Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather: I Know Pacquiao Has Something in Him!

[Carpe Diem]

Roach said that to a Pinoy writer I believe. Here is the link. But Roach said that he will insist on a drug test, since Mosley has used in the past. But why would he insist on a drug test, when the commission already does testing? Roach went on to recant these statements, but the writer came back and confirmed what Roach said in the link below.

The writer is a liar. He was just looking for his 15 seconds of fame.

Thus guy is a moron. He just wants the spotlight off Mayweather who injects ped into his fists before every fight.

Totally agree, mate.

maybe not marquez as much as the others but morales took a beating bro.

Did you see morales face in the rematch... He was unrecognizable.

Here's a couple of points regarding this article:

1) The reason Pacquiao lost and/or got KO'd back when he was 106 lbs is because he took fights that he shouldn't have fought or wasn't prepared for to just to make ends meat (remember he was broke and living on the streets). Pacquiao not only had no amateur experience, he was also not surrounded by good fighters in his own family (Floyd Jr. was around his father, Roger and Jeff while growing up). Roger trying to use that as an explanation means absolutely nothing since Pacquiao is a complete fighter today...

2) This is a flat out accusation by Roger and this is why he is being sued for slander. Floyd Sr. continued to state "it is only our opinion" but not once did Roger say he thinks or in my opinion, etc. He stated it as fact and they will lose their a$$ in court on this one. Nothing Pacquiao has done is unheard of in boxing. Tommy Hearns fought at 147 lbs at the beginning his boxing career and won the IBF cruiserweight title at 189 lbs! Roy Jones fought Ricky Stackhouse at 154 lbs early on and then won a heavyweight belt at 193 lbs. So, going from 106 to 144 pounds (38 lb difference) is less than Tommy Hearns difference (42 lb difference) and Roy Jones Jr difference (39 lbs). According to Roger's logic, anyone who moves up in weight and succeeds is on PEDs, so both Roy Jones and Tommy Hearns were juicing, right?

And when he says Floyd Jr won't lose to Pacquiao, that's true if he continues to refuse to fight him. Also, there are no random tests for the Shane Mosley vs. Pacquiao fight, so he is wrong about that as well...

All in all, it's jealously and nothing else. And it's got to kill the Mayweather's that it's Manny who has the Nike contract and the Pechanga commercial endorsement and not Pretty Boy. If Floyd Jr wasn't such an ass (as my wife put it), he could be there too.

Good points bro, I was about to say that about Hearns...moving up and succeeding is not unheard of.

Pac to blood dope if he has to give blood every day leading up to the fight. These are two substances that would explain Pac's unwillingness to test up to the day of the fight. Interestingly enough there was an article posted on boxingscene that stated during negotiations Pac's camp requested Mosely take the same testing to fight Pac that he did for the Mayweather fight. Mosely said no problem as long as Pac takes the same testing, The request was taking off the table??????

All that maybe true but it's not concrete proof! It's just a tactic to discredit his accomplishments and jealousy and nothing else. Also the difference is Mosley has been found guilty and admitted it, Pacquiao has not been found guilty of anything and has done nothing to say he has? Has he beat his woman, poked a security guard or shown any kind of rage at anyone, even after Floyd Jr's racist rant. No, he has not! The actions of Floyd Jr are indicative of roids more than Pacman...

[flint]

giving a blood test before the fight does'nt make you weak.its not being able to juice up and having to take a blood test is what makes you weak.if they find out that something is in pacquiao's system.his whole career is erase.emanuel steward already accused pac of in house cherry picking.

Good points bro, I was about to say that about Hearns...moving up and succeeding is not unheard of.

At least there are some people on here who understand boxing! Some boxers are naturally gifted (Floyd Jr, Roy Jones Jr, etc), some guys need to work hard at it to be decent or even good fighters (Micky Ward, John Duddy, etc) and some guys just have the body and metabolism that enables them to move up in weight and be successful and do things most people cannot. That is human nature and is fall in all things...
