when they can't defend Manny..they CHANGE the subject...

this is all I have for you in regards to the "fighter of the decade"

since you keep with the fighter of the decade trashing i am curious to who you think has had bigger wins, and done more than pac? regardless of all this bull**** pac is far above anyone in the last 10 yrs. what he has accomplished may never be seen again.

I'm a pac fan and filipino (born in CA though)... but Pac's team is disappointing the $h!t out of me. Shake my head. If this fight don't get made I'll never look at Pac the same. Yea it's outrageous to ask for that type of testing but if Manny really wanted the fight the best thing to do was agree to it to shut all the haters up. Now he's just giving more fuel for the fire.

Watch all this is just to hype the fight up even more and next week we'll be talking about the fight is on again. I've given up trying to keep up with what's going on with the negotiations. Either it IS official or officially is DONE that's all I want to know.

pac vs bradley will be a great fight but it just does'nt have that pac vs mayweather ring to it. good fight though

Problem with a Pac-Bradley fight is that Bradley also want a USADA test style.

In my eye both fighters have lost any credibility they had left. And the sad thing is that the biggest loser here will be Manny Pacquiao, as most boxing fans had next no respect for Mayweather.

Clarification...clear difference between defending a fighter and being an apologist for a fighter, you fall in the latter category.

When Sugar Ray Leonard originally retired and decided to make his first comeback, after being away a few years from the sport, he opted to face Marvin Hagler and everyone seemed to think Leonard had a death wish and little to no chance in lasting past 6 rounds.

Mayweather coming out of semi-retirement rather than facing a legitimate "welterweight" threat his first fight back, opts instead to take on a man two weight divisions below him and in addition to that comes in over the agreed upon weight, giving him yet another advantage on fight night. [B]Mayweather appears rather content to seek advantages rather than real challenges[/B].

Now I give no credence to Manny taking on De La Hoya but he followed that up with Cotto and has only been at the welterweight limit for a year, contrast that with someone who has been there for five years and didn't face Margarito,Cotto, Clottey, PWill,Mosley...hell even Berto or Collazo as a comeback fight would have seemed acceptable.

so now Manny isn't a REAL challenge now that Floyd is unretired??

lcheezy, IT's the only move pacman has right now. PBF does not want to fight! Manny needs to fight on March 13 or else it has to wait until Sept. He's definitely not going to make the 3 Mil PPV buys but he wants to fight. Yeah, he's not going to make 25 mil+ but he does NOT need the money. (Actually he would've helped with the elections but oh well) The only people that this is a bad fight is the people that REALLY want to see Pacman vs PBF. I am in that group. But PBF does not want to fight becuase he is bent on taking this unorthodox testing in NEvada which have their own rules. Again, PAULIE is going to take the opportunity to fight Manny becuase HE WANTS TO FIGHT THE BEST. Even though he accused Manny of PEDS.

arum is full of ****...he says no to usada testing but yes to three random tests. golden boy says ok to the three random tests, now arum in a fit of rage says screw it all. i swear i think this mother ****er is going senile.

Bradley or Marquez against Pacman would at least ease the frustrations of boxing fans rather than Malignaggi.

TBH with you Melly, I can't pull all of this aside man. The reason I can't is because the guy looks so guilty right now (I won't blame him without proof). This is SADLY THE STERIOD/PED era that we live in. I mean, if you are clean as a whistle, you will adhere to whatever testing they ask of you. But they came out with a BUNCH of excuses about why they would NOT do all of the random blood testing and just yesterday I believe Manny asked for a 30 day cut off. As a athlete and fan of boxing (fan of Manny especially of late), I just can NOT overlook that. I'm being as real as I can be right now bro. Also, for Ariza to say that Manny don't know what he takes, just he (Ariza) does raises RED FLAGS FOR ME.

not much homie

72-10, I'm not Filipino and I will keep watching Pacman fight. Whoever it is. He's the most exciting fighter right now. He did NOT and I will tell it again, He DID not do anything to jeopordize this fight. He is clean under NEvada Testing rules. Just like Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Tyson, Chavez, Chacon, Cotto, etc. If you are telling me that pacman is at fault here, then all the fighters mentioned are cheaters too.
