Is Mayweather Ducking, Falling Apart or Plotting..? Official Poll!

[IAMBIAZED]

You have failed, don't try again.

ah yes sory and thenk you. I wil try agen after I reads english books.

Well let's also note that you're parallel with Hagler/Pacquiao was incorrect, and the way I explained it was correct. Second, if Mayweather wants to change the rules of boxing and impose those changes on someone ranked above him. It's going to cause delays. I would like it if Pacquiao would agree to full testing, but also admit it's his right not to. All and all, hopefully this can get sorted sooner than later.

There you go. I thought it was kinda dumb to put up a poll avoiding the ONE thing that Mayweather says would make the fight happen. And yes, Manny would rather fight Antonio Margarito, Joshua Clottey or Shane Mosley than take the tests. Maybe your next poll question should be...what's wrong with that picture?

On the flip side it can also be said that Mayweather would rather fight nobody than accept the standard testing that his been in play for years and years. Or at least meet Pacquiao half way considering Pac has already bent quite a bit from what is officially required.

Quite frankly, I'd rather Mayweather sit his a** at home than sell me mediocre fights on PPV, like Manny is doing. All fighters can sit their a** at home if they're going to do that. But let's get back to this "meet halfway" BS. Pacquiao got his wish for glove type, glove size, ring size, weight infraction fee. Mayweather had one request and Pac seems to have a big issue with it (and no one can come up with a valid reason). Maybe that should be your next poll question. How is it that Floyd acquiesced to all of Manny's wants but Manny would rather fight Joshua Clottey than take full testing?

But it's all okay when Manny lied about agreeing to take it randomly. If Manny doesn't support it, it isn't good.

he lied?....and floyd 's this honest person or somthing...lol..the bottomline is, floyd never needed OST in his 40 fights...he only brought it out when he was gonna face pacman..........he knew that pac does'nt feel 100% when they draw blood from him, and this is the exact reason why floyd wants it implemented besides the obviuos that he wanted to tarnish pac's legacy!....

Yeah Floyd lies, Manny lies. And with this issue, it's the latter.

You know they're getting desperate when they're avoiding the 800lb elephant in the room. The muther****er said that if Manny takes full tests, we got the fight. What else is there to think about? How slow are we?

The first poll choice is hilarious. I don't know why you guys use that "he is waiting for Manny to slow down" logic. It doesn't make any sense, considering, Floyd is older and is only getting older by the day and being inactive. Not to mention that he has shown that he has declined a bit.

But, this is NSB, I expect those kind of logic, quite honestly.

Not necassarily. Floyd's skill advantage over Pac will probably last longer than Pac's physical abilities.

To answer the poll i'd say that it's a combination of some of the choices that's motivating mayweather


i do believe that he's not fighting simply for the money
being the world's best boxer means the world to him

floyd knows too much about boxing to actually believe all the stuff coming from his camp about how "awful" manny is

floyd is, in that sense, scared of manny pacquiao



the recent cave-in of his life is probably a combination of him litterally being unemployed (top tier boxers usually dont work when they arent preparing for a fight. historically, some of them have had trouble dealing with the excess time coupled with all that fame and money)
fear of pacquiao beating him
the feeling/idea that he can fight pacquiao whenever he feels decides (but perhaps now manny is proving that he doesnt need him)
and terrible advice from everybody around him.


the dude makes horrible decisions


if he honestly cant function daily without assaulting people he should stay in the gym and at home. somebody has to start looking out for this kid (he's a grown man, but he behaves like a child, so we'll call him kid)

he's going down a road that leads to lengthy prison time



all this being said i'm a massive fan of "pretty boy" floyd mayweather jr the boxer and stylist
he's one of the purest ever

there's nothing but boxing coming from floyd in the ring
dude wastes nothing

he shows flashes of a supremely likable character
he does do a lot in his communities with his money (though not as much with his time now as he's becoming so infamous)


his starpower (perhaps unlike tyson because tyson was a KNOCKOUT puncher) will diminish if he loses his character, which coupled with his record and smile is the reason why he's so big to begin with

going to prison made mike an even more mythical figure
taking time from boxing made ali more iconic and larger than life

floyd being inactive and consequently losing his luster as a likable character is not going to help him

fight building is a product of the time spent without it happening, and of course whatever manny pacquiao (the world's premier athletic talent) does in the meantime


oh and finally, before i have to head off into the legendary traffic pre thanksgiving

the demand of OST by floyd for manny is damning for a clean pacquiao if he loses.

floyd is a defensive fighter and a spoiler
he's not going to get hit flush and allow manny to show his power
if manny loses he's going to have a shadow of doubt cast over all of his victories, even if he's always been a clean fighter (which i believe he is, lets face it, he's great but he's been matched very well)
