Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Talks Manny Pacquiao and Steroids

[fcastro1]

You don't get it Hopkins is from the higher weight classes it is easier for a middleweight to age well then it is a smaller man, Hopkins situation is much different then Manny's he has been roughly the same for a long perior of time even before the Tito fight he was really good, the Roy Jones fight was a ****ty fight and Jones clearly won but Jones at that point was doing people much worse so you could tell Hopkins was someone of real ability (also if Roy Jones could not take out B-Hop there was no way Tito was taking him out), now Hopkins made his career really difficult by not playing the game so it took a long time to get a huge fight but who is to that was the best Hopkins and he slowly fell off after that as dipicted by the Taylor fights he still fihgts at a pretty high level but he is not at his best.

Maintaining a high level is different then raising up at an advanced age. It is not the same situation, so try again.

so how did pac destroy barrera at 24. even back then he showed his class. for people to say he only started competing at a high level when he got older is dumb.

pac doesnt need floyd he is p4p and tried to meet floyd half ways but i think floyd had second thoughts of fighting manny paqiou,he already got blood tested once before first morales fight when he wasent suppost to,due to his tests somehow being lost and he passed but he stated that it messed with his performance,so i have to give him the benefit of the dought!and comeon just look at vargas who was actually on steroids during the fight with delahoya and still got knocked the f out!!floyd just needs to face it that sure he cud do things that pac cant but pac cud also do things that floyd cant,thats just reality and thats what to expect from two fighters who have dedicated there lives to boxing there both great champions!manny,s always trying to get better we have all seen how hes been doing that pain toleraning workout,floyd says mannys one dementional but so lets give pac extra credit for his one dementional performances that top mayweathers,he stops figters!!!!

[iloveboxing2]

You are ABSOLUTELY right!!!

.....Well, Shane wants to humiliate Jr. too.

Mosley is only agreeing to the test because he want the $$$. If he was the baddest boxer on the planet like Pacquiao he would have said F U to Floyd. Let's just put it this way, PAC legacy is sealed and Floyd still have to worry about his.

[iloveboxing2]

..I guess Jr mentioned,,extra ordinary fighter...

Mayweather swear like Pac is low level fighter that's dying for a payday from Floyd. Floyd need to realize that Pac is the baddest boxer on the planet right now. PAC can make the same money Floyd is making so I don't see his point. Floyd is just using the excuse of trying to do blood test with every fighter from here on to cover up his demand because it didn't work with Pac. I don't know why Pac didn't agree on the blood test but it's not like Pac have to agree to it anyway. That's something that Floyd made up. If you think your opponent is easy work you should fight them roid or not.

is that right? thats why pac avoided the fight. and floyds numbers are going to **** on pacs

i'm not even going to waste my time dissecting all of your missssssplllleeed sentences lol.

i'm going to stop right at your first sentence. manny DID NOT go half way. half way would have been 14 days. in the event your GED masks 1st grade math skills, let me do the work for you.

1/2 of a month is typically 2 weeks. that's 14 days.

manny MYSTERIOUSLY would not move off of 24 days.

wake up.

idiot.

Floyd is a dumbass. When PAC didn't have an ametuer career and turned pro at 16, the first years of his career were pretty much his ametuer career. He didn't have the chance mayweather did 2 have a big ametuer career. Come on gayweather, give the man credit for working hard for years to become the fighter he is today!

[Roy Hobbs]

i dont know why floyd keeps trying to single out Pacquiao as if he is the only fighter in history to do the things that he is doing. pacquiao won the flyweight title when he was 20, he won 122 title vs ledwaba when he was 23, he beat barerra at 126 when he was 25, he beat morales at 130 when he was 28, he beat marquez at 130, barrera again when he was 29 at 130, when he was 30, hatton, oscar, & cotto when he was 31.

Pacquiao has been a good fighter when he was in his teens to early 20s then he became a great fighter in his mid to late 20s, now hes a great fighter at 31 years of age. All i see is natural progression & development of a truly special fighter.

Bernard Hopkins didnt hit his prime until his mid 30s. He's been fighting at elite level as a 40 year old. Antonio Tarver got better in his 30s. Same thing with Joe Calzaghe. Juan Manuel Marquez had his greatest performances in his early 30s. Nate Campbell had his best performances when he was in his 30s.

Shane Mosley, the guy he is fighting is p4p top ten who beat a fellow top 10 in margarito at 38 years of age.

Why is it that Pacquiao is being specifically & unfairly might i add criticized for improving his game in his early 30s?

Floyd's excuse to avoid fighting Pacquiao

Floyd knows Pacquiao is not so dumb to agree with his unreasonable non-mandatory demands so he announces that he will not fight anybody who doesn't abide by his rules. What a clever way to say "I'm afraid to fight Pacquiao, so I'll make a demand I know he won't agree to". If he wants to fight Pacquiao, why doesn't he make a move now to petition the sanctioning body to upgrade their testing procedures to what he wants, if they will agree? He knows that Pacquiao is ready and willing to abide by any standard rules but will not be bullied to agree to his ridiculous demands no matter how much money is involved. It's a matter of principle which I doubt Floyd understands. Does he not trust the American controlled governing body? Does he think that this American controlled governing bodies will allow Pacquiao to fight him with the undue advantage of an illegal substance?

pac doesn't need Floyd he is p4p and tried to meet Floyd half ways

Get the fact strait! Pac wanted testing 30 days before the fight, Floyd wanted testing all the way up to the fight. Half ways is cutting that month in half down to two weeks. Floyd proposed 14 days but Pac wouldn't agree. Can't argue that.
