Comments Thread For: Joshua Clottey Dissects The Manny Pacquiao/Steroids Myth

[pugay_kamay]

Clottey isnt being naive,he knows Pacquiao's ass is roided.It's just his bargaining power isnt much so he takes whatever he's given.He just wants a pay day and it's not wise to feed the hand that bites him.An attack on Pacquiao would be an attack on Arum so he will just have to fight this cheat.

Trust is out of question,Pacquiao cheated on his wife so anyone who brings trust in this is damn right not very wise.Trust doesnt stop people from cheating and until Pacquiao does random blood tests he will always be a dubious person in boxing circles

Where is your proof dude?

This will be the first WW fight in which Pacquiao will take on a boxer that has been fighting in the WW division for the past few years, the opposing fighter is not weight drained or the fight has weight limitations (catchweight or fight night weight restrictions).

A step in the right direction if Pacquiao wants to be really taken seriously at WW. As a matter of fact, this will be his toughest fight since the Marquez II fight because he will be fighting a fighter that has not been recently KO'd or is weight drained.

Only Oscar was weight drained whom Pac fought and Oscar did it to himself, not Pac.

From what I have seen Clottey is way too friendly and respectful with Pac and he better get his mean streak going if plans on winning.

Why should Pac be dictated to, and agree to many needle jabs at random times in the days leading up to a fight???he'll do whatever the Commission tells him to do!!!

Because he says he wants to fight Floyd so bad, and to "beat him in the worst possible way". If he really wants to do that, all he has to do is take the tests. And the boxing Commissions are notorious for being lenient on drug abuse. In Texas, where the Clottey fight is being held, the Commission doesn't require any drugs tests at all, not even urine ones. There is almost certainly a great deal of drug abuse in the sport, and although Floyd's motives are extremely dubious, and although most unbiased people do not think there is any reason to suspect Pac, the principle that all big fights should be subject to Olympic-style drug testing is an obviously very good principle.

But he refuses to be BULLIED by The Pretty One, knowing that if he agreed to the NONSENSE, PBF would come up with a NEW EXCUSE to PUNK OUT!!!

If Pac called Floyd's bluff and then Floyd punked out of the fight, that would not be a case of Pac being bullied - that would be a case of Pac showing Floyd up, for all to see! That's just a silly statement on your part. Obviously it would be in Pac's interests to show Floyd up. And if Floyd didn't punk out, then Pac would get the fight he claims he wants so much.
