Very Good informative Larry Merchant interview regarding Floyd/Pac.

[The Big Dunn]

Those guys will never get that because they are nuthuggers. Floyd knows Pac could beat him which is why he is making an effort to make sure Pac isn't on anything. All Merchant is doing is basically taking Floyd on his word, as far as Pac being "easy work" or "one deminsional". If he is really that, why the USADA test? The short answer is because Floyd knows deep down inside that Manny is a huge threat. If he wasn't Floyd would let him do whatever, beat his @ss easy, and make 40 million by beating a inferior fighter.

Could floyd or his dad, uncles , etc. heard rumors about Pac within the boxing community and simply want him to take tests? Could that be possible?

can thread starter post the actual link to the article?

All Floyd is asking for is a drug test and now hes afraid of him gimme a break.

But he did state he would question floyd.

The thing is if floyd questions pac and doesn't fight if Pac doesn't take tests then, as much as larry may hate it, thats floyd standing up for his beliefs and being true to his word. I thought thats what honorable men do. So why not praise floyd for being true to his word and not taking the money?

If Manny doesn't take test and say he wont because of principle, then Larry is giving him respect for standing up for his self and not being "bullied". Do you see the contradiction in larry's logic?

Well according to Floyd "if it dont make $$'s, it dont make sense" Mayweather, he's in the "check cashing business".

He's only interested in a paycheck as he claims, so if that's the case, he's only calling Floyd out on what Floyd builds his persona around.

Now i'm not saying its right, but Floyd built his whole image around money. Larry's just calling it how he sees it.

Regardless of your stance on the subject, you must admit that Larry makes some excellent points here!

This wasn't informative at all. It was speculative.

A good amount of people look at it that way, the same as people who think Pac is hiding something. Depends what side of the fence you're on. I hear both from all sorts of people. Depends what you want to believe.

Especially when it is KNOWN FACT that the Wild Card Gym has been a hotbed for juicers.

Anyone who says that Pac and Floyd are scared of each other are ******. No way around it. If he takes the tests Floyd will fight him I mean people cant grasp that concept.

So is thinking someone is using PEDs without actual proof
