Why Did Pacquiao Say Floyd Was Too Big?

Yeah except that's clinically false. FALSE.It was in relation to blood testing. He meant that X amount of blood from him was relatively more than the same amount of blood from Mayweather.
In the same way that I can drink a bottle of wine and be fine, whereas a 5'4 110 lb. blonde would be drunk.
I don't necessarily agree but that's what he meant.
You now have your answer. This thread should now end but it won't.
You now have your rebuttal. Your bull**** should end but it won't.Comment

Pac can't believe he was demanding these tests. Floyd was obviously bigger, has longer reach, he's the better boxer, has 40/0.
Pac was probably thinking he should be the one demanding these tests. Simply embarrassing if you think about it.Comment

It's roughly a teaspoon per test, and there's more than one,
done more than once throughout training, which can fuck it all up
for you, if you're training as hard as Pac usually does.
I had to go through blood tests to monitor suspected hepatitis, and
what you think is just a teaspoon WILL eat into your training, most
definitely in terms of time, because intensive training is on a tight
schedule, and you're expected to rest a bit after blood is drawn, to
prevent a hematoma.
For some people it even has effects on their stamina over the short
term, which again interferes with a tight training schedule. I have
BTDT --had to pull out of a race due to said monitoring for suspected
Hep A... and it wasn't evenm random for me. I can only imagine how
disruptive random testing can be.
That said, there's merit to random testing, and it should be done.
As long as people understand it's not required by NSAC or other
such commissions, and that if one seriously wants the other party
to agree to such tests, they should suggest it with respect.
The manner in which the Mayweathers proposed it ensured thst
Pac would be insulted beyond a realistic chance of agreement.
Call it a test of egos or wills, but Floyd et al did not allow OST
the best possible chance to be agreed upon by both parties.
Floyd et al sabotaged the very proposal they were making.

I respect many of your contributions to this board, but you might
reconsider that gross simplification and logical fallacy.
If an athlete's body and training regimen has developed around the
context of random OST, then presumably any negative physiological
and psychological effects of OST's have already been addressed or adjusted to.
If an athlete has never trained in such a context, the situation is
ripe for excessively-disrupted training.
The best thing would have been for Manny and Floyd to have agreed
on YEAR-ROUND random testing starting in January 2010, then by
November, there'd have been no excuses that either fighter or training
crew had no time to find a way to work through any disruptions.
Unfortunately, the Mayweathers poisoned the proposal, and Pac
placed his pride above all else (including, as usual, common sense
or even a sense of fairness).
