It seems to me that *****s have no idea what OST is, it is drug testing in and out of competition.
I bet you Floyd is not doing any drug testing now is he? if not, he doesnt believe in OST, it is just ducking plain and simple.
In other words: No Protests about OST's during and after the Floyd-Shane fight.
Yet only Pacman fans HOPE the OST's get rejected by the commissions so that Manny doesn't have to take it.
You guys reveal your true colors daily. It's fascinating to watch.

It isn't about age though the phraseology used is "waiting for Pacquiao to age"...the more apt phraseology should be:
• waiting for Pacquiao to slow down
What's the difference?
Mayweather's style is aggressive defense. Meaning even if he is up there with lots of mileage, age and then some - he can last because he is relatively unscathed. He is healthy and untouched (a big credit to his cerebral style as well as his physical style).
Pacquiao's style is gung-ho-aggressive-style that is unnatural. (Not suggestin drugs) But the regiments he has to go through, the tedious and rigorous training, the amount of calories and proteins he has to consume and simply, his physical style of full-throttle that needs to dish out piston-like combinations...would simply wear Pacquiao out very soon.
I can see him already in a decline fast. And as a Pacquiao fan, it is saddening to see it.
Sure he is a freak and an awesome physical specimen but his body is also breaking down. And with the financial successes, political responsibilities AND the crowns he has collected all these time...you can really hear him saying that he is satisfied.
The body and emotion now on the brink of saying "I will retire"...and sure enough he doesn't need to tell us.
Mayweather is older but albeit a well-honed and maintained machine of a fighter (physically) and waiting for Pacquiao to "age" has nothing to do with the literal age.Last edited by fabie; 12-07-2010, 12:59 PM.

Originally posted by GRUSTLER View PostYou Pac fans are truly a work of art. Manny had 3 fights at WW
with one being a catchweight fight. Floyd fought Shane Mosley
and became the #1 WW in one fight while Pac had 3. How is Manny
fighting the best? An old man? Mosley is the same old man that
Roach said was too good to fight Manny after Margarito. Mosley
was looking for a fight and Pac looked passed him. A smaller man?
Hmmm... That smaller man took Pac to hell and back 2x, while Floyd
toyed with him. Pac won't even go down and fight JMM and he
definitely can make the weight. Pac has official been revelaed
as a hype job. Just to back up my claims below are some quotes
that may or may not interst you......
Pacquiao is a hype machine. Boxing analyst considered Mosley
a threat to Floyd even at 38 and Pac ducked Shane who was
definitely the man to beat at 147. Now Pac wants to fight him
after two losses?
Here is how Dougie Fischer responded to a fan writing in, in regards to being critical of Pac.
"You claim that Pacquiao avoided certain fighters (Margarito after he beat Cotto and Mosley after he beat Margz) but I think you’re forgetting the dates of those fights and the weights that Manny fought at around those months.
Margarito fought Cotto in July of 2008. Mayweather was welterweight champ at the time. He was the guy who needed to call out the winner of that showdown of the Nos. 1 and 2 welterweight contenders, not Pacquiao, who had JUST stepped up from the 130-pound division to claim a lightweight belt by beating up David Diaz one month prior to Cotto-Margarito. (Go look it up on Boxrec.com if your memory needs more jogging.) Why would you expect a guy who just won a lightweight title to call out the winner of a high-profile welterweight bout?
Mosley destroyed Margarito in January of 2009, just ONE MONTH after Pacquiao shocked most of the boxing world by beating up on De La Hoya. Pacquiao jumped from 134½ pounds to weighing in at 142 pounds to fight De La Hoya in a welterweight bout. Why would you expect a guy who just had his first welterweight bout (and who barely weighed above the junior welterweight limit for it) to call out Mosley after the veteran knocked out Margarito? Nobody even viewed the De La Hoya fight as a legit welterweight bout because of faded star’s wilted “condition” as you pointed out.
The truth is, the jury was still out on whether Pacquiao could really hang at 147 pounds until his fight with Cotto. You can criticize Pacquiao for fighting Clottey but the Ghanaian was a top-5 contender at the time, and he’d never been decisively beaten until the Filipino hero smacked him around for 12 rounds.
You can definitely criticize him for fighting Margarito, but in the aftermath of the failed Mayweather negotiations, who would you have preferred him to fight? Margarito was undeserving but his size, controversy and Mexican heritage helped sell the event."Last edited by switchsouthpaw; 12-07-2010, 12:59 PM.
