Roach knows it's on. He's just began the psychological warfare
by making this statement to get under Team Mayweather's
skin. I thought it was a brilliant move. I give him credit.
As a trainer, he may be a little limited physically, but his
ability to play mind games and come up with great game plans
make him the best in the business today.
Floyd should`nt have to fight no roid user.If Pac take a random test and he pases then the fight happens and that`s that.
Pac, a roid user = Fiction
PBF, a ducker = Fact
The way I see it, PBF is the one walking away from an easy $40M payday and I don't understand why.

I love how Mosley jabbed to the body and went back upstairs
to tag PBF. He hurt him bad that round. Against May, that's what
you have to do. You have to mix it up, change levels, and be as
unpredictable as possible.
May has the advantage, but I think Pac has a decent shot
against him. After seeing what Mosley did, I'm sure Pac will
land some of his combination like this one.

One-sided fights are boring to you? and your name is Pac123? :lol1:
well yeah, why should that be surprising? everyone loves a competitive
fight. pbf/baldomir was boring. pac/clottey was boring. too one-sided
fights.
Pac123 is not my name, it's my boxingscene login user name. is there something
wrong with it?
Mosley didn't go into a shell and gave up, Mosley tried. Mayweather was actually the stronger man that night.
Mosley tried? from 3rd to the 12th round, when did he try? give me a moment
where he actually threw a meaningful punch? we were all screaming at
Mosley to at least try, go for broke, but it never happened. there's only one
reason when a fighter can't pull the trigger anymore.
I voted NO by the way, 'cos it was pretty one-sided after the 2nd. PBF's fans
are voting yes b'cos of how Mayweather fought, it's been a while since they've
seen him this offensive, and yet PBF still didn't throw combinations.
it's hard to consider it a huge win for Mayweather 'cos of
how horrible Mosley looked. His age and almost a year and
half layoff may have been factors.
Mayweather was great, but you can't deny that Mosley looked
like sh!t. even when he was winning in the first 2 rounds, he
didn't look good. the guy was jittery and gasping for air during
the 2nd round and on.
This is only a big win to the Mayweather fans because he hasn't
been this offensive and aggressive in a long time. What's weird
is that while he looked great doing that, he still didn't throw
combinations at all. What I saw was just an aggressive pot
shooting, but it was great to watch nonetheless cos it's not
his usual boring style.

this picture looks a little weird.
looking from the waist level, you would think PBF is taller.
you get to the shoulder level, SSM looks taller.
but then looking at the nose/eye level, PBF looks to be taller again.
SSM has a slightly longer reach and although he looks to be taller,
there's actually no height advantage for him cos if you look at their
chins, it's on the same level.
i think mosley crapped his pants. he was taking laxatives to help him poo and lose weight , and after round 2 when floyd turned into a dragon, shane clearly poo-ed himself, he was worried what ppl might think if some of that diarrea fell out onto the canvas.
all that jittering was him clenching his butt cheeks together throughout the fight, and thats why he gassed, that butt clenching technique can take a lot out of u.
dude that sh!t is hellarious. it would be even funnier if it's true lol.
he is entertaining, outside the ring. he's become somewhat
boring for fighting too safe now. i miss the days when he used
to be aggressive, throwing blinding wicked combinations, just
like Roy Jones in his prime. just amazing to watch.
Floyd has better defense than Cotto...and Cotto was off balance on that KD...Floyd's balance is usually good...
I was just referring to the combo itself vs floyd's D, it has nothing to do with Cotto. It just so happens that this gif I found is against Cotto.
I see Floyd easily picking off the first punch which is the jab, and the last punch which is the weird right hook to the head, with his shoulder. The second punch, straight left to the body has the best chance in connecting I think.
But then again all these happen so fast. Pac throws this combo in amazing speed. He could very well land all of them, or maybe none at all, who knows. This fight just needs to happen, period.
as far as the size of his fist, i think it's just in the genes.
pac's father's fist is huge as well. this picture of his dad
is from the pacquiao/cotto fight.

Thing is Pac fans, if you really truly want to see this fight Mayweather-Pacquiao then deep down inside you know Manny has to take these tests. Floyd is not going to back off his demands, there is nothing no one can say to make him relent, that wouldn't be Money Mayweather now would it. Pac is the guy who pretends to be humble, claims he fights for the people, claims he is a common man, a people's champion would not duck OST.
What a dumba$$ post. So since Mayweather is known for having his way and Pac is the humble one, then he should bow down? That's just stupid. Saying something like that shows your lack of integrity. Pac believes he's right, that's why he's standing his ground. A real b!tch would not.
All I saw were quotes from Roach and other members of Team Pacquiao. If you have a proof where it was Pacquiao himself who said "I don't want to fight Mosley", then you may have a case.
This is like someone saying "PBF ducked Pac"... because Mayweather Sr. was quoted before that he doesn't want his son to face Pacquiao. But in reality, we've never heard PBF once said that he doesn't want to fight Pacquaio.
If a quote didn't originate from the fighter himself, then it shouldn't even be taken seriously. For the longest time, everyone thought PBF was afraid of SSM. We all know now that wasn't the case.
Pac has yet to show the improvements against a counter puncher. He started to look brilliant after the JMM 2 fight, against Diaz, De La Hoya, Hatton and Clottey... none of which presented the stylistic problems that Marquez did. Not to take away from the wins - just the styles suited Pac more than Marquez'
So, although Pac has improved, we haven't seen him against a counter puncher since then, and there's nothing to prove his offensive arsenal will look the same against someone like Mayweather or Marquez...
I agree. But there's also no proof that a counter-punching style would still give the improved Pacquiao the same problems.
It's a style thing, Pacquiao will always struggle against Marquez.
So you're saying Pacquiao's style hasn't changed? You haven't noticed that he's more patient now, his timing and foot work got better, and how his overall boxing skills have improved? You don't see any of those? This Pacquiao would destroy his old self easily.
take the test Manny. forget that it will affect you physically and mentally.
give $May all the advantages. he's already bigger, taller and more technically
skilled than you are, so what's another advantage for him right? you're from a
3rd world country anyway, let these americans b!tch you around. f**k your
pride and honor.
wow..the truth is that you really believe that if manny takes those tests that he will be physically challenged even when many doctors came foward and said that these test do not put you at no physicall disadvantage. You really believe that in mannys bible it saids something about blood test therefore he is all against it. Forget that both fighters are taking the same test. Forget that a cut off date of 14 days was awarded and turned down. Forget that its for 40 mil. wow i cant picture being mannys brother and being that delusional. i feel sorry for you as a man, women, or just a free thinker.
and i feel sorry for you for not knowing that not everyone reacts the same after getting their blood drawn. some feel fine afterwards. some experience dizziness. some even pass out. there are even cases where the sight of their own blood alone caused them to faint. if you don't know this, go ask your family doctor; and while you're at it, go get yourself checked up as well. seriously.
