I give him all the props in the world for being drug free and willing to prove it.
But he never did take the test so we'll never know. Same with Manny. Hahaha.

And when the time comes to assess his legacy, we will burn him at the stake.
Someone's taking this personally.
History will see Pacquiao as the fighter who was so good they had to make excuses for his greatness, and yet he was never proven to have done steroids.
Pac is already a top 30 ATG. This man has done stuff that nobody in over a 100yrs in boxing has done. Everything from here on out is a plus.
Floyd legacy on the other hand is incomplete... He needs to fight Pac to certify his greatness. IMO...
Awesome avatar. Godfather III (I know it sucks) is being watched in the living room right now.
LOL @ Arum acting like he's looking out for Manny. Wasn't it just a few weeks ago he was ready to throw Pac under the bus for not signing the contract? This is clearly a publicity stunt, a good one at that.
Yeah is very suspicious and Mayweather will also go tru the same tests, right? So no excuses the day of the fight from either side. Do all the test and clear your name.
LOL @ "clear your name." There is nothing to be cleared since his name hasn't been besmirched. What have they proven? Nothing. You act as if it has already been proven that Pac does steroids and it is incumbent upon him to satisfy and indulge tests that are arbitrary at best.
It seems to me somebody is still upset about November 14.

Being superstitious and being religious aren't mutually exclusive. Do some research before you make a fool of yourself.
It doesn't I agree, but for every point the plaintiff makes the defense counters. If Manny provides evidence he's clean, that evidence then comes under scrutiny ( the whole NSAC coming into question, etc.). That's usually how it goes in that good ol' courtroom back and forth.
Kudos on posting the defamation per se. Looks like I still didn't have all the info here. I was under the impression Manny also had to prove malice and accusations being false at every turn.
If that's all the above entails then it's an open and shut case all the way around.The accusations are false because Manny is, by the commission's standard, clean. Jesus christ.
The fact is that Pac can prove he is clean (NSAC tests). Can the Mayweathers prove he is not to justify the lies they have been spreading? No.
And please don't try to argue that the NSAC tests are unreliable because that would be challenging 40 year's worth of tradition and would be questioning every boxer's integrity.
I'm sorry, Pacquiao isn't that special. He is a suspected cheater.
Nothing special but you suspect he's doing PEDs because "Getting stronger has you go up in weight and putting on over 15 pounds of LEAN muscle in 3 years is UNHEARD of." LOL. You fail.
A one time representative of the Commission has stated their test isn't the most comprehensive before. I don't think, unless there's some law that says otherwise.. that something like that couldn't be challenged.
I don't mind being wrong, just show me the stuff.They can argue all they want that the commission they've never doubted before is untrustworthy; but the assumption is that it is reliable. They will have to prove that it isn't. Can they do that?
So to defend themselves from a defamation lawsuit they'll bring up rumor and gossip that Pac is cheating on his wife? That makes perfect sense. You should become a lawyer
Manny is idiotic for doing this.
His freaking strength coach is on trial right now for dealing steroids to athletes. If he doesnt want to get dragged into that mess he better withdraw the suit.That Balco article is a fake. Stop making a fool of yourself.
He looked ripped at the weigh in but he usually looks a lot thicker by fight time.
The catchweight stunted his rehydration. Freddy knows this which is why he gets the big bucks.
And yet you picked Cotto to beat Pac, didn't you?
Yup. I just don't think Pac is that good.
He's lucky Cotto was shot and weightdrained.
And overtrained.
No, what you're doing is making excuses to maintain credibility. Don't worry, though, this is not atypical among people who are dead wrong in their predictions. Just ask Burner.
This diagnosis is brought to you free of charge.
Edit: LOL at "overtrained." What will you people think of next.
You mean he can't disprove a "so called" crackhead.
What is there to disprove? You're supposed to disprove something that's proven. What has the crackhead proven? Nothing.
I don't go out of my way to bring race into things, but it's gonna look like you're right if he retires without fighting at least one.
Pac has fought at least three black fighters.
Being ranked #1 in your weight class, as well as having the lineal title at said weight class, having won two of your previous fights, and still being undefeated at your best weight: "On the downslide."
Because he would have to be tested negative to have any case , athletes dont volunteer to be tested they are all forced to , Manny is hiding something if he wont take the same tests Floyd does thats as plan as day .Have any case for what? Innocence? He's innocent until proven guilty. And this test isn't forced on any athlete, this test is a demand from the accusers, one which Pac has no responsibility to oblige since his record is clean.
Pac has tested negative for the mandatory urine tests. This test isn't mandatory. It's an arbitrary demand.
He speaks the truth. Especially this:
"On the other hand, I understand he's saying something been going on, but the problem with that is, if you're going to check him why didn't you check Marquez? Why didn't you make anybody else do it? It's kind of strange to call him out on this and nobody else.""
Indeed. I wonder why... it starts with a D...
