Here is why Mayweather needs Pac more

[tacoboxer]

Right now, Manny is considered by many, including all the experts and analysts to be ranked higher as an ATG compared to Floyd(dont bother arguing this, it has been done a million x before).

If Flloyd beats Pac while he is on his peak, im sure he will instantly shoot higher than Pac and other ATGs, especially if he beats Mosely convincingly.

So i think if Floyd cares about his legacy at all, he should drop the demands that he wants and fight Pac, which i think he is the favorite to win if it happens.

I'm glad you brought up legacy.... lets talk about that for a minute.

If you had to choose your legacy as a fighter..... which would you choose?

One fighter (regardless if he is considered amongst the all-time greats in boxing) will be remembered as one of the best fighters in his era, for making a fundamental change that improved the sport of boxing and benefited all fighters to follow. He will also be remembered for the fight that didnt happen.... for never fighting one of the best fighters of his era because the other fighter didn't think additional testing to clean up the sport was necessary.

OR

One fighter (regardless if he is considered amongst the all-time greats in boxing) will be remembered as one of the best fighters of his era and for never facing one of the best fighters in his era. He turned down the opportunity because he didn't agree with additional measures that were just begining to take place to clean up the sport. He was suspected of being an unclean fighter but nothing was ever proven. He went on to fight others that didn't require him to test and ended up leaving the sport at the exact same time that the sport of boxing was cleaning out fighters using PED's use to protect clean fighters.

History alone will judge....... Its pretty clear to me what leagacy I would choose.

Wow, you just resorted to that level. Sad, surely you have lost some love for Pac after not allowing possibly the biggest fight in history to happen. The man is guilty, you know it, I know it, and anybody with a common sense brain knows it, Pac has fought for less than ten million many times, but turns down 40 million over a random test, key word RANDOM, not scheduled, where he can get the drugs out of his system, but RANDOM, its so obvious.

i wanted the fight to happen no doubt............if PAC was comfortable...............i had no reason to doubt that.......just like when cotto fought at 145...........................i really thought floyd was playin his mind games..........and it went overboard.....................

Do you realize the hate Floyd would get if it was Pac who wanted the drug test and Floyd declined? You people would be saying "AHA" Floyd must be on something, a got you moment on Floyd.

Floyd doesnt need Pac, because Floyd is content with his skills, he feels he's better then anyone... Pac on the otherhand is tryin to live up to what people bill him as thus, he will fight anyone, except Floyd because Floyd holds himself and his opponents to higher standards, and Pac didnt wanna live to that standard!

i wont deny that.........its the consequence/privilege...........of their persona.............................and the main whistle blower is a convicted drug distributor.........................this will be laughed at................like Alis "unpatriotism" in my opinion..............

Not to change the subject, but how was Ali unpatriotic? For not fighting for a country where he couldnt even eat beside them in a resturaunt, dont blame him.

Ali is applauded these days for taking such a stance.

Mayweather is the biggest name, sells the most PPV, makes the most money, is going into the biggest fight of the year...yet TS says he needs Pac more????? really?!

[BuckToothed]

That was at first, now alot more of the boxing community are on board after Pac turned down a possible 40 million over a test, its gonna get worse, more and more commission will require it to be mandatory. Would you turn down 40 million to give a little blood? Surely sometime in your life you let the doctor stick you in your arm for free.

I really don't understand why people insist on using the bolded line to justify why Pac should take the test. You are not Pac or Floyd, that type of money is new to you, of course you'll jump thru hoops to get in on that.

Lets scale that down to where you are in the corporate food chain. Lets say you are making $50k/yr and you are a top employee in your company. Now your boss calls you in and tells you that you are too smart, more so than others. He wants you to take an aptitude test to guarantee you are not cheating or else he won't pay you anymore. While the rest of your peers doesn't have to take this test and you are being singled-out.

For $50k/yr, would you put your integrity on the line after you are accused of being a fraud? Would you take that aptitude test so you can keep your salary while your peers don't have to?

If it was me, a middle finger would be in order... then a resignation, followed by a lawsuit. I would take a less paying job where they appreaciate what I bring to the table rather than question my intelligence.

hmm, that sounds like what Pac did...
