Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr. is Annoyed With Pacquiao Critcs

[IMDAZED]

I actually thought Oscar would be too big for Manny so not
trying to act like it wasn't so BUT if he took on a bigger Oscar
at 147. Why couldn't he fight Cotto at 147? I think Floyd
is going to have to call Manny on his bluff and just accept
the 7 days and make the fight. One of these guys have to
do it because as of right now. It looks like neither wants
the fight.

I don't see that happening. I remember Victor Conte saying that he spoke to Floyd after the first negotiations went to mediation and he told Floyd that anything past 3-5 days was asking the other guy to cheat.

I think Cotto was more of an option for Pacquiao than Mosley
was because Top Rank wanted it that way. Mosley was coming
off and impressive win and Cotto struggled pass Clottey. A Mosley
win at that time would have been a bigger achievment for Manny
at the time because everyone already said Cotto wasn't the same a
fter Margarito. To be more specific. Roach said it himself about
Cotto while he said Mosley was a bigger threat. You tell me which
fight would have been more meaningful for Pac?

The cotto fight was more meaningful imo. Bigger draw, championship fight and the guy had a win over mosley. That's just me. like I said, I don't think we should fault manny for not fighting mosley because he did fight cotto. Had he fought a matthew hatton or something I could see the outcry for not fighting mosley.

I don't have an issue with Cotto too, who was quite formidable. However, Mosley was, at the time, considered a bigger threat.

Oh ok. Didn't know that. Well, I guess Pacquiao needs to
just accept it and get it on. Show the world that your really
worthy of the P4P thrown Floyd left warm for you to sit in.

Pacquiao will always be under su****ion regardless what his fans think and say as long as runs away from testing.

People will always look back and say Shane Mosley took and passed random drug testing and Manny was scared to get tested for some reason.

So be it.

LOL outside of Floyd fans and the few that hate him for no reason, no one is paying any attention to whether he is on steroids or not. That's just the truth. Manny just hasn't given people any reason for the doubt and it helps that he is universally well loved by the people. Floyd is the only being made look bad, not Manny.

Well, maybe I would have believed it, if Freddie Roach didn't say
Cotto wasn't the same fighter after Margarito and the fight would
have been at 147. I guess we are going to have to disagree about
which fight was more meaningful because Mosley TKO'd Margarito,
who TKO'd Cotto and took Cotto's title from Margarito. Just like
the point I made earlier. Floyd fought one JMM catchweight fight
and Mosley when he came back. Pac fought, Oscar, Cotto
(Catchweight) and Clottey. Floyd had one fight that put him
over Pac at 147 and Pac fought more? Mosley was the one
to beat and the most significant fight for either guy. Mosley
had a terrific win over the so called most feared man who
stomped Cotto out. The only thing that made the Cotto fight
more relevant is that Bob Arum represents both fighters and
kept the fight in house, for money purposes.

I find it very funny that there's a huge problem with Floyd asking for OSDT, but it's okay for Manny's camp to ask for a drug test THE DAY OF the Margarito fight. Margarito's history is what it is, but at the end of the day Pac's camp wanted a test because they speculated that something was in Margarito's beverage. Just like Floyd speculated that Manny is on steroids.

The only way to find out the truth is to take the tests. But Manny Pacquiao's team and his fans are some of the most delusional, one sided idiots I've ever seen in my life. I pray that Floyd not only shuts him out, but leaves him looking like a fool like he did Hatton.

I don't listen to half the things roach says, dude always talking crap. I will say mosley at the time was the bigger threat like someone mentioned. Does that make it more meaningful? Not for pacquiao's career I would say since there was also the cotto option who was legit threat and brought more to the table moneywise. I view it as a similar situation to when floyd fought baldomir instead of tony in terms of side stepping the bigger threat for a fight that still means something and could lead to even more.

Of course Mosley being the bigger threat makes it more meaningful. He was pound for pound #3 (Cotto wasn't even on the list), coming off a dominant victory (Cotto wasn't), was the linear title holder (Cotto had a paper belt), and was ranked #1 at welter.

And they wanted no parts of him.

Margarito was seen on camera like he was about to drink something other than water. Plus he had been caught trying to cheat in the mosley. There is history there. Come on man don't act like its the same as the manny/pbf testing bs.
