Mayweather SR: 'I don't want my son to fight Pacquiao'

[Bruz Li Baggin]

Floyd says his son would whoop Pacquiao, but goes on to say he has his reasons why he does not want the fight made. What could those reasons be?

He hints at the steroid use as one of the reasons.

Manny Pacquiao submitted urine tests before and after his win over Miguel Cotto, and both came back negative.

NEW YORK (SI.COM) -- Seven-time world champion Manny Pacquiao tested clean following his Nov. 14 TKO over Miguel Cotto, SI.com has learned.

Pacquiao, who became the first boxer to win seven championships in as many weight classes, underwent urine tests twice -- before and after the fight -- and both came back negative, said Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. It's the the 10th time the Filipino has turned in clean tests in Nevada.

Immediately following Pacquiao's win over Cotto, fans inside the MGM Grand Arena pleaded for a megafight with Floyd Mayweather Jr., who many regard as the top pound-for-pound fighter since his return in September. In response to the expected fanfare, Floyd Mayweather Sr. publicly accused Pacquiao of taking steroids.

Mayweather Sr., Floyd's father and trainer, told SI's Chris Mannix that he believed Pacquiao's ability to take Cotto's powerful shots and keep coming proved the champion was taking performance-enhancing substances. "I know Floyd is the best," said Mayweather Sr. "But when [your opponent] uses something illegal, even the best can get hurt."

Floyd Sr. offered no evidence to support his claim.

Since 2002, Nevada has required fighters to submit urine samples before every fight. Those samples test for 40 types of steroids, diuretics and masking agents. In his 10 Las Vegas fights, Pacquiao has never tested positive, and his conditioning coach, Alex Ariza, said the only substances his fighter took leading up to the fight with Cotto were whey protein and liver-support supplements, in addition to his 6,500-calorie diet.

Pacquiao has been bombarded with accusations of doping, having conquered seven weight divisions since entering the sport at 106 pounds when he was 16. And after Mayweather Sr.'s comments following the Nov. 14 bout, there has been speculation that if a megafight between Floyd Jr. and Pacquiao is agreed upon, Mayweather's camp may place stipulations in the fight contract that would require both fighters to take separate, mandatory drug tests in addition to the required tests by state athletic commissions.

But at 10-0 with his Nevada drug tests, Pacquiao has provided plenty of proof he cleanly fought his way to seven world titles.

Personally I think Pac is a member of the illuminati so mayweather wouldn't be able to win a decesion.Since Pac is taking steroids IMO floyd wouldn't be able to K'O Pacquiao.I think Pacquiaos taking some undetectable steroid, but that just my opinion.

What do you think is it that undetectable steroids. Do you have in your place?

[IIG]

I honestly don't know what PED or variants out there that can make your chin better. Could somebody list examples? Undetecable pain killers? Stimulants? If Pacquiao was on it--it doesn' matter if Pacquiao could take the shots---his body, or specifically, his brain stem wouldn't be able handle the blows regardless. He would literally stagger each time Cotto hit him to the head; he wouldn't feel it but his body would still be affected.

I hear what you are trying to say, but there are substances and drugs out there that will make you feel invincible. Ever heard of or read about PCP and other addicts, taking several bullets from the cops but still wreaking havoc? Don't put **** past what a chemical or abuse of natural elements (like HGH) can do.

Do people honestly think if Pac was on steroids, he'd get caught? Nope
All the money he's making for the sport, do you think they'd release such a thing? Nope
At this point, do you honest think Sr. think his son can't beat Manny? Nope

The media and publicity just f(*&^ some of you people heads up.

So what??
Cotto is a strong puncher but def not Thomas Hearns.Gimmy a break.
He wasn't able to hurt Margarito,who Shane destroyed,Shane is a huge puncher,Cotto not,just strong.

Chin isn't about pain,it's about brain,there is no known poducts.
BUT whatever,Manny always had a good chin,I never heard about him being knocked down,or I don't remember.
ALL I KNOW is he was ko weight drained at 106 twice with body punches.

Really buddy?Illuminati?
And what make you think that?

"Since Pac is takin steroids"" ??
How do you know that??Hopefully you ain't a judge cuz there will be a lot of people in jail.
Pac always was fast with a great world class chin,Cotto is Tailor made,I have never seen somebody walkin trough Manny,I'm not suprised Cotto didn't,Cotto was tailo made,and made the mistake in the 3rd and 4th rounds to brawl with Manny.
Pac always was a good puncher with a great work rate.SO,nothin new.

Ha has a conditionning coach helps him to increase his strenght and keep his natural explosivity movin up in weight.

Nothing of extraordinnary to scream:"Illumati"or "ROIDS"like a ******.

The only proven thug who went in jail many times out there,who acts illegal is that ****** of predator looking,disgracefull father of the bable family.

Can't take Sr serious when he talks like a crackhead.

Can't take Sr serious when he talks like a crackhead.

But there are crackheads here like him who believes in him. Even some boxers is riding with him so they could be crackhead too?

Anyway, reason number one Snr. doesn't want his son to fight Pac is he knows as sure as Roach knows his son is gonna get exposed for the fraud he is.

[LilGizmo562]

I don't see how anyone can say otherwise....Manny got Mayweather Snr. shook....just like Mosley shook Floyd after his last fight (could have been fear or just the fact that he didn't expect Shane to get in his face)
