Acting this way demeans him. If he doesn't want to fight Pacquiao because he truly believes in his heart that Pacquiao is using performance enhancing drugs, then say so. It will disappoint millions of fans worldwide, many of whom are his fans, but it's his choice to fight whomever he wants.
And in what can truly be a life-or-death situation like boxing, no one could blame him if he said no to a fight if he is convinced Pacquiao is doping

Good call by Iole
We will all understand Floyd if he really thinks Pac is a doper and too dangerous to risk his life against in the ring. But he needs to make a decision on him after Pac-JMM fight and stop stringing his own fans along.
I'm chiming late but Floyd has already made a decision - he will keep coming up with excuses to not fight Pac. I think Floyd would beat Pac. Both men would have to work but Floyd is better skilled. Dude sees something we don't see.
Iole is right on the money. I'm a fan of Floyd but his answers to the Pac fight question have been suspect and have not made him look good. He said he would fight Pac next to kickoff the "star power" promotion were optimistic and direct..."and yes, Pacquiao you are next." Now it's all this other BS.
Floyd has a good team...they could come out and say to the media exactly what terms theyd be willing to accept, but it's always some BS.
And oh, by the way, Arum and Pac are no better. THey're all punks when it comes to this fight.
