Comments Thread For: Mayweather Takes Verbal Shots at Pacquiao and Mosley

[Singleton]

If Pac agreed to the testing how could Mayweather diminish anything? Is Shane Mosley diminished because he's taking the test? Now if Shane ran from the test then he'd look su****ious wouldn't he?

Shane couldn't run from that Drug test because he needs that fight to get paid well. He's already in the final stage of his career.

VALERO 27 - 0, 27 KO's.. must be on something??? Should take USADA RANDOM BLOOD TEST for next fight? What do you thing fellows???

We'll never have great athletes in any sport if people are thinking this way. If someone looks impressive then "he's might be on something" are already on their minds.

Cleaning the sport

I'd rather go to the commission first and request for additional testing and not just shout to the whole world that "I want this, I want that". If someone would really want to clean the sport, then why not go the governing body so that anyone would be obliged to take the test?

I would of certainly took the 25 million drug test. If Pacquiao truly had pride he would take the test. Fleeing like a punk is not pride.

Not really. Your thinking with a poor man's POV. If you're king of the world and at the top of your game with oodles of money in the bank and not broke (like Floyd), why would you bow down to some ****** demands of a punk?

A man of pride will simply refuse the demands of a trash talking drug user and move on and fight another worthy foe, which Manny just did.

Bert Sugar, Dan Rafael and Larry Merchant.....??? hahaha.....GTFO

Bert Sugar would have to be the most pompous "expert" in the sport today. He has not been relevant for 2 decades.

I have only ever heard Merchant praise Mayweather twice. Once was when he annihilated Corrales...the other when Mayweather fought Judah (the only fighter Merchant hates more than Mayweather)

Rafael = reporter.....nuff said.


Switchsouthpaw = biggest mayweather hater on BS.

Hook on a serious note what goes through your head when you're giving Floyd hand jobs?

Exactly. I'm glad Pacquiao turned down Mayweather to show that he still has his pride instead of being a "slave"...

There are people who's opinions that I trust, but when it comes down to it I can form and support my own opinions. So what those people share your position on this issue? Atlas and many others agree with my position, but I don't need to bring them up in order to support my opinion.I have to be honest, you don't seem capable of backing your opinion up with an intelligent supporting argument.

I formed my own opinion about Mayweather years ago and it hasn't changed. I have many posts where I supported my opinions regarding Mayweather with factually based arguments. I'm not going to retread all of those posts simply because my point of view is not in line with yours. In fact I'm free thinking as evidenced by the fact that a lot of posters obviously disagree with my assessments and that is okay because I will make them anyway. I brought up those gentleman because I respect them as journalists/experts in the field of boxing. Regarding your text which I've underlined above, a similar inference could be drawn regarding your posts as it seems the entire crux of your argument has been to attack my position without supporting your own...irony.

Unfortunately I think it's the exact opposite. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or personally insult you, I just take issue with you not being able to support your argument here. You answer a question with a question. It doesn't get much weaker than that.

No worries you wouldn't hurt my feelings. I'm over the age of 25 and it would be quite sad if anyone got their feelings hurt on an online forum lol. I haven't taken anything you've said personally, so have at it. Sometimes raising questions can offer more insight, than just offering blanket canned responses.

You accusing me of being emotional is ironic seeing how it's you who's concerning yourself with motivations and things like that. Not only are you trying to analyze and critique Mayweather's motives for requesting more stringent testing. You're trying to critique the motives of posters who are in favor of more stringent testing, and it's all in defense of Pacquiao. You're obviously emotionally invested in protecting and making excuses for Pacquiao. All I care about as a boxing fans is that the fight didn't get made because one of the fighters refused to agree to random blood testing. If the situation was reversed, I'd look at Mayweather with su****ion.

Criticism is a healthy part of all online forums, without it there would exist no room for healthy debate. I'm not emotionally invested in protecting or making excuses for Pac, frankly I could care less about the man apart from being a fan but as I've said in many other threads, if the commission requests blood tests and he refuses to comply, then by all means he deserves the criticism and rightfully so. Mayweather does not represent the commission and one man is not bigger than the sport.You and I happen to differ on how those rules should be applied and by whom. So again you can choose to attack the post or me, either way it's of little consequence to me.

This "rules" BS is another tired argument. Rules in boxing are negotiated on a fight by fight basis, especially when talking about the big fights. That's why Pacquiao was allowed to request that insane weight penalty clause. Do you think that 10 million dollar penalty clause is part of the standard rules in Nevada? How about the clause he requested to have Cotto come in at a catchweight to defend his own title? Please retire this tired excuse with the "Pacquiao is innocnet until proven guilty" excuse.

Rules in boxing are negotiated contractually. Drug testing is overseen by the athletic commission in a given jurisdiction, more testing on top of that can be included in the contract terms for either fighter if pre-negotiated. I've spoken personally to Jeff Mayweather years ago and my opinions regarding Floyd and his motives were strengthened then. Like I said you don't have to agree with me, nor am I looking for you or anyone else to agree with my positions hence why I can stand up and support my own opinions.
