Manny Pacquiao is so full of it, he stinks. He had a chance to face Mayweather back in March. The deal was on the table: 50/50 split, 14 day cut off on testing and the weight clause. Mayweather agreed to all of Manny's terms & Manny said NO WAY, ILL FIGHT CLOTTEY. Everyone said Floyd was ducking. 4 months later Manny is so called "agreeing" to terms that are no longer there and people are now saying "FLoyd, is holding up the fight". How can someone in there right mind say or think something so foolish? If the fight was 50/50 before Manny fought Pac & Floyd faught Mosley. How can it still be 50/50 when Pac did 700k and floyd did roughly 1.3?? Manny doesnt want to fight floyd. He wants to play child games to make it seem like he's really interested in a floyd fight when we know he isnt. His true plan is to face cotto, a guy who he just brutally beat in Nov, not even a year ago. He wants his eight title for free. Top rank is a joke, roach is a joke, Manny is a joke, Cotto is a joke, Margartio is a joke, clottey is a joke. Arum is fighting his fighters over and over cleaning house. Im sick of top rank and their kid games.

Mayweather vs Oscar currently holds the record for most buys which generated roughly 2.4 ot 2.5 million buys. Considering the fact that Oscar & Floyd have both been on PPV numerous times thus had something to sale. I think that if this fight happens it will either barely break the record or slightly miss it. I think this fight is also another HYPED up fight that will fall short to livng up to that HYPE. I think we will see will be dominated by one fighter from the 3rd on. What do u guys think?

When FLoyd & Manny sat down at the table to negotiate the biggest fight in history, I just knew it was too good to be true. I knew Money Mayweather wasnt going to agree to a 50/50 split, & I thought the 10 million for every pound over weight was bogus. Floyd thought other wise and agreed to terms many thought he would used to not fight. They were wrong! THe fight was a signature away from being made when all of a sudden blood testing became a HUGE ISSUE. I like to think that people are innocent until proven guilty. I also believe you can be assumed innocent but incriminate yourself by talkng way too much. In the case of Manny Pacquiao I always thought he was innocent until he came with excuse after excuse on why he couldnt test instead of just saying "I just dont want to test". Excuses I heard thus far on why Manny Pacquiao shouldnt test: 1) Scared of needles 2) Giving blood weakens him for several days 3) Against his religion 4) Thats why he lost to Erik 5) The commission doesnt require it 6) I can get aids, Hiv, Hematomas, etc 7)Mosley and FLoyd had a 18 day cut off 8) Floyd never requested this from anyone else 9)I lose day 13 &14 in sparring I feel as though an athlete in an all contact sport should be willing and egar to submit blood. I have a hard time understanding why Manny wouldnt want to know whats in Floyds system as well. Not everyone is a cheater, stealer, or murderer. But not everyone is charlie's angles either so we have to test and show that we are clean because "actions speak louder then words". I think these fighters have made the testing issue bigger then the fight and that is CRAZY!!!!

I still say as an athlete thats in a contact sport you should be willing to submit blood. He should be just as egar to know whats in floyds system come fight night. Not saying Manny is guilty but I believe his reasons for not testing are ridiculous!

Pacquiao claims to want Cotto if the Floyd fight doesnt happen. I dont buy that, Pacquiao wants Cotto right now to claim his eight title for free. Nobody in their right state of mind would pay to see Pac vs Cotto II given they just fought not even a year ago. Cotto is the same cotto and Pacman is the same Pacman, the out come would be the same, COtto getting his head smashed in. I do feel as though Cotto vs Margarito II is called for even though cotto took a monsterous beating. Granted the outcome would probably be the same do to Margarito pressure fighting style, cotto owes it to himself to take that chance after being possibly cheated the first match. Cotto vs Margarito might sell but it could also flop seeing as though both fighters are coming off rebound fights after getting brutally ko'd. Mayweather vs Pac needs to happen, Berto vs Paul needs to happen, bradley vs Alexander needs to happen...A lot of fights need to be made but only few make sense. Pac vs Cotto is a failure if ever made.. Pac vs Margarito is another failure fight if ever made... Its time to get Mayweather & Pac in the ring...winner takes all

James Kirkland is set to be free Oct 2, 2010. THe current prospects at 154 will scatter like roaches when he hits the scene. Miguel Cotto who currently holds a strap at 154 will cut weight back to 147 (if he isnt already) when Kirkland is let loose. Paul Williams will also come back down to 147 including Martinez. Paul, Cotto , & Martinez will avoid James at all cost. None of them will move up to middle weight to face fighters like Andre Dirrell, Kessler, Froch, Abraham etc. So they have no choice but to come back down in weight. Let the DUCKING begin!

Its been said over and over that FLoyd is ducking Manny Pacquiao. How can floyd be considered a ducker when...... 1)His whole purpose in coming back to the sport was to face Manny Pacquiao. 2) Floyd originally wanted testing to go up until the fight, Manny refused and Floyd TRIED to get the fight made by allowing him a 14 day cut off. 3) Floyd agreed to all of Manny's terms, 50/50 split etc. If it was up to floyd the fight would've been of happened back in March. Now Manny is agreeing when Floyd stated in feb that his mind had changed on the amount of Money...I'd say Manny is holding the fight up AGAIN!

FLoyd Mayweather Jr 6 time world champ in 5 different weight classes needs to give Pac & his fans what they been waiting for, which is the worst ass whooping Manny Pacquiao will receive this decade. Then after he beats Manny Pacquiao in a loopsided, landslide fight he needs to finish Miguel Cotto off for good. I was huge fan of both Miguel Cotto & Manny Pacquiao but all this bias talk & awards just drives me insane. Everyone who witness Miguel Cotto fight last night is going CRAZY like Cotto just got his second wind. Had Mayweather went up to fight Yuri Foreman people would've been PISSED! For one Yuri Foreman hasnt fought anybody. The guy has soft hand like Paulie but everyone is blowing cotto up like he beat a big top notch fighter. Yuri Foreman had one leg that whole fight. He was slipping and sliding like a goose on ice at CRYSTAL LAKE. Heres the thing; If floyd would've fought Yuri Foreman his legacy would've been tarnished. Now people are praising Cotto for using his jab saying "He's Back". If floyd fights him (Cotto) & embarrasses him, they'll say what i been saying "Cotto is damaged". But its okay for Pac to fight him again. Before Floyd picked Mosley to fight, Mosley was tied up with 25 year old Berto & everyone was excited for that fight giving Mosley the edge in the fight due to power & speed from Mosley. (Funny how Floyd at 33 was considered too young for mosley) Until the earthquake and berto pulled out. Floyd was looking for an opponent with Paulie being a choice, Nate Campbell etc. The fans laughed and said "FLoyd is a bitch if he fights either or" Khan Fought paulie and stopped him in the later rounds. After that thread after thread after thread was poping up like Viruses "Khan jab will kill Floyd", "Khan vs Floyd needs to happen". Boxing fans are a joke to me, there so against floyd is sickening. Line them up Pac, Cotto, Paul, Berto, Khan...For the right split Floyd kicks all they asses like they stole something. Floyd needs to stop being stubborn and clean the division out to shut everyone up. Funny thing is even if he fights all those names...it still wont be good enough!

I must admit, i've read some pretty funny threads about Floyd Mayweather Jr ducking Manny by say "i'm taking a year or 2 off". Until Floyd Mayweather Jr actually announces a retirement I'll stick behind my fighter 100%. I honestly feel that Floyd says things to play mind games or to get under people skin. I think if Floyd was actually retiring the WORLD would know by now. The fans need to chill out and see what happens. The fight has already fell through once over stupid reason & still isnt made yet. So give the two fighters time to sit down and negotiate the fight. When Manny was in the hospital , floyd fans jumped all over that saying he had stomach pains due to drug usage. Then when word came out about the 18 day cut off the Manny fans jumped on that. THis is starting to be a comic relief...I just seen a video of floyd crying lmao...lets just wait to see what happens.

The Puerto Rican star Miguel Cotto is set to fight Foreman the undefeated jewish fighter at 154 today. Given the fact that I dont know too much about foreman, I dont think he's been tested yet. I give cotto the edge in this fight due the fighters he has fought in the past. With that being said I still say Cotto should hang them up because if he beats Foreman who does he fight next? I cant see him fighting & beating Paul williams or Martinez at 154. I cant see him returning to 147, fightng and beating Pacquiao or Mayweather or Margarito (if he rematches either fighter). I dont think Steward can transform cotto into something else at this particular time in cottos career. I think he should hang it up and keep what ever health he has left and live happily with his family. I could be wrong about Foreman. Foreman being the bigger guy could pressure Cotto and it could be Cotto vs Margarito one all over again, and as a fan of cottos I would feel bad to witness that whooping again.

Floyd Mayweather Jr doesnt need a piece of paper telling him he is the fighter of the year or of the decade. The boxing world knows who the best fighter was 13 years ago, 8 years ago, and even today. Nothing has changed but the boxings new fan based. Rodger Mayweather doesnt need Trainer of the decade to tell that his fighter hasnt lost. The Proof is in the pudding. Floyd beat Oscar at 154 & Roach was his trainer, he beat Mosley the WW champ and N.Richardson was his trainer. So once again, these biases awards is not needed to prove a point. Boxing needs Mayweather because with out him there is no drama, there is no mega bouts, there is no substance surrounding the sport. Everyone wants to know who FLOYD will fight. They including Manny fans die to see Floyd in action.

Floyd Mayweather Jr the 6 time world champ which should be 7 time world champ in 5 different weight classes, had he took shanes belt is here to stay. After being asked "When will he fight Pacquiao"? during a "Make a Wish Interview". Floyd replied "I'm not worried about Pac and I'll take a year or so off. Fans need to realize that from the time these fighters wake up in the moring, to the time the go back to sleep, their probably asked over a million times "when will you fight Pacquaio, or when will you fight floyd"? Theres a time and a place for questions like that & I dont think "Make a wish" was an appropreiate place for that question. Here you have a kid fighting for his life battling cancer & wanting to live out his last few days to the fullest. Here you have Floyd trying to grant this kid his wish of meeting him & making him happy. Instead of the interviewer asking "how can we help more kids"? or coming up with a plan to raise more money to help sick people that cant help themselves, he want to know when the Floyd vs Pacquiao fight is taking place. That is the wrong place and the wrong time for questions like that. So when you ask a dumb question expect a dumb answer. Floyd & Pacquiao have signed gag orders to not talking about the fight negotiations to the media. IF that is the case then why would floyd sign that to only retire? I wouldnt be surprised if this fight doesnt take place sometime between Sept or Nov. I wouldnt be shocked if we even get Floyd vs Cotto in Dec 2010! or Beginning 2011.

Now i could be wrong. I could be 100% off and dont know shit about UFC. But the fight i just seen was no fight at all. They hugged for 3 rounds straight. UFC should be ashamed of putting that fight on PPV. I feel that fans were robbed with no gun and should be given their money back at once. Im at a lost of words right now. These guys (Rampage & Evans) had to be buddies. Whats your thoughts??? Oh and boxing isnt going anywhere!

I just want to say how much i really love you guys (no homo). It has really been a pleasure arguing back and forth on who is the better fighter: Floyd or Manny. In reailty both fighters are amazing, both fighters are true warriors who carry themselves in different ways in & outside the ring. The thing about this these fighters that seperates them from others is the love factor. You either love them or you hate them & when you love them u love them hard. When you hate them you hate them hard. And we can go back and forth and say which fighter fought someone old, or who was damaged etc. This is boxing, and as long as these fighters been fighting they're bound to fight someone old, damaged, short, small, tall, big etc. But as fans we've been arguing with each other for the last 2 years for that one special moment. The "I told you so" moment. The question has been what will floyd do if he wins or what will Manny do if he wins? I think the real question is what will the fans do after either or wins because win lose or draw, I dont think there will ever be two fighters that brings the boxing world together again in such fashion. So until that day, lets keep boxing alive and keep the arguments flowing between parties!

Hey boxing world I've been reading articles here and there from outside sources, but nothing sketched in stone from Floyd. Whats the status on Floyd Mayweather and his stance on the Manny fight? Is he considering Manny or Martinez or anyone else? Let me know....please leave legit answers and NO OPINIONS!!
