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

What an idiot! He is fighting Mosley and he cannot stop talking about Pacman.

It was like a 20 min Interview, Boxingscene are the ones that just picked this little piece to report on.

That's absolute and utter rubbish. Lennox Lewis didn't reach his prime until he was in his 30s. Hopkins was considered fairly ordinary until he was in his 30s. Wlad Klitschko has improved dramatically in recent years and is far better now than could possibly have been predicted after his loss to Sanders. Archie Moore peaked in his late 30s.

And Pac started with no money, a homeless vagrant who fought simply in order to eat, and with no training to speak of. Given that, for him to win his first world title when he was only 20 was an incredible achievement, and is very far from being ordinary. Since teaming up with Roach he's become a a much more complete fighter but that's because Roach is a great trainer and because Pacquiao has an exceptional ability to follow a game plan. And the change was gradual - it took years.

Floyd is being extremely disingenious and malicious. I hope Pac wins his court case.

Great points. BTW, I think Pac was still 19 when he defeated the Thai for the lineal/WBC fly belt.

"I'm just trying to clean up sports period. He's not the only one who has to take a random drug test. I do too. I never met anyone in sports history who didn't want to take a $25 million dollar drug test. All drugs don't show up in your urine. All I say is to random drug test me or any other fighters. At one particular time in the sport of boxing they didn't take HIV tests. Now they take HIV tests. In one particular time in the sport of boxing, you weighed in the morning of the fight and now you weigh in the day before the fight," Mayweather said.

i agree with floyd, i cant believe anybody in this world who would't take a 25 million dollar drug test. pac is officially a fraud and an embarrasment to the human race.

Look at the lower weight classes right now and you will see many of the top guys at or around 30 years old and in their primes. This has always been true. Like I said Celestino Caballero is 33 years old and he's better now than he was in his early 20's. Is he on roids?

Saying guys don't get better after 25 is ******ed, often guys peak after 25.

Plus, it's not like pacquiao is actually faster than he was when he was younger. If anyone says pacquiao was faster against cotto then he was in his 20's is not very bright.

I am looking at it right now and I can tell you that smaller fighters age faster then bigger fighters, I think Cabellero is worse then he was a couple years ago and he certainly is not better.

The nature of the sport dictates that fighters usually do not get better with age because of what the sport takes from fighters and smaller men do not take teh punishment as well as larger men.

It is not impossible but it is a pretty unlikely scenario.

Mosley has agreed to take random urine and blood tests for the May 1 clash.*Mayweather plans to request random drug tests for every future opponent. He*claims*it's his way to clean up the sport of boxing.

props to mosley for being a man.

He clearly starts talking about Pacquiao on HIS OWN. Nobody even asked him about Pacquiao. A 20 minute interview and that was the only bits that had to do with boxing. The rest was irrelevant.

Floyd Mayweather Jnr fighting an over-the-hill Shane Mosley!

Floyd Mayweather Jnr' following statement,

"What people don't know about the sport of boxing. In a fighter's career, a fighter starts off good and he's good until the end of his career or a fighter starts off good and then goes downhill towards the end of his career. A fighter doesn't start off like Manny Pacqauio, just ordinary, and then once he gets over the age of 25 he becomes extraordinary fighter. It just doesn't work like that in this sport of boxing."

implies that he opted out of the Pacquiao fight because he regards Pacquiao to be an extraordinary fighter and instead chose to fight Shane Mosley, a fighter 'going downhill at the end of his career'.

Thus, it's safe to say that Mayweather is fighting an over-the-hill, shop-worn, punched ticket fighter.

So, where's the glory in Mayweather beating Mosley?
