Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant on Floyd Mayweather, History and Legacy

[Sugar Q]

You forget Manny agreed to the test but not the cut off date.No?Look what happen to Mosley the man getting ready to leave for Vegas and here they come to test him.IMO that was not cool.

Lol, come on Rome you know the 24 day thing is BS. If the test isn't random it's useless and you know it.

merchant is a *******, ******, and old tard. This guy goes on to say mayweather hasn't fought the most challenging fighters, but then goes on to say that he needs to fight Crackquiao!?!?!?. Anybody with half a brain knows that pac is not, and will not be the most challenging fighter. Just another small fighter with a big following like hatton and marquez!!!! This old fart does not see that he is contradicting himself. I can't believe you idiots on here are actually saying that merchant is spitting the truth. You guys are morons. I can't wait till pac gets his ass whipped so that we can get fans with some logic back in this sport.

they also said in ring magazine that floyd should stop ducking hatton. then he beats hatton and the same people said its a shame the way he beat up little ricky. double standard.

******* means your in love with Pac, but i didnt hear his name once in the article...

And to actually say Mosley ducked Floyd is one of the ******iest things ive ever heard.....EVERY single person including you knows Shane had been calling Floyd out for like 5-6 years during his Prime. If you didnt know that then you just started following boxing.

Its funny how a guy whos been in boxing for 50 years tells the truth about your fighter and you get real defensive

you are obviously delusional, dumb, or just havent been watching boxing long enough...after shane beat oscar floyd has been calling him out in many well documented instances..infact if you youtube it there is a video where after a fight floyd calls out shane...in another post-fight interview i believe that, that same old f&cker merchant asked mosely would he fight floyd and he responded with; he has to go on vacation and that his tooth is hurting and he has to check his tooth out...then he said that floyd should fight someone else..educate yourself so you dont sound as ****** as you are.

ya there in lies the problem with that test.

if you havent eaten food or drank water for days, then they take blood that will be detrimental to your health, definitely


i think a 14 day cutoff should be good with the test following the fight in the locker room

i think that should be agreeable

You people really need to stop convincing yourselves that the amount of blood taken for a drug test is somehow detrimental to your health. Use your brains people. You have the internet, no excuses.

Rome my dude you know Manny isn't being fair. Floyd gave him what he asked for but when he made a request Team Pac succeeded in Making it seem like Floyd made unwarranted demands which isn't true. Where was the outrage when Manny made Cotto defend his own title at a catch-wt? There was very slim outrage but that was outrageous. That's where I am with this. Manny seems to get his way with everything now when a more successful fighter comes along he has a problem. Manny single handedly overstepped the WBC's rules and they made a special title for him to do it with. WBC Daimond belt. The only one not compromising here is Manny.

Sugar he agreed to the testing but just not the cut off date come-on so who is not being fare?

But remember Shane leaned more towards blood testing while Pac is totally against it. I think a proper time is up to 5 days before the fight cause in Manny's own lies I mean words he said that he needs 3 days to recover so I threw in a extra 2 for the BS.

[King Ju-Ju]

**** you dude. Damn right I'm hot **** only a **** would have a problem with that. Why would you care about what another man thinks of himself. That in itself is ****. If you don't like what I write be a real man and overlook it. Who are you the Lone internet ranger that think you can stop it. Just keep it movin cause Immo be me.

man, please. your a ****ing ******. dont flip it. on top of that, you think your some1 with more knowledge about this sport cuz you hang out with boxing people. sorry dude, your just another dumb mayweather fan 2 me. peace!!!

The truth is WE ALL HAVE TAKEN BLOOD TEST and we know that by the time we return home from the doctor the only thing we remember is the band aid.
As kids they can take vials of blood from us and we just get up the next minute like nothing ever happened so the blood thing is so full of sh-t it's unbearable and we're talking about a guy that fights in a blood sport.
