    Mayweather was hitting his woman back then too. He was just being a hypocrite.

      Once Manny actually agrees to "full testing" like he claimed he did, Floyd will take care of business.

        I disagree. Floyd makes a mega-money payday whoever he fights. Whether it be Khan, Martinez, Williams, Berto, Bradley. There's just so much demand to see the guy whether it be on 24/7 or in the ring. And it's not just in the U.S, but in the UK aswell. He has a big following in the UK.

        If Manny was to lose to the weight drained bum named Margarito then he wouldnt take a "battering" at all. I actually think the vast majority of the forum would be rather sad. Ok I obviously wouldn't be but most people would, especially the Fillipino mods. "Chups" and "Kadyo". They would proberbly drown in their own tears. One of which is so obsessed with the roidman that he/she runs the "Pacland Phillipine boxing forum".

          If Pacquiao somehow loses to Margarito, that would be a travesty. But I REALLY don't think that's going to happen. Bob Arum won't let it happen.

            I agree completely! The outcome of a Pac/May fight is too predictable. Everyone says Floyd would win. I have to agree also that people still want to see it.

            Meanwhile, the winner of Williams/Martinez vs Floyd is starting to look good.

              Yup. And he's never going to agree to testing. Why? Because he can make millions fighting the likes of Clottey and Margarito without potentially damaging his drawing power. If he loses to Floyd, he can no longer be regarded as the best p4p fighter in the world. And without a cutoff date, I think Manny is a little too unsure of himself. And besides all that, I think Floyd would dissect him with or without PEDs. Floyd's style is just all wrong for Pacquiao. And I like Pacquiao. I just have a feeling it would be Morales 1 all over again, except MUCH WORSE. Floyd has far too much technical savvy. Manny will not be able to find him enough to cause any problems, and Floyd will counter his block off, just like Marquez and Morales did. We've seen it time and time again: You can't just walk right into Floyd Mayweather. It just doesn't work. You've got to have a plan A, B, and C if necessary. I just don't think Manny has the boxing intelligence to beat Floyd Mayweather. He's got all the physical tools, no doubt. But than again, so did a lot of other fighters.
              That's a good point. "He has the physical tools" but that only takes you so far. And with the ""random"" testing he wouldnt have the same physical tools. The point about boxing skill is right. Pacquiao can beat skilled but limited fighters who were just KO'd because his workrate just overwhelms them. Workrate means nothing if you can't get to the guy and he's hitting you at will. As many of Mayweather's opponents have found out.

              I think Roach knows his workrate wouldnt be the same with full ""random"" testing. And he also knows Pacquiao has virtually no chance to beat Mayweather in a fair fight. So they are playing hard-ball on the drug testing but Floyd is not going to back down. He's just too smart.

                Well sure he still stands to make millions, just not at the level of a Pac-May bout.

                If Manny loses, Pac fans won't hear the end of it for a good while. Mainly due to Manny's choice of opponent, and the peculiar circumstances surrounding the bout . The vast majority believe Margo is easy pickins'. The few who believe otherwise are hoping Margo doesn't believe it himself.

                  im just saying it be big if he did that. and noone would expect manny to do that just like noone would expect floyd to jump in the ring ala mosley

                  and i agree that arum is the reason this fight is held up but since margirito is done and manny getting older its perfect timing to let them fight and what a way to start it by calling floyd out like marquez

                    Manny's going to win tomorrow. You can honest Arum Guarantee it.

                    Floyd will steal that thunder as soon as he comes out from vacation to fight the winner of Williams Martinez. Watch it happen. It's a chess match that Floyd wins every move he makes.

                    Legit boxers involved in the sport as legit challenges and Pac and Co decide to pull known cheater Margs out of oblivion for a vacant title? GTFOH.

                    As soon as Manny gets the belt he won't defend it once. Complete fraud.

                    Manny's last two fights will be JCC Jr and then Floyd.

                    No one wants to see a Cotto rematch and the rest after Floyd stand just as much a chance of giving Manny a huge losing streak. Williams, Martinez, Angulo, Berto, Bradley, Alexander, and even older man Mosely whom they wouldn't rrequire random OST for as they are "content" with current testing procedures which Mosely has beaten before and could juice up while Pac and Co couldn't say **** about it.

                      Haha... You could see that these folks are starting to see that Pac would indeed be easier for their idol. The alternatives are terrifying for them, ie, Williams/Martinez. Well, we'll hear Floyd's announcement as early as December.

                      Realistically, Pac won't be available for a year. So eyes will be focused on Floyd most likely just after the Pac/Marg fight.

                      I'd be LMAO when he announces his next fight. It won't be Pac, I'm sure. LOL. With OST in it, it would be a blast. Wonder what Tygart's excuse next time why he stopped again 19 days before the fight. Haha...

                      Remember peeps, Pac won't be around for a year after this Saturday's fight.
