Im a HUGE Floyd fan (as you all know) but I am starting to question his heart....

[_I Am_]

What is the current Pacquaio? The one that Floyd thinks is on PED's? Why should he fight a man who he thinks is on PED's? I wouldnt.

I wouldnt either bro, but what brought up the su****ion? That Manny looked remarkably good in his current fights?

I think Pac is on PEDs, but just the whole attitude towards the things makes me wonder what is going through Floyd's head...

Could Floyd be thinking "Damn, is this guy really this good?"

Or does Floyd know something and has some legs for this accusation to stand on?

I just dont know....

Two occasions? According to Floyd's team there were no negotiations second time around.

My bad. Arum lied about there being a second attempt at negotiations.

I stand corrected.

Dont be naive, you and everybody else knows that if Pac had agreed to random testing then we would have a fight.Also Cotto doesnt need to clear up anything, he was in against a man that cheated, not once but possibly twice with Pacquiao. Id get far away as I can from Top Rank if I was Cotto.

you would be naive to think floyd would have signed the contract back in march if pacquiao agreed to all his demands. if he won't fight now why would he fight then? it was a bluff to make pac look bad and now that pac has called his bluff he's on vacation.

HE'S on VACATION for X's sake, is that hard to accept?

[ballgamessuck]

I mean, he is out here being slandered and his name is being dragged through the mud.....

The same way that I feel about Cotto not wanting to fight Margs again, and not wanting to clear all doubts about whether or not Margs cheated against him..... This is the same way I am starting to feel about Floyd.....

I have his career dvd set, watched Floyd fights for hours upon hours, and have been a fan since the beginning.... HE is my favorite current fighter and one of my top three of all (Roy Jones Jr, Bernard Hopkins, and Floyd).....

I just can not fathom somebody talking about you, slandering you, totally undermining any and everything you have worked so hard to achieve in the sport, and you not doing anything about it.....

I dont know what to think about this.... Is he scared? Is he doubting himself? Is he really that complacent with where he has been and where he is in the sport?

The bad thing is, I think the later that he waits to fight Manny, the worse it is on Floyd himself.... He speed, reflexes, and timing will erode before Manny's speed and power erode....

I just dont know what to think of this entire Floyd vs Manny episode that is and has been happening for whats seems like forever.....

I used to pull for Floyd as well, but no longer do based on the fact that over the last five years he has rarely fought the top opposition, the exception being DLH at 154. Hatton was moving up to a weight class he had struggled at before, Judah was coming off a terrible upset, JMM was out of his league in both weight and class, Baldomir was a sitting duck, on and on. Floyd has the talent to beat anyone up to and including 154, just not the heart to face them. Wasted career.

Nobody brings up the email that was sent from Pac's camp about quieting the situation if he had a positive test. Why is that never talked about anymore? It was reported by a journalist from NY Times. He aint lying. Id say indeed Floyd knows more than any of us about the situation and there is a reason why he wont go on unless random testing is used.

The man said...if there is no random testing there is no fight. He stuck to his guns and he is mentally strong enough to not let what people say get to him....I admire that.....If you watch Floyd fights as much as you say then you see that he is never scared of his opponents....he is willing to fight dudes with big punching power....even against Castillo he wasn't panicking or getting nervous he stayed in the pocket and fought.....Don't get caught up by what media says....you know better you seen the guy his whole career

Lol wasted career? Show me another fighter who has gone up 5 classes and faced the best opposition possible in those classes, you wont find one, yet you single out Floyd.

it was completely made up. he had no sources and is a known *****. he was exposed as a liar.
