by deciding to duck floyd by refusing to take drug testing( i doubt he/was on PEDS, uncle bob probably didn't want manny to lose,but now he has ruined his legacy forever tainted..
Pac will have a great legacy when its all said and done....
but 2 things hurt manny's legacy
1. rejecting the drug tests the first time trying to make the floyd fight.. That is just unacceptable to walk away from the biggest fight ever over drug testing..
2. Resigning with arum, multiple times.... Manny didnt follow the blueprint that floyd and cotto have used.. Manny being an idiot and resigning with bob arum will affect his legacy because manny missed some big fight over the past 4-5 years, when he could have easily been a free agent like cotto and floyd and work with promoters on a fight by fight basis.......
floyds fans would always say that manny had avoided the blood test, they would not rather say that both camp had not agreed to the cut-off date. saying that manny avoided the blood test and not mentioning the cut-off date is not a spin- it is a lie.
people want them to fight for 5 years now. and the condition that manny leave arum is a condition that floyd demanded only recently. floyd has not mentioned it in the first negotiation, he never mentioned it when he offered manny 40 million. he never mentioned it in the 4 years that the media is interviewing him.
you should not always believe and parrot whatever floyd' d says. floyd is not articulate and always making a fool of himself in interviews- you should not repeat whatever he says.
Truth of the matter is that all involved had agreed to everything but the extra testing.. Even freddie roach is on record saying that their side dropped the ball by rejecting floyd's request..
Right or wrong, manny's legacy will always have rejecting extra testing that floyd demanded..
Why didnt he just take the extra tests,, especially now since he has done it and agreed to it... Whats changed from 09-today.. Why not accept and call floyd's bluff, but manny didnt,, He ran from extra testing that floyd wanted..
How you can pass up the biggest fight ever over extra drug testing
i can't see why the earth stopped turning and revolving for you regarding pac's alleged refusal on the drug testing....
as if pac's & floyd's careers already ended with that....and about then...
i can't see why after pac agreed to such test floyd won't still fight him and threw so many obstacles to the fight...or...
the earth really stopped turning and revolving for you and you can not move on!...

think about this: when ever they got interviewed the reporters almost always ask each about the other. pacquiao is calling out floyd and called him scared. and floyd always has an alibi in not making the fight such as "manny just wanted it for money". i got a large collection of 80's music videos downloaded from youtube, im sure some people had downloaded and save floyds interviews with his alibis. those videos will serve as a good reference why the 2 best boxer in this generation havent fought. even if you yourself decided to write a book writing that manny avoided floyd, people will always upload videos of floyds alibis easily disproving your book. floyd's legacy will be tainted not manny's.

the fact that you have to refer to freddie roach means you already lost the argument.
freddie roach HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FIGHT NEGOTIATIONS. NONE WHATSOEVER.
His opinion on what transpired is as good as any retard on nsb. He had nothing to do with fight contract negotiations. that's between arum, michael koncsz, and pacquiao which all took place in the philippines.
how many star fighters does roach train along with other under the radar fighters as well as running wildcard?
do you seriously think he would know the intricacies and details of that fight negotiations?
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
He only said what a lot of people think, that pac should have taken the test. he didnt have any intimate knowledge of the fight negotiations.
What pac did was not bow down to floyd's demand. not the testing. it was a point of pride for pacquiao. he was insulted that he had to prove himself to floyd.

You can flip it and say floyd money mayweather why you allow your biggest money making dance partner manny to walk away when he gave you the leverage on everything except testing? Its just an ego thing at that point, or you really are that afraid of the little dude. Of course most Floyd fans won't see it that way. I think it was more about ego or just not wanting the fight altogether than just testing. He had to know that manny wasn't going to just let him buttf### him there.
Pac legacy as a great fighter was secure long before that. What was ruined was his earning power. I'll bet Pac/Arum wouldn't pass on that 40 million today.
i disagree with #1 strongly.
pac has NEVER REFUSED ANY TEST AND PASSED ALL TESTS his sport's RULING BODY REQUIRED OF HIM.
I dont hold it all against pac that he rejected floyd's b*tch request. The floyd request for extra testing was just one of the many thing they could not agree about.
#1 is a floyd talking point SAA. you're a better poster than that.

Guys you're all being irrational!
Floyd Mayweather wanted the fight, Pacquiao only had to drop his promoter, join TMT, suck Mayweathers tiny knob and convert to African American and THEN just then he would of got the fight... It was that simple yo.
Floyd has been ducking Manny for years, Canelo at 154, he even ducked Maidana's gloves. Go run along now.............

:lol1::lol1::lol1:
of course manny's legacy(if you can call it that) took a a huge hit from avoiding the drug testing in 2010. saying he was afraid of needles (having tatoos) and crying about floyd being bigger and having blood drawn affecting him.
manny is a liar through and through and he will never be on the level of floyd period.
manny can never and i mean never win two titles at 154 and 147 at the same damn time. and come may of next year floyd will have the WBC 160, 154, and 147 titles at the same time..now eat on that haters.
Dumb post. Red K sent. Manny is the only 8 division champion in boxing history and appears to have more gas in the tank than Floyd. Hahaha. He is getting the last laugh right now. And guess what? The show is not over just yet. He is going to **** up whoever they put in front of him, next. Why is Floyd fighting Maidana again is a better question? He won but got embarrassed in the process. Smh. He struggled with a C Level fighter. Manny would straight beat the **** outta Maidana. Manny is faster, more athletic, and is the best fighter of this era.
green k on the way, bro.
floyd spastics are not to be taken seriously.
they're fond of fantasies. :haha:
:bigeyes:
Manny turned down Floyd twice and Floyd's the ducker? That doesn't even make sense no matter how you try and spin it. Just admit you hate the man so we can move on.
Oh dear oh dear, we have a butthurt floydspastic, a racist one at that.:sad:
Yes Pacquiao did ruin his legacy for either being a YES man to Bob or greedy for money by taking pointless rematch fights/not top fighters : Margarito, Mosley, Rios,.
That KO by Marquez gave his haters so much ammo against him, he should have never taken that 4th fight nor 3rd. I remember there were rumors of him just sitting out until he got that Floyd fight, which he should have just done. Should have just waited to fight floyd especially after the margarito fight. his legacy was on top of the world at that time
Pacquiao's legacy is solid. His accomplishments will put him up there with the greats I believe. If he doesn't get a crack at beating Mayweather, it doesn't taint his overall body of
work imo. I like PacMan because he really put a spark in boxing that seemed to be missing once guys like Mike Tyson started fading. I like how he came back after the Marquez knockout, beat a p4p guy in Bradley and got himself back on top, something that guys like Roy Jones couldn't quite accomplish.
As far as the drug allegations, the media has moved on because hey man there just isn't solid proof that sticks. The Mayweather's and their flock keep beating that dead horse. Logical thinking folks got better things to do.
