Comments Thread For: Mayweather Has a History of Being a 'Coward,' Says Arum

[fcastro1]

floyd prove to us you are this great you speak. why are you hiding behind other peoples opinions and speculation. i just want to see you prove your greatness. i would have given you credit for just fighting pac win lose or draw because that is showing courage against a hot fighter on form. but yet again you dissapoint.

i'll have to second this: Mayweather most definitely has history of ducking tough fights...

------------------

how is the man ducking this fight.........lets just say manny is ducking the test.......


Mayweather is very willing to make this fight happen if manny just says yes.......

If manny were to say ok i'll take it and then floyd were to then turn around and say no, then you'd be very valid in saying whatever you want with regard to him 'ducking' a tough fight...until that happens

please focus at the fact manny refuses these tests!!!

he's very willing to prove it, he just wants to make sure that manny isn't cheating


whats wrong with that?

[jbin333]

there was always going to be an excuse, floyd should just leave, retire and stay retired. He's bad for boxing, boring as **** to watch and nobody gives a **** about him. Bring on exciting fighters that put on a show for the fans.

he's so boring yet you are writing a post about him....you don't care for him or about him, then dont watch or listen....its really that simple

no he stopped the fight because of baseless speculation. he made up the tests idea pac said after the fight and 24 days before. that is still a lot tougher than any type of current testing. Even schaefer and elerbee were apparently trying to persuade him yet he said no.i admire floyds skill and i do like him but i cant agree with the way he handles himself in the sport.

[Stick_and_move]

can't beat him in anything so we might has welll smear him. great job top rank but it won't work.floyd's impact in boxing weather its positive or negative over shadows anything pac has accomplished.actually pac has beaten old,shot,average,and weight drain big names.hell of a resume.

You silly boy. You're completely delusional. Manny Pacquiao has accomplished more than Floyd Mayweather, which can be seen reported and documented by an abundance of boxing journalists thus far.

Lay off the smack talk, it's doing you no favours.

[lcheezy]

when floyd was fight for top rank. bob arum said that he was the greatest lower weight fighter that he had ever seen. now bob says the floyd is a coward. it looks like to me manny is the coward.he can't weight drain pbf so its been excuses on pacs part ever since.they know he can't beat mayweather.

[tibbar]

man you are getting wayyyy tooo excited...we havent even heard a statement from Mayweather or Golden Boy....but by the looks of this TIMELINE below....who can really take Arum's word as gold?...

December 11:

Freddie Roach: I have no problem with the testing whatsoever. They can do whatever (Keyword: Whatever) kind of drug testing that they want.

December 14:

Alex Ariza: I am the one in charge, I am the one responsible for what Manny takes. He has no idea what he takes.


December 22:

Early today Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, was contacted by Top Rank President Todd duBoef, who informed Schaefer that Pacquiao would not agree to have his blood taken within 30-days of the bout based on the fighter’s superstition of testing so close to a fight.

Richard Schaefer: Todd told me that Pacquiao has difficulty with taking blood and doesn’t want to do it so close to the fight. He, Pacquiao, would only agree to have blood drawn before the kick-off press conference and after the fight.

In that same day,

Freddie Roach: A urine test is just as qualified as a blood test. [Human growth hormone] is not detected by blood or urine.”

How is HGH test done?

More than one blood sample must be taken on different days, due to rapid changing levels of growth hormone. A test measuring IGF-1 levels may be taken in conjunction, as its levels change much slower. Before blood is drawn, the administering health professional should be informed of any disorders or medication being taken which can lead to bleeding at the site of the puncture.



December 23:

Bob Arum: Manny says that taking blood from him really weakens him. And he doesn't want to do it when he's in training, but he'll do it prior to going into training, and after the fight. Every major doctor will tell you that blood testing shows absolutely nothing.

Freddie Roach: For the record, Pacquiao (Remember, he said Pacquiao) is willing to have his blood drawn before he starts training and after the fight to be tested for steroids and performance enhancing drugs. It’s not like Pacquiao is saying no to drugs.


December 24:

Arum: This kid has a phobia for getting his blood drawn.

December 25:

Manny Pacquiao plans to sue Floyd Mayweather, the American's father and Golden Boy Promotions in the next few days following a row over doping procedures, the Filipino world champion said in a statement on Friday.

NYDailyNews. Tim Smith,

This isn't some issue that just came about. It has been a part of the contract negotiations for weeks. According to a source familiar with the talks, Pacquiao's representatives asked what penalties Pacquiao would face if he tested dirty, and also if a dirty test result could be kept secret so that the integrity of the fight wouldn't be ruined in the public eye.


December 26:

Manny Pacquiao: I have offered to give a blood sample the day of the announcement of the fight at the Press Release. I have offered to give a blood sample 30 days before the fight. I am willing to give blood immediately after the fight is over inside my dressing room. I am also willing to give urine tests at anytime any where everyday leading up to the fight. The truth is taking blood out of my body does not seem natural to me and mentally I feel it will weaken me if blood is taken from me just days before the fight.

December 28

Manny Pacquiao: I do not have anything to prove (to them) and hopefully, they would not succeed in destroying my image and the sport of boxing in the way they want it done. They want to dictate and step on the authority of the organizations including the Nevada State Athletic Commission. I am not guilty and I don’t have to prove anything because I have passed all tests in all my previous fights. I will all just see you in court.

December 30:

David Tyler interviews Freddie Roach.

Freddie Roach: HGH cannot be detected by blood, saliva, or urine. The doctors I've talked to said that HGH and any growth harmone cannot be detected by any test.

David Tyler: Fred, I have a graduate's degree in Biochemistry and 30 years experience in developing blood chemistry tests.....I'll leave it alone, let's move foward.

Freddie Roach: No wait, you can't tell me that there is a test that can detect HGH or growth harmones.

David Tyler: Fred, I'm not here to make you mad.

Freddie Roach: I'm not mad, I'm telling you that you are wrong if you think there is a test for HGH.

David Tyler: Ok Fred, so you are saying that HGH cannot be detected by a blood test?

Freddie Roach: Absolutely, 100%, NO! Saliva, blood, or urine.




So, I guess this was all Floyd Sr.'s fault right? I think not.

Men Lie, Women Lie, Quotations don't.

Note: Notice how Roach/ Arum are downgrading blood testing in general.

man, do you still have a life ?

[cortdawg25]

40 Million dollars or no random blood test....Manny chosses no random blood test and Floyd is the coward?

Arum u said manny scared of needles and floyd is the coward? Arum needs to be out of boxing and stop lying and fabricating fighters. This is soley the reason Manny chose to go with Top rank becuase he knew GBP would call his BS and not protect him when he is cheating the sport.


Cong**** to u PacRoid....your the best juiced up fighter ever!
