Manny Should Just............
Collapse

Cotto was a great fight and I loved the matchup, loved the performance. Will never knock him for fighting Miguel who I thought (beforehand) was a formidable challenge. The other fighters are just tuneups. You act as if Floyd was the only other fighter out there (BTW, he could've fought him instead of Clottey). So to answer your question, what do I want him to do? Fight a perceived threat - something he hasn't done since 2009.No cards are really PPV worthy but that is a whole other topic, all of those fights against Cotto, Clottey, Tony, and now SSM were fine while he is waiting to see if he can get the Floyd fight. What do you want him to do if he can't come to an agreement with Floyd? nothing? just like Floyd?Comment

Still with this ****?
How about Floyd should just... let everyone know if he even wants to fight Manny in the first place (he doesn't) and maybe he or anyone from GBP, HBO, or Haymon can tell the public the reason he's not fighting now or in the Spring is because of Manny refusing OST. All we have is:
"It would be disrespectful to a judge to fight Pacquiao (But it's perfectly acceptable to skip arraignment, and then assault a security guard, and try to run someone off the road in consecutive weeks)" -Schaefer
"It's up to Floyd if the fight happens or not" -De La Hoya
"I have no clue why Floyd turned down the fight" -Ross Greenburg, HBO
" "-Floyd Mayweather Jr.
NO ONE who was involved in the negotiations has even hinted drug testing is the reason Floyd decided to go on 'vacation'. In fact, the only place where the 'issue' even comes up is here with the same 3 posters making up reasons for why their hero is in hiding.
So again, let Floyd make even the slightest indication he wants to see Manny in the ring, and then he can let the world know that OST is the reason he's so silent and not even considering the fight. He had the summer/fall and has now leading up to April to say something.
Something tells me that once Pacquiao-Mosley is announced, U-Stream will be the place to be though

Other than Floyd there is no perceived threat other than fighters who are just immense compared to him and to insist he do that is asking too much of him.Cotto was a great fight and I loved the matchup, loved the performance.

I think that might be a fair statement since I would favor Manny over anyone not named Martinez. Heck, one might make him a favorite over Floyd as well. That said, there are better fighters than the one's he's been choosing. Period. So I'm not supporting him fighting mediocrity after mediocrity on PPV just because he'd probably beat those better than the mediocre ones.Comment

other than floyd there are champions/"perceived threats" who hold belts at 140lbs, 147lbs and 154lbs. none of which is shane mosley...

Mayweather demanding and accusing Pacquiao is a failure in the first place. UNLESS YOU'VE GOT PROOFS OR BASIS FOR YOUR ACCUSATIONS.
Sorry, NO. Good thing Pacquiao didn't relent to it. But despite of it, Pacquiao did agree up to 7 days before the fight (at least compromising). But Pacquiao doesn't need to compromise in the first place.Comment

We had a ton of threads stating that Roach/Manny are liars because they said that they agreed to full testing but 24/7 found that to be untrue (agreed to 7 days not full random testing up to fight night).
You can't have it both ways.
Either
a) Roach/Manny stated it and Floyd fans called them liars or
b) Roach/Manny didn't say it and you called them liars.
The obvious one for me would be "a" or else you would have NO REASON to call them liars. Right?Last edited by ADP02; 12-04-2010, 07:47 PM.Comment
