did you see that Manny said something to Cotto on the weight in tonite? he saw an angry Cotto and seems like he said: "take it easy tiger,don't get mad" i think he is afraid.
i got to agree with southpaw.i just hope they don't over trained Cotto too. i think Cotto is going to win this fight,but after that he should get a better trainer.
verdugo: LIke I said before, FLoyd will find a way out of this fight.
He's a coward.
are you for real?? you think that agreeing to a 10 millions for pound penalty is a smart way to find a way out of this fight??? now it is ridiculous to get out of this fight with the excuse of the blood tests.who's the coward here?
I am not overreaching, the test is nothing more than a ploy to make Pac come in less than 100% by disrupting his training routine with the Test. Floyd Sr. initial allegation is nothing more than a setup for this Olympic Test demand by the Mayweather. That one is pretty obvious to me...
hahahahahahaha. i can't believe this!
i have heard some pretty lame excuses of why Pac is refusing to take the blood tests.Pac is afraid of needles...Pac is superstitious(he lost the fight with Morales,cause he got his blood sucked out a day before the fight)...he's going to get weakened...and so on.this is a bunch of crap to me.
if theres nothing to hide or to be afraid of,then he should take the additional tests.that simple.theres is no disadvantage for anybody on that.it will just asure that this fight is going to be fair.that's all.
The condition of the random testing, its what seemed to be tricky to me. 5-6 test in any point during the training period that can possibly take place 36 hours before a fight.. It's sounds like ploy to distract Pac's training to me..
Floyd is playing a chess match.. He is sacrificing his queen, and hoping that Pac takes the bait for a checkmate...I hope Pac doesn't take the bait.
so this all sooooooo unfair for poor Pac! man this is ridiculous.Seems like Pac is the only one here that's going to take those tests! *rolling eyes*
Unfortunately, this is not the case here. Both agreed to Olympic Styled Testing so why is one of them trying to change the protocol? If both agreed and went through with it, this would be a non-issue. And the Mayweather's would look like idiots. The only reason we're even discussing this is because one of the participants has gotten cold feet
Amen to that.
Its reasonable for the olympics, the biggest stage in all of worldwide sports, its big enough and reasonable enough for ours. If you dispute this, you are defending the fighter and not the sport.
well said.
the only ones that don't want this fight to happen is Bob Arum and team Pac,they are afraid of what the tests may expose.they are trying to pull out now.
Even great baseball players have to take drug tests and some have been caught.But,not Pac,he doesn't have to do it,cause he's WAPAKMAN! LOL stop the bullshit already! if you are afraid of something you should quit like he is doing.
i wonder why he doesn't want to agree to the tests.that's stupid,cause he will win soooo much money from this fight and IF(a big IF)he wins he will be concidered the best of all times(at least in my opinion).it makes no sense.i smell a rat here,he is hidding something.
just agree to the stupid tests and shut everybody up.that's what he should do IF he's not hidding anything.taking those tests won't hurt him or put him in disadvantage on the fight.the guy is hidding something.he is afraid,not of the needles(not even my little nefew is afraid of needles)but to get xpossed.
test the day before the fight and before the press conference and after the fight....hum! they know something we don't know?? they know how long the drugs last in the body? maybe it's something new.makes me wonder.there's something wrong here.
a fighter that takes so many punches in the ring is afraid of needles!!!! now i have seen it all.not even my 4 years nefew is afraid of needles.get your facts straight,is it fear of needles or is it superstitions??? it's bull... to me,he's afraid of getting xpossed.
Pacquiao actually believes that the blood taken out of him a day before the Morales fight caused him to be weakened which is why he lost the fight. then is it fair to say that Cotto forced to make the weight of 145 lbs the day before the fight cost him to be weakened wich is why he lost the fight? superstitions?
Why is Arum so obsessed with the Nevada commission??? they owe something to Arum for sure or maybe Arum has very good friends there.i guess they are going to do things in favor of Arum and Pac.That's why they don't want the USADA.
