Comments Thread For: Steward: Mayweather is Scared To Death, Totally Petrified

[SaiZelion]

ok then...so why does he need ost with pac......how come he's the only one too hesitant of fighting pac under commision testing?....lol...
floyd sr. is a human garbage , he is continuisly just trying to destroy pac with his accusations , instaed of making his son get in the ring with pac...pac is a freak of nature and thats what makes him a once in a lifetime kind of fighter...not becuase you cant do it, others cant too.....

not tryin to make you believ pac does'nt feel 100 % after bloodtest,just telling you like it is.....he's laimed that, hwhetre you belive it or not, why would pac risk to fight not feeling 100 %?.....theres a reason why floyd gets called a coward on national tv, and the reasons my friend is right in front of you....

The answer is simple, obviously Mayweather believes he's using some sort of PEDs. Once again, there's nothing wrong with su****ions. That's why we have TESTING to satisfy su****ions. It's like Floyd is su****ious of Manny using PEDs and is just leaving it at that. If that were the case, then yes i'd agree that su****ion alone is a cop out. Also, you know the whole boxing world would jump down Floyd's throat and say "well if you're su****ious of him using something then test him, DON'T JUST WALK AWAY!" That's exactly what Floyd is doing, instead saying "i'm su****ious" and just walk away, Floyd demanding testing to satisfy the su****ions he has of Manny using PEDs.

Now regarding the current testing under the boxing commission; IT'S LAUGHABLE and easy to beat. There are many ways to beat SCHEDULED testing because you know when the tests are coming. IT'S COMMON SENSE. Random testing is the absolute best way.



I have no reason, no believe any "WORDS" that Floyd or Manny has to offer up. This is why we have testing because words don't mean anything. Of course an athlete will say HE IS CLEAN. This is a real world, GROW UP and stop being naive.

Let's flip the coin; Even if Floyd is using the blood testing request as a kop out, it makes Manny look that much worse because if requesting OST up to 7 days is all it takes to keep Manny out of ring against Floyd, that's SAD on Manny's part.

So yes, call Floyd a coward. Obviously, it makes you feel so much better to focus on calling Floyd a coward rather than focusing on the fact that all it takes to keep Manny, your champion, out of the ring against Floyd is RANDOM OLYMPIC STYLE DRUG TESTING.

The sad part about your denial is that, no matter what reasoning, or excuse you offer up.... The whole world witnessed Shane Mosley make an example of what a real champion and competitor would have done- which is walk right through the blood testing and into the ring. PAY DAY FOR SHANE.

Steward has gone on the record as saying that Pac is an All-Time Great along with guys like Muhammed Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson. Read the Nov. 15, 2009 article at 8countnews.com. I think his direct statement on this matter holds a lot more water than your "i got from that quote" argument.

I'm not a Pacquiao fan any more than I am a Mayweather fan, although I think he tends to make for much more exciting fights than Mayweather does. That being said, you guys should really get off the hatred of Pacquiao; it is isn't rational. Many hall of famers have gone on record to say this fight isn't happening because Mayweather is afraid to fight Pacquiao because he is afraid of losing his "0". Foreman, Hagler, and Steward are 3 that come to mind immediately. That isn't to say Mayweather is afraid of Pacquiao--I don't buy that. He just realizes it is far from a "gimme" fight--which is all Haymon lets him take any more.

And, I do agree that the catchweight business is bull****. Don't get me wrong, Pacquiao is a tremendous fighter, but he is really a lightweight fighter. Unlike guys like Henry Armstrong that could go up in weight and fight even the best of the best at the higher weight class (like Sugar Ray Robinson), Pacquiao can't do that. He may claim a title at 154, but he'd get smoked in a fight against Sergio Martinez at 154. Does that taint his legacy? No--it just makes one realize that he has his physical limits just like everybody else. He just isn't Henry Armstrong. Don't just ask me, ask Emanuel Steward; he has the same opinion (Pacquiao an All-Time Great, but not Henry Armstrong).

And, Pacquiao is going to be recognized as a much greater fighter by history than Mayweather UNLESS Mayweather fights and beats him. Mayweather has avoided the best of the best since he's gone above 135. He hasn't fought the best at any weight class at 140 or 147 in the right weight class. He is perceived as ducking Pacquiao. It is his legacy that is in jeopardy, not Pacquiao's. Pacquiao's is already sealed. Second, best fight for Mayweather would be to fight Martinez at 154. That fight won't happen either because Martinez is just too fast and too big for Mayweather. Next best would be Paul Williams at 147. That fight won't happen either because Williams is too big and too active. Are you starting to get the picture as to why Mayweather has an image problem? Mayweather is a real 147 pounder, yet he won't go near the best fighters there. Pacquiao is a real 135 pounder and he may not be fighting the absolute best at 147 and 154, but he's fighting better fighters that Mayweather is and Mayweather won't fight him. Makes you say "hmmmm".

[The Gambler1981]

Floyd has gone on record calling Steward an Uncle Tom so the fact he would talk in such a way about Floyd should really surprise no one~


Did you expect different from Steward? What about when the fight happens and Floyd punks Manny and Steward says "I knew it would go like that all along".

[KASHIF KHAN]

Floyd Mayweather will regret ducking Manny Pacquiao.

why is floyd the only one who cant fight pac under commission testing?

[kingfaze19]

Pacquiao "cherry picks" guys like Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, and Mosley..?? really, what kinda "cherry picking" is that ?? Steward has said he puts Pacquiao in the same class as Ali and any boxing great of ANY era, now this bull**** ?? .....Mayweather doesnt wanna fight Manny, hes made that very clear, hes the ONLY boxer b!tching about drug testing, the guy is drowning in fear

[Cash Cow]

Trainer Emanuel Steward, speaking with Gareth Davies of The Telegraph, gave his opinion on why a fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is not happening. Steward believes Pacquiao's handlers and being very selective with his opponents, and on the other end, Steward says Mayweather is scared to death of losing his undefeated record, which some say is important to him than money.

LMAO@ Steward....what a flip flopper...he said on Max kellermans show this week on ESPN 710 that he thought Mayweather would easily beat Pac because Mayweather is a better boxer and has a very great defense and that Pac would get picked apart.....

[HyperUppercut]

of course there is only a 50/50 chance steward, you dingle berry. either it will or wont happen.

Your post is so filled with misleading information, I don't know where to begin! I do agree that Manny makes more exciting fights- In the eyes of casual fans. I enjoy the sweet science more than I enjoy tons of punches through and plenty taken.

Manny did claim the 154lbs title, and yes, he'd get smoked by Sergio Martinez, but that's that the point. If you want to fight for a title in a given weight division, fight the best in that division (i.e. #1 ranked in that division or title holders- NOT UNRANKED, PREVIOUSLY SUSPENDED opponents). That DOES TAINT his legacy. It's not a realization of his limits, it's a realization that sheds a clear light about the perceived quality of Manny's accomplishments. There was no excuse why he didn't fight the best in the LMW division. Sergio is shorter than Margarito and Sergio could have made weight. Margarito outweighed Manny by 16lbs on fight night, Sergio would have outweighed Manny by 7-8lbs. No excuses.

Mayweather has avoided the best since 135?! Where in the hell have you been living, on MARS? With the exception of Zab Judah, Mayweather has been fighting nothing but LEGITIMATE title holders. After dominating Coralles, who outweighed Mayweather by 10lbs on fight night, he fought a war with Castillo, and then beat him easily in the rematch. Floyd was called out by title holder Gatti. He dominated Gatti. After that, Floyd dominated Baldomir (TITLE HOLDER)- who outweighed Floyd by 13lbs on fight night, who beat Zab Judah for his title. After that, Oscar- TITLE HOLDER (WBC LMW) called him out. Oscar demanded the gloves sizes, ring sizes, and weight limits @ 154lbs- Floyd agreed to them all and beat him. Afterwards, Floyd fought the undefeated, undisputed, still in his prime RICKY HATTON- LEGITIMATE TITLE HOLDER.

Then came out of a 21mo retirement and fought the #2 P4P fighter in the world in Juan Manuel Marquez. Then he beat Shane Mosley who was another LEGITIMATE WelTer WEiGHT CONTENDER who was fresh off 2 KO victories- NO LOSSES.

Title fights, no vacated titles, no catch weight title fights.

Than how come he calls Pac a one dimensional bum, a easy work easy fight.
