I completely agree with you on Pacquiao eating Cotto alive at either '45 or '47 (although its not like losing two extra pounds helped). I picked Pac to win that fight simply based off his speed and aggression. But at this point, it's just the principle that there may have been an aide in that performance (which I don't believe he would have needed anyway) just because of how his team is going bonkers over a test they agreed to three weeks ago and now all of a sudden when random, blood, and test appear in the same sentence, they want to back out....? It's just odd and to not be open to the possibility would be bias.Comment

Why do Major League Baseball players have to do the same thing? Look, I agree with you that it's not fair. If Pacquiao had simply said, "Alright, I'll do it," everything would be fine, but every comment that has been made from that side has started this giant snowball effect. Then, Pac decides to take the fight.... into a court room. In the past three weeks, nobody, not even Sr. said "Pac, you're 'roided out!" No, they just asked for random blood testing, that's not defamation. It makes Pac look even worse now and that he does have something to hide, not even a lawsuit will regain a legacy that's now suspect just because of the choices and statements made by Pacquiao's team.Last edited by deejd; 12-27-2009, 09:45 AM.Comment

Could be, guilty by association my friend. I still think Amir Khan is terrible regardless and if he does make the trip across the pond he'll get eaten alive by anyone with a little pop in their punch, but I wouldn't doubt he could be involved if something has been brewing there. It's unfortunate.
Not Shawn Porter though haha. Well unless he starts training with Roach on a regular basis but his father trains him so hopefully he sticks with that arrangement.Last edited by deejd; 12-27-2009, 09:47 AM.Comment

I don't know WESS hahaha. If this is marketing, it's not the best job ha! I actually think is losing it's luster and if they're planning on not going through with the March 13th date and waiting until later, it'll lose loads of buy, I bet its already lost a small amount just because talk of PEDs and the fight being "dead" have surfaced.Arum is just talking **** because this is not one of his fighters (Mayweather).
The fight WILL take place on March 13 (requested in the beginning from team Pac). Mayweather WILL pay 10Mil if he's over the WW limit of 147 (requested by team Pac). The Drug testing will be done by who ever team Pac requests and it WILL be at random (requested my Mayweather).
This will all be worked out due to the amount of money involved. Manny will man up and take the ****** tests at random (Thank god, I'm tired of hearing internet geeks try and "teach" me on needles and phobias. If this was Mayweather we were talking about it would be a different tone. FACT). Pac is a grown man getting paid nearly 50mil+ people need to STFU. They get paid for this ****.
In the end all Pac has to do is say "I TOLD YOU SO". How hard is that? He wants to call the fight off because he's scared of a needle and doesn't want to "give in" (as Mayweather has done for several requests by Pac)?
All BS aside. IMO its all promotion. PRE-FIGHT-HYPE! With Pac looking like the ***** because of a needle and Mayweather camp (more so Sr) looking like a bytch for bringing up roids. In the end this fight will happen. Everything is taken care of but the dates on the "random" testing.
We're talking about the boxing and sports world possibly being jaded over the last two years, that can't be promo man haha. Those aren't fighting words, they're career-killing words.Comment

you see, this is what im sayin, nobody has got even a half decent reason for accusing pacquiao. if the best they have got is, oh well roach trained a fighter 5 years ago who took PED's, its pretty abysmal isnt it.Could be, guilty by association my friend. I still think Amir Khan is terrible regardless and if he does make the trip across the pond he'll get eaten alive by anyone with a little pop in their punch, but I wouldn't doubt he could be involved if something has been brewing there. It's unfortunate.
Not Shawn Porter though haha. Well unless he starts training with Roach on a regular basis but his father trains him so hopefully he sticks with that arrangement.Comment

AH-HA, HAHAHAHHA. So having a proven track record means nothing anymore right? Some people make mistakes and correct them, some either become better... or better at what they did before.
Once again, I'm not saying Roach has become better than he did before, but just his reaction to not letting Pacquiao have blood tests performed on him unless he knows the exact dates, doesn't justify that he's cleaned up his act since then. Remember, 2005 is when Pacquiao started going this amazing streak.Comment
