do you think floyd is really scared that manny is on peds or do you think it's just an excuse?
honest opinion.
I'm of the same opinion as Bert Sugar. I don't think Floyd's scared of Manny per se, but he definitely feels he's a threat to that '0', and Floyd's '0', and his ego go hand-in-hand. For all his bravado, Floyd comes across as an insecure, immature man-child at times, and I don't think he could stand to lose his unbeaten record.
The whole 'Manny is on PEDs' story was cooked up to try and get Floyd every possible advantage going by giving Floyd the mental edge, and possibly making Manny lose focus, but it got out of hand fast. And he couldn't backtrack once he'd accused Manny of Doping and a lawsuit was filed.
He doesn't believe Manny is on PEDs IMO, but he backed himself into a corner, and he'll stay there ( Vacations, Not answering Telephone calls to make the fight ) until the whole thing dies down a little, then he'll crawl back out of the woodwork, fight two or three poor opponents, and then "Retire" again.
Doesn't really matter though - his devoted group of cheerleaders will buy his bull**** and the Benjamins will roll in.

P4P, Baby!
not a bad theory.
the dumbest part , if this is true , is that i think floyd beats manny.
it might be close to 50-50 but floyd would have the edge and be favorite to win.
the reach......the height......the styles...... it all favors floyd.
he could have just made $30-40 million and had the greatest win in his career and one of the best wins of the era.
