    –verb (used without object)
    4.
    to make concession; yield; admit: She was so persistent that I conceded at last.

    You can't seriously be that daft. It'd hilarious if it weren't sad.

    You claimed I was "showing signs of defeat" by choosing not to respond, which would mean I was conceding by not responding, hence my recommendation of the term.

          You didn't "choose" not to respond, you couldn't. Case and point, Im still waiting for your response and answers to post #69. Did you concede?

            Besides "Young Frankenstein" I've never been a big Monty Python fan. Im open minded though so I'll check it out when I get the chance.

              I couldn't respond to the same redundant post that's been addressed thousands of times on these boards? Incorrect. When I make a conscience decision not to do something, that falls under choices.

              I see you took me up on my recommendation. It seems my lesson was useful. Anyhow, you were given an answer in post #70. In case you've failed to notice, I'll make it clear. I no longer care to discuss the happenings and failures of the Pac-Mayweather discussions.

              Take that as you will. Next.

                So you didn't have any answers but you have made a CONSCIOUS decision to keep posting about nothing at all for your last 7 or 8 posts? BRILLIANT!!!

                  And that to you is the issue? Killing the fight?

                    Jab, I understand your point, and it's a valid one. But let me ask you this: assuming that Floyd truly believes Manny is on steroids, don't you think it's reasonable of him to ask for stricter tests not usually required of other fighters? Your rationale presumes that Mayweather is making up the rules as he goes along, that he wants to be special, and that he's ducking if things don't go his way.

                    As I've said before, I don't know whether Manny is juicing or not. But in this day and age, and given his unprecedented rise through the ranks, it's understandable why some people might be convinced he is. Would you go into a boxing match with someone you believe to be carrying an unlawful weapon?

                    Pacquiao could be trying to avoid detection. Or maybe he's just indignant at what he considers Mayweather's BS. Fair or not, the ball is in Manny's court. He's the one holding up the fight.

                      The issue I have is it not being a rule and people blaming Pac for the fight falling apart. Make it a rule, I'll support it. If Manny had ever tested dirty before, I'd support it. Buy make it happen the right way. The Mayweathers tried to force Pacs hand by convicting him in the media with no proof. Sorry, but that is not the way to change boxing and it makes all his talk of cleaning up boxing look like what it really is...self serving.
