we are not doing this duck who duck who

dude posted 4 videos from 2005-2010 of shane calling floyd out

secondly, people hate floyd because he is a classless douchebag

my dad and uncle, huge fans of boxing from the 60,70,80,90's wont watch floyd because they feel he is a disgrace to the sport, a total classless thug with a thug family.


dude this argument has gone on for 6 months, where have you been[/QUOTE

cool the facts are out there...they fought anyway..something pac was scared to do..and ok floyd is classless and a douchebag..what are you a boxing fan or a personality judge? Let facts be facts and judge him inside the ring. And what is a thug familiy..sounds like you guys might be racist or atleast feel like ya better then other families..dont judge no one especially if you are not involved their family affairs...

sure im a boxing fan but if floyd puts himself out there like that then it is fair to judge him as a douchebag

[Tweezy316]

floyd chooses to fight a 39 year old past his prime mosley then complains that people say he is fighting a 39 year old past his prime mosley............

prior, floyd fights a 135lb jmm then comes in over the contractural agreement... jmm has no chance, none, hits mayweather with a straight right and didnt even phase him. no chance for jmm.

floyd fights zab after zab loses to baldomir, brian kenny calls him out and floyd gets heated saying zab is the ww champ, kenny tells him he is a paper champ, floyd says he has the belt,

but now floyd wont fight an elite for a belt, because he dont like belts.

then he fights baldomir,---------do i have to comment about this?

so floyd can only be mad at himself, not the boxing fans.

if he fights sergio at 154 or paul williams who are both real threats then he would gain more respect.
i think he boxes pwill to death and the martinez fight would be more competitive because sergio is slick as well

pac will never happen, even tho i think may beats pac

my point is floyd brings this upon himself, if he wants to fight for money then cool, but dont come out and say you are the best ever when you wont fight the best.

he had a chance to fight an elite cotto, margacheato and shane, but didnt

hmmm still bitter over that beat down floyd gave shane? you just said floyd didn't fight an elite shane but yet you we're going on and on about how shane was gonna beat may. So get outta here with that weak argument. Pac fought Clottey who was comin off a loss and he got praised. And now he wants to fight Margarito who isn't **** without his plaster and i bet you he gets praised for that. so all that talk about floyd brought it on himself naw it's all about race. And can't nobody change my mind on that.

It's not "their" thinking that I don't understand, it's Pacquiao's thinking that I don't understand. I understand where Mayweather is coming from, he's been consistent. The drug testing demands were in the contract on his behalf from the very beginning. It's Pacquiao and his team that have been all over the place. You seem to be making excuses from him and his inconsistency when you say that you understand his side while putting the blame on both sides. Pacquiao and his ego/insecurity isn't a reasonable excuse in my opinion. If he is refusing to comply with Mayweather's requests simply because of ego or because somebody's accusations hurt his "pride", then he needs to be held accountable for that by the true fans of the sport.

Why do you understand May's thinking but not Pac's?I think they both have valid points and team Maywheather has alot of balls to accuse someone with no proof.

Very Sugary of you Sugar.

Yea that was sweet like a left hook off a jab. :-)

hahaha

have you ever been around pro athletes?

i had the honor of playing baseball and being around these elites, they are a different breed.

thats all

You misunderstood. I have no doubt that Pacquiao has a huge ego. With the type of fans that he has, how could he not? Most people here act like he walks on water and can do no wrong. My point is that you shouldn't excuse su****ious nonsensical behavior simply because his ego or pride may be to blame. Pacquiao has made himself look su****ious with this whole random drug testing thing. I'm not going to ignore that simply because the guy has a huge ego. Mayweather has an enormous ego as well, but he still agreed to Pacquiao's demands and even compromised on his 1 and only demand in an effort to make the fight.

i think he should have taken the tests because if innocent then why not?

but i am saying i understand how these guys have egos that get in the way

i dont condone or agree with it, but i understand it


i just want the fight to happen

and if it does i would be picking floyd to knock pac out.

You seem to be contradicting yourself, but it's all good my man. I think that he should take the tests as well, and I don't understand why he's refusing. To me, it can't just be all about ego and not wanting to bow down to Mayweather. Like I've said over and over, Mayweather bowed down to Pacquiao by agreeing to his demands and compromising on his own. To me, Pacquiao is either using something or he just doesn't want the fight. Believing that this is all about ego is a little naive.

pac fought a punching bag that came off a loss and didnt show a killer instinct against cotto

margacheato is a piece of **** and doesnt deserve to fight ever again, anywhere

was floyd not complaining before the fight? but he choose to put himself in that situation did he not?

Tweez my dude. Unfortunately your right.

I clearly explained why I understand Mayweather'sthinking and not Pacquiao's. Team Mayweather has remained consistent while Team Pacquiao has contradicted themselves left and right.

How can there be proof if the guy refuses the testing that can possibly provide the proof? We all know that there are ways around the current drug testing system, so why keep parroting this "no proof no proof" nonsense?
