Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Will Fight Mayweather-Mosley Winner, Says Roach

[switchsouthpaw]

damn man you sound dumb...

#1 Cotto, Hatton & Mayweather were ALL champs @140lbs....Arum & Hattons dad wanted nothing to do with Mayweather

#2 You saying Zab wasnt a full fledged WW is absurd, he had 6 fights @ WW & was the undisputed WW champ..Mayweather had only 1 @ Zab has more fights @140lbs than Floyd did

#3 Mayweather didnt win any of this WW titles...at a catchweight

#4 The belt that Pac took from Cotto was just a vacant belt that Cotto won

Cotto HAS NEVER Beat a welterweight champion for any of his titles

I will let Dougie Fischer sum it up best, as this was his "educated" response to a Floyd fan, in his recent mailbag.

You have a warped take on recent history, Tommy. There was no huge public demand for Mayweather to fight Baldomir or Hatton. Prior to the De La Hoya fight, Floyd was only known by hardcore fans and the diehards wanted him to fight badass welterweights like Margarito and Cotto. No one gave a rat’s ass about Baldomir (who was just a Zab Judah creation) and PPV numbers to this fight support my claim. If you can find more than five credible boxing writers who thought Baldomir had a chance in hell to beat Mayweather I’ll mail you a $100 bill.

Post-De La Hoya nobody cared to see Mayweather defend the welterweight title against Hatton, a guy who went life and death with Luis Collazo at welterweight and who looked ordinary in out-pointing Juan Urango at 140 pounds. I’ll say this about the Hatton fight, at least the Brit’s popularity and HBO’s 24/7 series made for an event that helped to further Mayweather’s crossover celebrity that began with the De La Hoya fight.

However, Mayweather “retired” rather than face the media’s and the public’s demand to fight the winner of Cotto-Margarito. And he fought the 36-year-old lightweight champ when he decided to come back.

It’s funny. Before he fought De La Hoya, Mayweather claimed that Goldie only fought smaller and older fighters on his way up. Now look what Mayweather does while on top of the proverbial mountain. At least the next “old man” Mayweather faces is a real welterweight.

You might be right about Mayweather’s chances vs. Mosley, Pacquiao and P-Will, but we’ll never know until he fights them. One fight at a time, kid. Let’s see what happens on May 1.

Your thoughts on Mayweather vs. the Greats are absolutely ridiculous and unfounded. Thank you for being honest about not knowing much about Burley. Now be honest about Armstrong and Gavilan and admit that you’ve never seen a complete fight of either all-time great. And if you have, you don’t know what you’re looking at.

so is it about the company doing the RANDOm test or the actual random test themselves?

That makes no sense

Hopefully this will make things a bit more clear. As I mentioned earlier the random testing should be done by the commission to clean up the sport as Floyd had stated, but since these random blood test aren't sanctioned then Manny shouldn't have to abide by random blood testing itself. So it pretty much has to deal with both. Is this not clear enough?

[lskjersey]

Says who? you? *****s?

you && *****s < NSAC || BWAA || ESPN || WBO/WBC/WBA/IBF/Ring

Do your research my friend. Both Rid**** Bowe and Mike Tyson made these same demands and guess what THEY GOT IT. Tyson wanted Evander tested Bowe wanted Golota tested. so you guys can drop thet "no one has ever asked fro this befor excuse" stop quoting one liners and start doing research.

Margerito had his wraps sighned of on by the commission of cali, you do know that right? the guy who was supposed to regulate that MISSED THE PEICE OF BRICK IN THE MANS WRAPS!!!!!!!!!! Brother Nasim who does NOT work for the commission found them.

this plainly proves that the commission cannot alone be trusted with fighter's saftey.

Again i repeat BASED on the commission Margerito's wraps where OK.

nuff said

jersey out

Thank you for posting a known Mayweather hater, Dougie Fischer response


Let me ask you this..had you been in Mayweather's shoes would you have fought Margarito for 8 million and NOT be able to get the Hatton & DLH fights and allowed Bob Arum (A PROMOTER YOU JUST LEFT TO HAVE FUTURE OPTIONS ON U?) Or would you have fought Baldomir for 8 Million, then Oscar for 30 million plus then Hatton for 20 million plus?

PLEASE RESPOND with "logic"

[switchsouthpaw]

Switch you seem like a somewhat intelligent guy but this is like defending Charles Manson, it can't be defended. There's no defense for Pacroid not being willing to submit to random testing. By Mosley coming forward and saying he wants to prove to everyone he's clean Pacroid has absolutely no recourse but to come clean or retire. He's no different than and other athlete. Certainly not bigger than boxing. Someone needs to sit him down and tell him that. He's not even the biggest draw in boxing.

Sugar I could see when you're coming from, believe me I get it. I hold no secret that I think Floyd is a first class prick, but I do acknowledge where you're coming from. Neither of those guys are bigger than the sport of boxing, the last truly iconic figure in boxing at least according to my opinion was Tyson and Peter McNeely.

I can't believe people are still giving Floyd hell for him fighting for the Lineal Belt.

Dougie attended Columbia University, you can barely write in coherent sentences.

They need to work something out. I don't see why they couldn't work with the 2 week cut off date.

[jtiger78]

I hate BS!! All we get is BS instead of straight talk. Is random testing needed and good for boxing? How can anyone be a fan of someone not willing to be randomly tested? Phuck anybody who says Floyd should fight this clown anyway cause if he should then Barry Bonds is the homerun king. Manny's little monkey ass needs to man up and take the test or retire. If Floyd had plaster in his handwraps or was under su****ion for using a PED the world would be calling for his head. Not only would he be through in the ring he would certainly do jail time. People talk **** about the 0 but why is Marciano so great?
