@Blank Frackis... Hahahaha! Although a little extreme, I get your point!!

[Russian Crushin]

you idiot - how would manny be at a disadvantge - that is weakened - if floyd agrees to the same tests????????

a size difference?

first - let's stop BS'n now about manny being some midget. the dude is shorter, but have you seen his legs? they're like freakin tree trunks....AND...he walks around anywhere between 145-150. he is not dwarf. he's a natural welter at this point.

so let us ALL stop characterzing manny as some "DAVID" who sleighs giants. that was the case back in the day...but homie has physically grown into this welterweight class. period.

Nope, Clotty and Cotto and mosley are natural Welterweights.....walking around at the welterweight limit doesnt make you a welterweight because a natural welterweight would have to lose waterweight to make the limit and walk way above 147

I did not read through the whole thread, so I may be repeating something already mentioned, but...

I remember Freddie Roach going on and on about how Mosley was too big for Pacquiao and how Roach would only consider the fight with Mosley if he came down to 143.

You're so out of date it's ridiculous.

At that time he also said the same about Cotto. Because at that time, he believed, wrongly as it turned out, that 140 was Pacquiao's maximum prime weight. But then he backed down and agreed to let Pacquiao fight Cotto at the weight Cotto said he was comfortable with. And then once Pac had proved he could hang with a true Welterweight at a weight he was comfortable with, he agreed to fight Clottey with no catchweight, which he would not have agreed to before the Cotto fight. And he would have agreed to the same against Mosley (no catchweight) if Mosley had been available to fight him when the Mayweather fight fell through, but Mosley wasn't available then, which is why he fought Clottey.

not a bad idea. Besides, Pac has a history of fighting guys AFTER Floyd already beat them.......lol

Yeah!....Floydie beats them but Pacman destroys them

[Russian Crushin]

It was before the Cotto fight, as I remember.

Yea Freddie didnt know if Manny could handle a Big WW in his first real WW fight. Even i was suprised he could take shots from a hard hitting puncher like Cotto

The first report stating that Pac agree was written by Mark Vester not Ronnie so calm down....Ronnies report denied Mark Vesters report.....so for someone to say that Ronnie is so in love with Pac, your really obsessed with ROnnie :gay:

you're the only one discussing man on man love here. so i'll leave your inner conflict to you. better yet, just come out - you'll feel much better about yourself.

anyway - nathanielsz's piece was a essentially a response to vestor's initial story -DENYING that manny was "bending" to mayweather's demand. in other words...nathanielsz read that initial report and likely said to himself, "oh hell no! i know my man manny isn't bending to anyone! let me write a piece getting the word out that my idol is still unwilling to agree!"

learn to read you simpleton. then go out and get a book to help you address you self-hatred lmao. i'm straight - but that doesn't mean i won't respect you if you come out of the closet and confess your feelings for manny too. lol

Whoever said it makes a great point! All Manny needs to do is take two hair samples and send one to anyone he wants and send the other to anyone Floyd wants and see what happens. Each inch of hair is approx 1 years worth of time so you get three inches and that clears all of Manny's recent fights. I am surprised that was never brought up in the negotiations....

Agreed i thinks so too

Allowing another fighter to order you around puts you at a psychological disadvantage in any fight. That's why GBP refused Judah's demand that Mosley should take tests that weren't mandated by the commission and why GBP claimed at the time that it was wrong to single any fighter out in that way. That's why Mosley-Judah never happened.

Obviously people sit here and don't understand that Hair Samples are not a way to get a pure drug test. And you can't get HGH test through hair samples cause it's a natural hormone your body produces you morons....A hair sample will only tell you if there is human growth in the body and according to how much you lift, ****, train, whatever it varies, so stop with this ****** talk of hair samples.

Plus the Olympic Drug testing it great, Floyd is taking a step above baseball, football, UFC, and every other sport out there. Regardless if it's a tactic or not..Floyd is doing the right thing..

Simple as this, Pac don't do the drug testing, there is no fight. Whether you wanna say Floyd is a ***** or scared, who cares. Bottom line is, PAC doesn't have dog by the collar on this one. Floyd does. He'll make almost 50 million fighting anyone. And you know, what's better fighting Clottey or Mosley? Pac has no say in anything that goes on, he either takes the fight the way floyd does or just take it for what it is..

By the way, Floyd dominated Mosley...Wasn't even a fight after the 2nd round.
