any lawyers here? i have a question, Can Floyd Sr's statements about Pac using steroids be considered libelous, defamatory or whatever lawyers call it? Can Floyd Sr be sued for that?

Libel is in writing, and slander is spoken.

The short answer is NO.

Floyd Sr said "In my honest opinion, I believe..."

That means the statement is not slanderous. Slander is a defamatory statement without factual basis. Mayweather did not present it as fact. He presented it as his opinion.

The last thing Manny needs is a expensive lawsuit in a foreign country.

Yea Im a lawyer, and Sr. never made the statement that Pac is on roids, but you could be found for a crime in saying he did.

youre not a lawyer. youre an *******

More pac fans have made threads about this then anyone. your just spreading the news more and more. No one cares about Sr. bull**** claims. People should have just ignored him instead everyone helped blow the story up.
