Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Willing To Meet Mayweather's 14-Day Number

Is a few days more or less than 14, Dave? Second, have we now changed our stance from "Most PED experts" to "every serious journalist"? Which is it, Mr. Objective?If you infer you're not being objective. He said a few days in the link you gave. It's obvious that the reason he wouldn't go lower than 24 at that time wasn't that he really thought "a few" = 30 (your inference), but that he wasn't willing to take his orders from Mayweather. Pretty well every serious journalist I've read on the subject agrees with me about that inference and disagrees with you.
So when Pacquiao refused to budge from 24, he was telling the truth about Floyd being bigger therefore the tests would weaken him more? Was he? If yes, is he telling the truth now? You cant have it both ways...not if you're objective. Of course, when you're not, then saying no to 14 days is ok two months ago, and saying yes to 14 days is ok now.You're being ridiculous by claiming he was lying on either occasion.Comment

I was talking about different things, and you know it. Serious boxing journalists are qualified to express informed opinions about boxers' motivations, while PED experts are qualified to express informed opinions about the PEDs themselves.
He used the "Floyd is bigger" argument much later, and while it was a silly argument and he was misinformed, it's equally silly to call it a lie.
So was De La Hoya lying because he backed down on his demands for the Pac fight, and compromised, when he'd said previously that he wouldn't back down? Were Hatton and Cotto lying when they did the same?Comment

Q: One other thing I wanted to touch base with you on -- when the Mayweather-Pacquiao discussions finally fell apart at the beginning of the month, it came down to a 10-day differential; Mayweather bent to 'I'll agree to 14 days prior to the event when there will be no blood testing,' and Pacquiao wouldn't go later than 24 days. Even if Mayweather had yielded to 24 days, what can an athlete do in 24 days? I mean, if you're clean 24 days before the fight, what can you do in the next 24 days that would have any impact on the fight whatsoever?
A: "The human growth hormone for sure, levels of testosterone, and other designer steroids.
Q: If I had 72 hours, could I mask EPO?
A: "Yeah."
Q: If I knew it was coming, I could mask it?
A: "Yeah. Same with steroids."
Q: How quickly could I mask it? What's the shortest time frame, if I knew it was coming, that I could mask it?
A: "I mean, we do no notice. We literally show up, and knock on a door, and we find them."
Q: My question is, if I knew 20 hours before the test, would I have time to mask it? Six hours? One hour? What would it be?
A: "Yep, all that."
Q: If I knew 10 minutes before test, could I mask it?
A: "Yep. If you had some urine and a Whizzinator, 10 minutes before, you could mask it. If you had a catheter, which is not that tough to do, you could do it."

I think that's pretty clear...Comment

OK...so who are the "most experts" who said 24 days is reasonable? Name them. Since most of them said that.
Liar? ******? Either way, I don't support it. Man up and take the test and stop hiding behind ******ity. That's no excuse.He used the "Floyd is bigger" argument much later, and while it was a silly argument and he was misinformed, it's equally silly to call it a lie.
How does that fit into this? Manny Pacquiao said he can't have his blood taken the day of the fight because it weakens him. Then it moved to the day before. Then it moved to 14 days. Then it moved to 30. Then 24. So, in other words...pick a lie.So was De La Hoya lying because he backed down on his demands for the Pac fight, and compromised, when he'd said previously that he wouldn't back down? Were Hatton and Cotto lying when they did the same?Comment

Gayweather will always come up with all sorts of excuses to avoid the Top in prime opponents like Pacman.
