Comments Thread For: Mayweather Will Never Fight Pacquiao, Says Ariza/Salud

[inferno]

Speaking of Mosley, he did pass the standard test while "unknowingly" taking illegal substances. I don't see what the issue is for Pacquiao to agree to the highest paying fight of his career with a test that would clear his name and help his defamation case against the Mayweather's. What better evidence than the more accurate tests that Floyd is asking for as proof that the claims of him being on p.e.d.'s is false? On top of that, he would get he opportunity to shut him up in the ring and cement his legacy while making Floyd eat all his words. To me, there is only one reason not to agree to the testing....

Mayweather will beat the hell out of Pac

i dont know man, that is what i used to think, but may is only in the game for the paycheck while guys like manny and shane are here for the competition and passion.
floyd pot shots and flees, i dont think he is active enough and will lose rounds against both shane and pac.
but then i have shane beating pac as i think that would be a war that shane would win. even tho pac is so agile and lateral i think he is there to be hit and shane is stronger and can take more.

What if Pac submits himself right now to a test, will it shut your and their mouth?

Yeah right you can't...them also...

that is a good point. however, it is hard to understand these superstars man. they all have that narcissistic trait where they may think they are not gonna be dictated by anyone, anytime, no matter how much money can be out there.
i originally thought the same about pac, but think about it. would you give a 30 million dollar payday to floyd and his thug family after slandering your name to the entire world for no reason? especially if you can still go out and make 5-10 mill a fight.
it is hard to know what exactly is in these guys heads

That's a Bull**** cop out excuse because Pac, Floyd, Mosley
and whoever it is that is making MILLIONS are all greedy and money
hungry so don't get it twisted. It's obvious to me that Manny wasn't
ready because Roach said the **** himself.

This Ronnie guy is an awful writer. If I had written 'Clottey has tough black skin like a water buffalo' I'd be banned within 10 minutes. This guy gets that nonsense on the front page.

Horrendous.

[Carpe Diem]

i stopped reading when he said clottey has better defense than mayweather.

"all floyd does is roll his shoulders, lean back and run". what a dumbass, this is a strenght and conditioning coach and he just showed how little he really knows about boxing.

the so called running is called lateral movement, comes down to footwork which is one of the keys to being a good fighter. as a fighter u are not supposed to stand in front of your oponent but rather sidestep and always be at an angle. thats moving and is what floyd does along wit all other great pure boxers. running is something entirely diffrent, just trying to stay away from your oponent. trying just to not get hit, floyd tries not to get hit but hits u back aswell. hit and not get hit is what boxing is all about.

leaning back shows how great his timing and sense of distance is. and hes a master at rolling his shoulders. clottey has good defense but its not on the level of mayweather. hes always there to be hit even if he blocks it, allowing ppl to tee of on him, like pac did for 12 rounds. so he can be outworked, and he alos doesnt present much counterpunching when hes in his defenseive shell. floyd can get of at any time.

bcuz of floyds ability to make a punch miss by moving out of the way rather than blocking, and then eighter stepping to the side or countering, he wouldnt allow pac to get of his combinations.

he would just use his height, reach and timing and would frustrate pac on the outside with lateral movement. keeping pac from letting his hands go like he has against all the tailor made oponents who are willing to stand right in front of him.

No, Boxing is all about brawling with your opponent(s) to see whose gonna get KO first.

No need to speculate since Pac is "scared of needles" and "superstitious" right? Mosley agreed to the testing and as I pointed out before, he had passed the standard testing while taking illegal substances. I know how this can all get solved...the Nevada boxing commission should step up and adopt the Olympic standards for championship fights.

Ok. So I wasn't the only one who saw that ****? I used to give Ronnie a pass for writing biased articles. NOW!!!!! I will not look at this fella the same. It's one thing to see comments of that nature on a thread or post from a blogger, but it is totally a different thing coming from a professional writer. I'm VERY disappointed to say the least.

This i support and agree wholeheartedly. The sport should step up their standards even if a bit.
