Which leads to the question, did Floyd really think Pac was on PEDs?

I mean, he wanted Manny on an even playing field claimed his super human powers stemmed from something illegal. Now that floyd has openly said that their was nothing wrong with the contract and just did not want to fight. Did he really think Pac is on peds or what? There is nothing to worry about now, why not fight? Unless he knew all along that Pac super human powers were from a radio active spider bite.

c'mon man. we all know the PED slander was an excuse for floyd to duck the fight.

Only cowards demand extra testing ****. Real men just fight.

It was his Dad who convinced little Floyd.........Sr. could not believe Pac walked thru his fighter and Cotto easily. Little Floyd accepted it as a great excuse to duck.

Just to be clear...

Floyd didn't state "THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CONTRACT".
He merely didn't mention the contract at all, or anything wrong with it,
when asked about what happened

What he DID touch on were the were the (piss-poor) excuses of:

1. Having just fought 60 days prior (but Pac would've been in NOVEMBER!)
2. His need to indulge in joie de vivre (like fights kept him from clubbing?)
3. His desire to spend time with family (at the clubs, making it rain?)

h.

P.S.: I don't think he seriously thought Pac was on PED's. I think what
started as psy-war degraded into a crutch, as he became increasingly
fearful that Pac would K him TFO if they fought.

How do explain he was willing to take the same exact random testing as Pacquiao? You guys would make more sense if Floyd asked for only Manny to take the test, but you know very well that's not been the case.

Both of them would have to pee and give blood. Not just one.

Floyd has 40 fights where he never asked anyone to do anything.

so, you're gonna have to try again.

That's because he didn't, nor did anyone else, feel the need to request any testing back then.

Arum and Pacquiao could have brought up that same reason BEFORE negotiations started back in '09, but they chose to go along with the request as long as there was a cut-off date.

So, you're gonna have to try again.

Mayweather isn't ******, he knows the rarity of what Pacquiao has done. It's clear that Mayweather is skeptical, or is he? Maybe he knows something we don't. Does this really matter?

Which leads to the question, did Floyd really think Pac was on PEDs?
