    please don't make the discussion about ducking..

    both are to be blamed for what happened.

    is floyd still having problems with his hands? confidence? has he age in the ring?

    he says he will take fights that makes the most money. pac and mosley is the best fight he can get.

    he has a lot of reasons to fight pac and can keep his "0". without the blood testing. because he can beat pac even the 2009 version if he's still the same confident fighter in the 2007 because stylistically, height and reach advantages are on his side.

        How does he know this?

          In any strip search or warrant, there should be probable cause. And if the probable cause is that Manny Pacquiao exceeded all expectations that any boxer, with or without steroids, can ever dream of, then he has all human rights to refuse such harassment, and so do anyone who respects such rights.

          Especially when he has undergone ALL drug tests, even ones recently conducted by the Boxing Commission and passed with flying colors throughout the years.

            You are talking about warrants, human rights and proable cause.

            This has nothing to do with professional sports. These are athletes. They should be able to prove they are not cheating.

            We already know the tests the comissions are using are way faulty.

              Floyd has done none of that. He is the youngest 33 year old in boxing. He has never taken a beating, he uses his boxing skills more than his physical attributes so he can rely on it later on in his career, in his layoff he let his body heal and still stayed in shape, his life style prolongs his boxing career etc. I could go on. He's not going to be beatable up untill his late 30s.
              but it is well documented that he has hand problems. he may have made a lot of punches miss but most of it was caught by his shoulder. maybe volume punchers can now trouble him because they can target his shoulder.

              he went back because he needed the money. if the two years would only have done him good like you said, then it makes sense that he fight the best because he has recharged right. then why is it that he's not?

              is he beats both pac and mosley or any one of them. he gets best of both worlds.

                This could have been an interesting topic but it had to turn into another Pac on steroids/Mayweather is a chicken argument thread.

                Mayweather isn't an old 33, but he is a little brittle. He still retains most his skills though and his age isn't really an issue for him. Because of his style he has avoided the punishment many boxers who have been around as long as Floyd has usually take.

                  Actually you are talking like a Commie and have it in reverse. Read these lines of Democracy:

                  They should prove Pac is cheating, not the other way around. And it has already been proven time and again that he is clean, with evidence.

                  The only proof Pac could be cheating, possibly concerns his wife.

                    Mayweather isn't an old 33. And actually just took 2 years off resting.
                    Hes a gym rat who works out and trains alot. Hes always in shape and has a great diet and nutritionist.

                    He has hand problems before the last time they bothered him was in November 2006 when he fought Baldimir. Since then he has no issues. His last injury was a rib injury.

                    Floyd spent most of his career NOT taking punishment and reserving alot of energy in the boxing ring. If Anything hes a young 33.

                      And why are athletes forced to take tests? To prove they are not taking illegal substances. Duh.

                      I will not keep derailing this topic. Create a new thread and i will keep discussing this point with you there, or you can always PM to keep it going.

                      Otherwise, lets discuss the topic. Is Floyd an old 33y old?
