Keen observation, chap.
Now it's time for you to show us that infamous footage of Floyd getting knocked around and struggling with journeymen at Flyweight, Then years later moving all the way up to Welterweight and manhandling several of the top guys with ease.
There is a doc about Pac that chronicles the problems he had with weight in both of his losses.
Floyd clearly made the more intelligent decision of starting his pro career at a higher weight and had the luxury of coming from a very boxing savvy family. He was also groomed very well as a coveted amateur, where as Pacquiao fought his way out of poverty.
Either way, I fail to see what point you're making. Does Floyd being the better fighter in their late teens excuse Mayweather's ignorance and bogus reasoning about the roid accusations? :ugh1:
Who cares?
Floyd is the Money man. It's his top priority and he rakes in the cabbage.
Manny seem to give money away hand over fist.
What does their current financial worth have to do with Anything?
Give Floyd a cash cow t-shirt and a bigger suite at the hotel for fight week? :ugh:
Based on Pac and his handlers extremely odd reaction to said "roid accusations" the Mayweather's suspicions appear to be well founded.
I'll say it again... even if you feel that way does it excuse Mayweather's outright ignorance with regard to the subject he's trying to talk about?
People overlook the fact that PEDs aren't all necessarily about strength or speed. Things like blood doping (EPO) are all about endurance. I don't think so many cyclists are using PEDs so their legs can be stronger, they are using them for increased endurance. Boxing is an endurance sport.
People who make the assumption that the PED accusations are about size and speed are being naive. I have much more suspicion of Pacquiao for blood doping based on his insane endurance and work rates than I do for any type of anabolic steroids.
That is an extremely slippery slope my friend.
Are you going to break down Manny's compubox punch output (punches thrown / landed) over 12 rounds and honestly tell me that on average, they're that much different than a multitude of highly offensive fighters in the sport?
I don't buy that for a second. :lame:
Man rios got a huge neck but a slack jaw, maybe that big neck is why he can take punches well? Pacman got a big head.
It honestly just seems like the angle to me, but Rios does look like he has a thick neck. :boxing:
Post a link!

Manny has a really thin neck compared to Rios. I take it Manny doesn't do neck exercises like other elite fighters, why?
Maybe it's just the angle? :theyareon
The guy is satire at it's finest. He plays a character and plays it well. But underneath all of that he has some serious skill and he was signed by Diplo last year. His first album is set to come out in a couple months and I suspect you'll hear a lot more about him then.
While most of his videos are an over the top blend of 60/40 serious/satire, he has some gems:
With the way Roger says "That will be the BIGGEST fight for Pacquiao and for my nephew..."
I think he wants to see it.
He believes Floyd Jr. will out box Manny. Say what you want about the Mayweathers, but they're a cocky bunch.
None of the p2p page links are working as of yet.
Anyone having any luck?
Also, I've always wanted to know why the p2p site always has TVU links that have channels that I don't find on TVU when I manually open it up. Anyone know anything about how that works?
More TVU (you need a TVU player for this):
tvu://66022/
This is a perfect example of what i mean.
I open TVU and look for channel 66022, and it's not even in the channel listing.
Anyone know what that frequently happens with the p2p links?
I've found some. Post others guys!

anyone know what time this fight starts in USA time?
This looks sketchy.
Anyone know if it will be on Justintv?
There was a sports science show that monitored Chris Byrd's vital signs in training. Then he went to a room and banged his wife and came right back and his vital signs showed no change.
:boxing:
Maybe he's finally filling out in the WW division. He always looked like a smaller WW but I guess hes finally growing into the division (even though he has to make a catch weight) I attribute his weight at a almost constant 147 because hes always in shape like Bernard who rarely weighs over 175
I don't think he's ever going to be a big / solid welterweight. He's too slight. His waist is very small and aside from his arms and shoulders he looks like a light welter at best.
