I dont want to put it in any other way. The guy has probably lost a round or two in his last three fights combined against Oscar, Hatton and Cotto. Say what you want too but he is dominating opponents even better than he is expected too and that is very impressive...but recently I have lost it with him and his team, we clearly know Floyd wants the fight more, atleast it seems like that. I think Roach and Pacquiao are fine but Bob Arum is the snake and the reason why this isn't happening anytime soon... Floyd's team just had one demand, which would apply to both fighters whereas Pac's team throughout the whole negotiations have been unfair and made so many demands. I respect both fighters but I wish Pacquiao leaves Arum for good. Pacquiao wants this fight as much as Mayweather does, even though Mayweather has showed a lot of signs of wanting it more by making compromises.

Manny is a decent human being. Outside of the ring, as well as inside. And that's why the people who support him do, because fundamentally they know his good heart and character (beyond what is seen in HBO PPV), the fact that he loves boxing and would never do anything to taint the sport he loves so much, and especially given the fact that there's NO PROOF whatsoever to convict him, other than not totally giving in to Floyd's outrageous and unprecedented demands for blood testing. (He already did agree to blood tests contrary to what some are portraying that he's totally dodging it)
Floyd on the other hand, has acted like a punk much throughout his career, and has many times shown total disregard to what boxing fans like or think. He's a self-proclaimed greatest fighter in a division where he doesn't have the elite on his resume (Mosley, Margo, Cotto, Clottey, and now Manny). And now, he has chosen to play this dirty game against Manny by taking the fight out of the ring and has turned it all into a mud-slinging media circus.
When the storm is over, history will side with the right one and expose who the real ducker was in all this!Comment

I think its more down to Bob Arum to be honest.Comment

Arum and Floyd just can't do business.
$40Mill for each and the fight still can't get done then people want to say Floyd ducked Margarito for $8Mill and people say he lied about being unable to come to terms with Top Rank fighters like Cotto and Margarito.
But then you see here he can't do business with Arum not even for $40,000,000 dollars and fighting a midget who's much less dangerous than prime Cotto and prime Margarito and also brings more money.
People need to leave the ducking accusations alone, open their eyes, and think about Floyd's comments about not seeing "eye to eye with Arum" instead of being casual fans and accusing him of ducking.Comment

Too bad it won't, because the article is fake. Why hasn't ANY other website reported it as well? BoxingScene.com hasn't even reported on it, because there is no validity to it.
Bob Arum gave a personal interview to some ****** at the Examiner? Give me a break.
While I have NO doubt Arum played a HUGE role in screwing up this fight, that article is just made up.Comment

Sorry bro, but you have to blame the fighter. Pac can stand up and call the shots any time he wants. He was a true champion in the lighter weight classes but not in WW. When they asked Tyson who does he think would win the fight between Witherspoon or Tubbs he said, "I don't know who the winner is going to be but I'd love to fight the winner. I'm the heavyweight champion of the world and I'll fight any man alive because I feel I can beet anyone in the world, and I will take on all thats coming". Now thats what a true champion says. When Merchant asked Pac after the Cotto fight if he wanted to fight Mayweather, Pac avoided the question and said he just wanted to take a vacation with his family. What kind of crap is that? Pac is not a true champion in the WW division.Comment

That would be gross ignorance for anyone to think Pac is articulate with words. Hell he's never even said **** anyone, at least not in front of the camera.
Mayweather didn't become champion by saying he wants Manny or at least, Clottey. He was even dead-scared of Shane after the Marquez fight and said the same exact words Pac did.
If Manny spoke and acted like Mike, he'd suffer the same fate, given Mike's mental frame of mind.Comment
