      Heres a real life deal for you,

      Ray Leonard v Marvin Hagler.

      Look it up.
      Deal with reality ,, the subject is Pac and Floyd it concerns them , Als question was about them , real is you answer the question it was fair and is reasonable to assume Roach and Arum wouldnt touch Floyd first up ,,,, and just to amuse you Leonard knew Hagler was just about done he would not have came near him a few years earlier .

        Roach is an idiot.

        Besides that, anyone who thinks this "case" would even survive summary judgement doesnt know very much about the law. To win a slander or defamation case, you must PROVE that the party making the statement KNEW or should have KNOWN that the statement was false, AND (not "or") that the statement was made solely to damage the other party. Floyd Sr would have no way of knowing one way or the other if Pac is juicing, so its impossible to say he KNEW that statement was false. The case is a loser from the get go.

        It's just funny to hear this coming from big mouth Roach, who consistently calls other fighters "bums", or "shot", or whatever. He can dish it out, but he sure cant take it. LOL

        Its also funny to see the double standard at work here. After Nate whipped Diaz, Team Diaz made statements to the press accusing Nate of being on the juice, and nobody gave a ****. But say the same thing about the chosen one (Pac) and oh my god...... lolol

          lol at these D level posters.

          I don't deal with hypotheticals which is why I don't give Floyd credit for beating any welterweights out right now.


          Reality>>>fantasy.


          Leonard was retired for almost 3 years when he moved up and fought Hagler,

          for the middleweight crown.

          Doesn't matter why he did it, because the fact remains,

          he did it instead of just saying he could do it.

            Be careful what you say in court, Manny....

            Jones sues BALCO founder, denies steroid use


            By Edward Iwata, USA TODAY
            SAN FRANCISCO — Olympic track champion Marion Jones filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Victor Conte, the steroids dealing suspect at the heart of the sports doping scandal, saying he falsely accused her of using performance-enhancing drugs.

            Marion Jones filed a $25 million defamation lawsuit Wednesday against BALCO founder Victor Conte.

            By Susan Ragan, AP

            Jones and her attorneys deny the allegations made by Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative founder Conte during interviews in early December with ABC's 20/20 and ESPN The Magazine.

            In the interviews, Conte accused Jones of cheating her way to glory by using a designer steroid, human growth hormone, insulin and the endurance-boosting hormone erythropoietin (EPO) before and during the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, where Jones became the first woman to win five track and field medals in a single Games.

            Jones seeks $25 million for potentially lost endorsement money.

            Lin Wood, an Atlanta libel attorney, called the suit "a public-relations tactic." If Jones were serious, she also would have sued ABC and ESPN, Wood said; Conte does not have the resources to defend the suit or pay a judgment. Nor is the case likely to decide the issue of Jones' alleged steroids use, he said.

            "I don't think you can restore your reputation with a lawsuit that is simply not going to be defended
            ," said Wood, who represents the accuser in the Kobe Bryant **** case and Richard ***ell, falsely accused of the Olympic bombing.

            According to the lawsuit, Conte's attorneys early on said Conte never provided steroids to Jones. But in a "sudden about-face," Conte has changed his story to "curry favor with prosecutors," grab the media spotlight and make money, the lawsuit charges.

            Conte and three other men, including Barry Bonds' trainer, Greg Anderson, face federal charges of steroid distribution and money laundering. Their trial is expected to start in the spring.

            According to the lawsuit and other documents filed with the lawsuit, Jones:

            • Never has taken "banned performance-enhancing drugs" and passed 160 drug tests over the last five years, including testing at the 2000 Olympic Games.

            • Passed a lie-detector test in June by Ronald Homer, a polygraph examiner and former FBI special agent. Jones answered "no" when asked whether she had ever used performance-enhancing drugs.

            • Has not used steroids based on blood and urine tests since 2001 that were analyzed by her doctor, Richard Ferro of the Duke University Medical Center.

            Conte, however, won't budge.

            In an e-mail statement, he said: "This is nothing more than a PR stunt by a desperate woman, who has regularly used drugs throughout her career. ... I stand by everything I said on the 20/20 special. I am telling the truth, and Marion is lying."

            WHITE PLAINS, New York (CNN) -- Olympic track star Marion Jones was sentenced in a federal court Friday to six months in prison, two years of probation and community service for lying to federal prosecutors investigating the use of performance-enhancing substances.

            Marion Jones was smiling when she arrived Friday at the courthouse, but her smile soon disappeared.

            She said through her attorney that she would like to start serving her sentence as soon as possible, and Judge Kenneth Karas set March 11 as the "surrender date" unless a designated jail is able to accept her sooner.

            Jones had pleaded guilty in October to charges of lying to a federal agent in 2003 about her use of steroids, and was sentenced on two counts -- getting six months in prison on the first count and two months on the second, to be served concurrently.

                Steroid accusations are not good at any rate in todays sports world.

                  in what way, he wasnt tested in anyway fighting them b/c they had nothhing. so its not reality. thats was a false measuring stick.

                  Floyd is going to Kill Pac when they fight
