What created more doubt in your Mind?

[AllEyesOpen]

I never gave a crap about what Mayweather Sr. had to say about anything, but it was Pacquiao's own actions that created more doubt in my mind then anything anyone could say about him.

My question is simply this;

What created more doubt in the mind of fans and tainted Pacquiao's legacy more; the baseless allegations or the actions of Pacquiao and his camp?

[AllEyesOpen]

Bump. Still would like to get more votes and feedback on this topic.

There are no doubts in my mind at all. Pac is clean until proven otherwise.

Man, I'm not taking anymore shorts. You've got to be a real dumb ass to avoid reading between the lines. No need for threads like this. The hopeless can't get his juiced up balls out of their mouth

Nobody really put much weight behind old Floyds comments, it was when Pacquiaos camp refused the testing that put doubts in peoples minds.

Depends how you look at it...

For all we know, there could be more than the blood test for the fight not happening along with a lot of other obstacles. It does make Pacquiao a bit su****ious if he's not carrying out the random drug test and Mosley now is going to. Even with that being said, I've always stood by the ground that the Pacquiao team were just putting their foot down as well as both fighters having big egos.

I have a feeling it wasn't just blood or drug tests that put a halt to this fight, but obviously everyone's entitled to speculate.

The same could be said about the 10 mil per pound penalty, Mayweather could have brought up the blood testing to put his foot down. No one knows why this fight fell apart except those involved but i'm curious more about Pacquiao's actions leading up until the fight not happening and afterwards. Mayweather went on and asked Mosley for these tests, Pacquiao did not against a fighter who come in even bigger on fight night then Mayweather/Mosley or even Cotto for that matter.

It all boils down to ego's and games. LOL at the people that see it as "proof"

[Chuckguy]

To me it works both ways
for example Manny not testing "randomly" is a joke and brings a big cloud of su****ion
then again Floyds camp saying he beats a juiced manny then not making it happen all brings up doubt (they doubt that floyd can beat manny)

The real losers are the true boxing fans of the world like us who want to see a good scrap

but we got two other fights out of it
Floyd and SSM >>> Pac and clottey

But also, in the public eye it'll further help Mosley get away from his own issues he's dealt with during the whole Balco scandal, so he's really got no choice in the matter...plus it's the biggest payday he's seen possibly since Oscar (or maybe more).

As far as what Pacquiao's team were demanding, it wasn't out of the blue more than Floyd contractually agreeing to fight Marquez at 144 and coming in at 146, so you can look at that and say it makes sense because you have something to base it on more than turning it around and accusing someone of HGH or steroids when there's no smoking gun. But I think in the end Floyd achieved what he wanted for the most part, he turned the focus off Pacquiao being considered the #1 fighter to possibly being a cheater. You think Floyd is mad at that right now? Absolutely not...
