Comments Thread For: You’ve got to admit… Floyd Mayweather is Right

[Marduke]

Why is no one giving floyd shyt for not demanding that Marquez be tested in the same manner after knocking out Casamayor and Diaz?

And also, why hasn't anyone complained about how insufficient the NSAC was at testing until now? Now that Floyd wants to do blood testing (which the Olympics do simply because blood can be kept for years, urine can't) it's like RANDOM BLOOD TESTING OR BUST! Nothing else is sufficient enough!

They're all a bunch of SHEEP.

Did we not know going into the De La Hoya fight that he would be cutting to a weight that he hadn't in 7 years prior?

DLH= weight drained, shell of himself..when Pac faced him..no credit

Yup, so if Floyd beats Manny he's beating a previously KO'd Manny, and his win shouldn't be praised. /sarcasm...sorry but I think Floyd is rubbing off on you too much.

if Floyd KO's Manny or outboxes him..why would he be praised?..its been done before!..but if Pac beats Floyd that would further cement his legacy..funny how that works.

Beating a lightweight in a welterweight fight, regardless of who that fighter is, is ***** ****.

yes its much better to make them force weight off.!!!

I give Floyd credit for the Corrales fight, but in all honestly, Chico was one of my favorite fighters, but hardly a great fighter. (RIP) Entertaining fighter? Yes. Great? Not IMO.

IMO..Pac isnt great, but entertaining..I guess he have opposite views of greatness.

Hopefully Vic can pull out a win against Donaire if they fight again. I don't like his chances....but hopefully he will land those big shots he couldn't in the first fight.

since youre so used to reading it , let me remind you

you are a NUTHUGGER why do YOU have a job ?

i bet you'l drink floyd's piss if he asked you to .

your idol mayweather is afraid of pacquiao, just live with it , we all get afraid , we all as human beings have something we're terrified of , its nothing to be ashamed of .

go ask your god floyd how come he didnt demand marquez to get randomly blood tested ? how come he didnt have the decency to make the agreed upon 144 pounds in a fight which he had every possible advantage ?

he didnt expect for manny to agree to the march 13th date, because it was so soon after the cotto beatdown. but manny shocked him by accepting and signing the contract in the blink of an eye, floyd had to go into his bag of tricks and picked out " oh hes on steroids " ..

also answer me this nuthugger, how is floyd the best in the "world" when hes not even the 2nd or 3rd or 4th best in his own weight division .

i judge greatness based on the level of opposition, your only as great as the person youre fighting. pacquiao is light years ahead of floyd, you want proof ? check the resume. . i dont hate floyd, i respect his remarkable skills and amazing defense, BUT his cherrypicking is too difficult to ignore. he looked great vs baldomir, can he look great vs mosley. he looked great vs hatton(with joe cortez' help of course) , can he look great vs cotto. look great vs williams, berto, clottey, pacquiao, hell maybe even quintana. fight somebody IN YOUR OWN DIVISION... please for once in his life , tell him risk his preety record and prove how great he really is ...

you see nuthugger... i just wrote an article better than yours, your job aint too difficult after all

"peeleft:

wow....

[raiders1217]

People lets be real here the author makes a good observation because Pacquiao was not too long ago at 106lbs and now has added 40+ pounds of MUSCLE!!! He's not fat guy and when he's fighting at 145lbs to possibly 154lbs (to face Yuri Forman) that will probably be nearly all MUSCLE!!!
Pacquiao who's about 5'6-5'7" started in...
1995 at 106lbs,
***He was KO @110lbs***
***He was KO @113lbs***
In 1999 he balloned to 122lbs,
2003 126lbs,
2008, 134.5lbs
2008, 145lbs
2010 Roach is trying to face Mayweather @147lbs
2010 Roach is trying to face Yuri Forman @154lbs

Manny take the RANDOM test!

You guys and even the author was quick to point out how pacquiao was 106lbs "not so long ago" his last fight with Cotto was at 145lbs that's only less than 40lbs gained for a period of what 15years of boxing. Does this same reasoning applied to Dela Hoya or Mayweather when they first started boxing and now fighting at 154 to 160 lbs against Hopkins? C'mon people! let's be fair in our observation here.

[edgarg]

FITZ- you forgot to add that as well as Manny putting on 40 lbs, (actually about 35lbs) he's also spent 10 of the last 15 years growing more than 8 inches in height (up to approx age 25) with corresponding widening and building up of his skeletal frame. Not to forget the years and years of strenuous exercise designed speccifically to add those 35 lbs.

That's a big thing to forget. Or, maybe you didn't forget, you just "conveniently" didn't remember, so as to make a [false] better case for your buddy Mayweather........hmm.....

On your other postulation, the FACT is that Mayweather, your bosom buddy, is WRONG! Why is he wrong??

Because, there are properly elected or appointed Commissions in place, with the power to insist on the kinds of tests they deem adequate, and your buddy Fishmouth, comes along, and for his own special plans, he thumbs through a variety of tests available for all manner and kings of sports, and selects one that HE likes. It isn't even a test for professional sports, but strictly amateur.

And not even closely related to the official tests of the Boxing Commission.

So where should Mr. Mayweather go with all this??? I'm too polite to tell you!

[Suckmedry]

That was a damn good article.

[TimothyQ]

Here's a link to a fantastic article that explains the advantages of urine over blood testing and vice/versa as well as the history of trying to make this fight happen amongst other things (some great links within it to Brian Kenny calling Floyd out and RA the Rugged Man's now legendary interview with Floyd). Very interesting read.

I'm personally on the side of Manny taking the blood test but NOT within 10 days of the fight. My friend just had a pretty nasty reaction to having blood drawn last week and I don't want this fight being rescheduled for something so silly.

Here you go; enjoy!

Corrales was a great win,corrales wasn't that great(RIP) but Floyd beat him so easy.
I could ***** about Chico being weight drained but it's a *****s sport.

understandable..one could ***** about Morales being weight drained for the rematch..as well as Cotto..funny how once Floyd upsets a fighter "he was never that great to begin with"...but I get it..Hatton and Old DLH were both "great" fighters that Pacquiao beat.?!!

Floyd beat Hatton,but loosin few rounds to Fatton and knockin him out when he gas out ain't great.
Knockin an agressive Hatton in the 2nd is.

ahh..so being a smart fighter to make the opponent tire themselves for the KO isnt great(Ali's win over Foreman wasnt great whatsoever I guess!)
and KOing a fighter faster is (Tyson must be the best there ever is!)

You gonna say Hatton was shot,I answer that Hatton stopped Malignaggi in his previous fight

yes..because Hatton's win over P. Malignaggi proved he was "back"
