isn't..

Okay i get it, you can't refute what the TS just said.

Now you're focusing on me trying to divert the issue it's becoming laughable as you're now getting exposed again you resort to what others do also.

LOL

THIS JUST BECAME ANOTHER ***** OWNAGE THREAD!

I'll leave, for now...

Maybe you should read the post above to further educate yourself instead of catching feelings like a little *****.
