Well, now lets be realistic here. Floyd wasn't waiting to tire him out, he was getting his timing down. You could watch him figuring it out especially after a lackluster first 2 rounds and into the later rounds when he was landing perfect counters. That's a knock on his training (yet props to instinct and in ring smarts) because he doesn't go into a fight with a strategy. Manny went in the ring against Hatton knowing exactly what he needed to do to blow him up. That's the difference between a prepared fighter and a fighter going on instinct. Both wins were great and both fighters are great. Its why we want the fight so bad.

Oh no! No credit from an internet character named Mali? ****, what is he gonna do?!
I don't need to remind you that Oscar was the betting favorite in the fight as well. Do you not think professional handicappers took the weight cut into consideration?
Or do you know more than they do? Please do share.
It is funny. But that's what happens when you are fighting the guy moving up in weight and taking on the challenge. Now if Floyd was moving up in weight and fighting guys at '54 and '60, or hell how about this: Maybe even some legit welterweights! He could add to his own legacy.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.
Not sure what the hell that means, but my point still stands. Beating a lightweight in a welterweight fight, is that impressive to you?yes its much better to make them force weight off.!!!
IMO..Pac isnt great, but entertaining..I guess he have opposite views of greatness.
Yeah, and I guess your view of greatness is the opposite of almost every boxing expert and writer out there. Give credit where it is due. Floyd Mayweather is a great fighter. He cemented his legacy in the lower divisions as one of the best, if not the best, of our generation.Comment

As much as I hate FMJ antics, I really do want MP to take these test and fight. I mean go into the fight with FMJ's terms and beat him in his game...theres nothing more satifying than that for a MP fan...Comment

Tennis players have to put up with Olympic-style random drug testing now. It is very intrusive, and they have to give advance notice where they will be on any given day. Three times failing to do so to avoid a test means a suspension. It is only a matter of time before this comes to boxing, and for bouts of this magnitude, to be certain there is no cheating going on from either camp, it is the only way.Comment

Lyle Fitzsimmons "peeleft:

[QUOTE=BillyBoxing;7113553]"greatness is beating an undefeated, had never been knocked down Chico Corrales..("
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.
You could but you would be lying. Corrales fought at that same weight for almost 4 more years. And he won another title at that weight. Saying Corrales was weight drained for Mayweather is just a pathetic attempt to discredit the win.Comment

whoever wrote this article sounds like an idiot.
thats really all that has to be said.
i guess, to add something else, why has he not demanded anyone else to take these tests?
hmm.
lemme think... a self indulged guy fighting a smaller, yet more ferocious guy who has destroyed comp that he has decisioned?
could it be he is just scared to lose and is grasping on straws to find some reason why pac is a better fighter?
cause we all know that, u cant be better than floyd, right? lol!Comment
