    Wow. You actually think catchweight title fights are a good thing? I find that very bizzarre. Floyd has always fought champions at the official weight classes so I don't think he would demand a catchweight. I see Martinez winning and if he does that would be a great fight because Martinez can control distance and has speed and power. It would be interesting to see how Mayweather would adapt to his style.

    Williams I think would be a mismatch. Floyd would run him over. People say the height/reach might be effective but I disagree because a guy named Phillip Ndou who was something like 31-1 with 30 knockouts, had huge size advantages over Floyd and got completely wrecked. Williams doesnt have the technique or tactical intelligence to be competitive.

He will agree to a cut-off point but Floyd is too smart to agree to that. After all, the whole point of the random testing is that you don't know when they will do the tests. A cut-off point means you will know when you will be tested. So it's useless.

        I think Floyd's next fight will be sometime early next year.
        I think Manny is between a rock and a hard place and will agree to full no cut of testing , the public pressure will be too much and will not let up just get worse , his career if he decides to retire rather than take the test and fight Floyd will always be questioned about why walk away on the biggest fight in history because he dont want a test and is trying to water down the test thats designed to stop cheating , Mannys legacy will suffer a big hit with that hanging over it , it will be brought up forever .

        Floyd vs Manny will be next .

            Judging from your previous posts and displays of affection for Pacquiao I thought you were serious. And if Carlos Quintana can defeat Paul Williams I have no doubt the greatest boxer of this era can do the same.

              You make a good point but I don't see it. Pacquiao has been talking about retirement and saying things like "If I don't fight Floyd then no problem". I really don't think he cares. He would like to fight Floyd but not without a cut-off point. I really believe that Pacquiao knows that without whatever he is taking he would have no chance. This is why he has said alot to try and annoy Floyd because he wants Floyd to say "Whatever, I'll fight you without the tests". But that's not going to happen because Floyd is too smart.

              Going back to the point earlier most Pacquiao fans don't care about the drug testing situation. He's still seen as a national hero. I believe if he was caught then his legacy would be ruined forever but nobody can prove anything until he takes the tests. He can just say "I passed every test I took" and loads of people will still back him because there is no concrete proof. Even though his behavior is highly suspiscious.

                Yeah I realized that I was falling into the Pacman trap of smoke & mirrors!!But on a different note,the Punisher had a bad night,what happened the second time around,yeah,that's what i though!!Floyd has never fought a fighter like the Punisher!!Too much size &pressure & stamina,feel free to tell me who Floyd beat to make such an assumption,I'll wait!!

                  Thats the bit that Im not sure about , is he really on something or not , I think the answer lay with does he take the test or not , I personally find it very hard to imagine him walking away if he is really clean , but if he is dirty I think he most definetly will not take it , theres my rock and a hard place I spoke off ,, after this fight its going to be real interesting how it pans out .

                    Floyd is not a power fighter he is a ring general he turns a fighters strenghs against themselves like a rubber man , I like Williams and have nothing bad to say about him but I doubt very much he could handle Floyds precision , its another level .

                      I really think he is, I have watched alot of videos about it. One which stood out compared how Pacquiao was performing before Alex Ariza came and how he performed after he came. And I don't buy the idea that Ariza is great at what he does because he was doing Diego Corrales cardio and training for the fight with Mayweather and Diego looked terrible.

                      Pacquiao struggled like mad in his fights with Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales the first time. And now all of a sudden he is knocking around guys who are much bigger than him with ease, throwing 100 punches per round and not even breathing. That coupled with his behavior with regards to OSDT, I just find it incredibly hard to believe that it has been done naturally. I don't buy it.

                      I think that's why he is and will continue to refuse OSDT without a cutoff. He would either have to not take anything at all (which I feel would leave him with no chance) or try and get it in and out very quickly. And that would be very risky because if it didnt work, his career and legacy would be exposed as a fraud. I just don't see him putting himself in that position. Regardless of how much pressure people try and put on him.
