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

[FightFreak]

Nah! Thats the only thing they can find meaningful on that interview. The rest of the interview is rubbish.

That and May's confirming the report that he's gonna fight Mosley

[Jamel H]

Now that Mosley took the random drug test, and Floyd took the fight with him, it proves that Pacman was the one that did not want the fight, because your an idiot to pass up 25 to 40 million dollars over refusing a drug test.You internet idiots are so fast to say Floyd is scared but remember this floyd is fighting the guy (Mosley) that Manny avoided. thats right when Mosley destroyed Margarrito and became the number one welterweight Pacquiao chose to fight a washed up Cotto instead and when Cotto and Manny were negotiating over 146 or 145 pounds for the fight Mosley said i'll come down to 142 and Manny still didn't take the fight but Floyd did!! and just for the record I predict Floyd beats Mosley in a tough fight and beats Pacquiao easy.

You fail to realize some of these guys ignore these type of comments lol, but they'll QUICKLY point out anything with Mayweather

Kinda skipped over a point of mine. Answer this question - is pac FASTER now than he was when he was in his early 20's. Was he faster against cotto than he was at the lower weight classes.

Pac is TECHNICALLY better now. That comes with age, experience and a great trainer. Doesn't necessarily have to come from roids.

That's why floyd's statements are ******ed.

The problem is he didn't take the chance to prove it was those factors when he had the chance to do so for 40 mil....instead he complained and cried with some downright silly excuses and filed a lawsuit....I don't think you will find too many people that think 14 days is unreasonable.....it's shifty bro.......to me not the actions of a clean fighter or one who "wants mayweather in the worst way"

[check hook]

Shane Mosley will be ready for this fight:

Floyd has not really know Pacquiao until he started winning against Mexican boxers. He has been a good boxers before that. What it makes a big difference is the guidance of Freddie Roach. He is the brain and Pacquiao is just a dicipline fighter who is willing to learn and work hard. That is the difference why Pacquiao improves throughtout the years in the ring. Steroid is only Floyd's excuse not to fight Pacquiao. He knows that he need another tune up fight before he face Pacquiao. It doesn't matter anymore, Moseley will beat him by a decision in his next fight.

A lot of fighters get better after the age of 25, what the hell is he talking about? lol

Ye I was thinking the same thing! Floyd talks a lot of crap, I mean he's a prime example of someone moving thro the weights and still dominating every fight he's in!

[Jamel H]

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?

Just because you say Mayweather thinks Mosley is a washed up fighter doesnt mean its true... Don't discredit Mosley just because you have something against Mayweather, Mosley is STILL a top fighter today and I dont see him slowing down for this fight or coming in like a B class fighter...

The Duck's trying to clean up the sport by initiating it with a never-been-tested-positive p4p king, then ended up with a once-proven-positive roid user, p4p-rated second option. Kiss my a55..

[Sparring Gloves]

Don't know about that 1.....he's gonna have an asterix next to his name that said he refused random blood tests......the bottom line is Pac needs Floyd just as much as Floyd needs Pac right now.....and that will be especailly true if Floyd can get past Shane......

If Floyd loses to Shane.....for his detractors at least it will be like he never defeated 4o guys before him....all of Floyds great wins will be forgotten...If Pac loses to Clottey its all good.....everyone will say he lost to the bigger man and he was too small to fight a guy who comes in at 165 on fight night.......Floyd is actually SO RIGHT when he says he is always in a no-win situation.....

If floyd beats shane he will get zero credit------------> Mosley is an old man and was too inactive......etc etc...

If Floyd loses to Shane i hoped this will serve as Hydrogen Peroxide to his mouth. If Pac wins to Clottey no deny at all Floyd wants Pac. How can he pay all his debt? Tell me and will he again go for chicken run and fight lower weight class boxers? For sure from there he will keep his legacy as what undefeated Middleweight Boxer that goes to a Lower Class Weight boxer? Is that a legacy?

It is no mystery to boxing fans anymore when it comes to Floyd. If Floyd beats Shane who's next maybe Margarito isn't it good enough till Pac get's old?

Pac is TECHNICALLY better now. That comes with age, experience and a great trainer. Doesn't necessarily have to come from roids.

That's how I see it also. I think Manny was a diamond in the rough who, after several years of experience and technical refinement by Freddie Roach, has become a more effective fighter.

I think Floyd's viewpoint is based on personal experience; he's a gifted athlete who developed advanced skills early on so he has a difficult time imagining how someone could improve to the degree Manny has later on in his career.

In a way it's too bad Manny has decided to stay at WW. I'm convinced he'd fight Marquez differently if they were to meet a third time.
