[Sugar Q]

Are you serious? So Shane saying that he's doing Floyd's dirty work is not selling out? Shane just got his a$$ handed to him by Floyd and now he's doing Floyd's dirty work? And then you got Naz saying floyd is scared of Pac. GTFOH them boys sold out period. And as far as he acts as a person that's just his persona Money Mayweather none of you guys know Floyd in real life so I don't wanna hear about that ****. He's the cash cow of boxing so obviously he's doing something right. But all we ever hear about is Floyd's legal troubles. Who gives a flying ****!! Floyd is a boxer so that's how I look at him is a boxer and he's one of the best to ever do it. You kids need to stop looking for role models.

Handle them Tweez!!! That's real talk all day. Bro Naaz is full of ****. He speaks more highly of Pac than he does of Shane. If Shane loses this fight it's a rap for his dumb ass. If he knows better he would bring his dad into camp with him cause he wasn't tiring after a few rounds with his dad in his corner.
Naaz knows damn well Pac wouldn't go near Shane before PBF smashed that ass.

I like Naazim because to alot of degree, he keeps it official but been noticing since he had to match up against Floyd or speak on him, he has been throwing a lil dirt his way but hey, that's boxing. I don't expect Naazim to take any sides because for one. Floyd pissed Naazim off and beat Shane already. Two, Naazim is about to have his fighter get it on with Pac and there is no way that he is going to throw dirt on Manny or even touch the blood tests issues. I remember Shane saying that he suspected that Pac was on something because he didn't want to take the tests, when Shane was scheduled to fight Mayweather. there is a chance that Naazim feels the same but who knows for sure. For a guy who caught Tito trying to put extra gauge on his hands against Bernard and the illegal substance Margarito had in his wraps before getting in the ring with Mosley. I would think he would be more vocal about the blood tests issue but Naazim is a guy who has to catch you in the act to speak on it, which is right and exact. I've been thinking about it and in my opinion, Margarito first time was using the wraps against Shane because it is already a known fact that Margarito had problems in camp making weight and wasn't at his best, so maybe his trainer felt they needed an edge. Anyway, ain't trying to go down that lane. Shane and Pac are fighting and lets just hope that Naaz and Shane talks about it being competitive hold some weight come fight night.

****m Richardson: Well, let's just say that there's always a bully in the neighborhood, but there's always going to be a guy that he's afraid of.

If he doesn't fight that dude, then somebody else fights that dude, and then, the bully beats that guy. They can say, 'Well, you know what would have happened if I would have fought that dude.'

BoxingScene.com: Do you buy the assertion by Bernard Hopkins that 'When Shane Mosley wins, everybody is going to say that Floyd Mayweather would have beaten Manny.'

****m Richardson: Everybody's going to assume, but then, I'll say, 'Let's go back to the records.' When you saw Miguel Cotto beat Shane, and then you saw Antonio Margarito beat Miguel Cotto, then everybody thought Antonio Margarito was going to beat Shane.

But then you saw what happened. Now, you saw Vernon Forrest beat Shane, and you saw Ricardo Mayorga beat Vernon, and then, everybody thought Mayorga was going to beat Shane, but you saw that Shane knocked out Mayorga.

So we've seen it a hundred times in boxing, and we're going to see it more. You're going to see Andre Berto struggle with Juan Urango, and then, you're going to see Devon Alexander go in there and crank Urango out of there.

Not just beat him, but crank him out of there. Does that mean that Devon Alexander can beat Andre Berto automatically? There's a question, but that's why we fight the fights. So, that's just boxing.

damn, naz just exposed ***** apologetics in this interview

[MindBat]

If Shane beats Pacquiao everybody will assume Floyd would've beaten Pacquiao.

It'll depend on how bad Manny loses. Which the majority doesn't expect will happen anyway.

REAL TALK Naz is always trying to **** on Floyd. Look Naz Floyd gave you a shot when team pac wouldn't give you guys the time of day. When everybody said Floyd was scared of Mosley and Floyd ran right through him. Now Naz is implying that Floyd is scared of Pac. I understand his triangle theories but it doesn't really apply. If we all know that margs used illegal wraps against Cotto then why even bring up that fight? Cotto was clearly outboxing Margs and would of got an easy UD win if it wasn't for the bricks. Bottom line Shane and Naz have sold out. Choosing to **** on a fellow African American for a couple of bucks knowing damn well Floyd schools Manny. I haven't seen any Pinoys take Floyd's side so why are the sell out African Americans doin it? This is the problem with our race no unity. And as a black man I can say that.

LMAO at the utter ******ity of that post!!!!! Naseem is a man of priciple and is one of the most respected figures in all of boxing. Just because he tells it like it is and ur ass can't it, that doesn't make him a "sell out".

I'm of Arab decent, by ur logic I should be defending every dumb ass thing Arabs and ******s do just because we have the same skin color. Floyd is what he is and everyone who's objective can see right though his big bag of bull****, don't cry every time someone simply points it out. Just cause floyds "black" that don't mean we're all gonna buy his **** sandwich and believe it's tuna, sorry.

[Check_hooks]

Naz is completely right as usual. Its a straight up b*tch move to accuse someone of something without proof. Floyd and *****s are so insecure about their abilities they have to make false accusations about other people. That is against the law. That is libel, slander and defamation. There is a case pending and they will lose and pay heavily.

And race has nothing to do with it. Real recognize real regardless of color. Naz said it best when he said if you dont like Manny Pacquiao, you don't like boxing.

Well said Mr. Richardson.

On a side note, the interviewer made it obvious that he spends too much time on the boards here when he remarked that Shane was "exposed" by Floyd. Exposed as what? Idiotic use of the word and doesn't help to elevate the quality of discussion here at all. I'd have expected better from a "journalist".

[GRUSTLER]

Listen everybody. This Floyd/Pac debate has to be put to rest because honestly, I am seeing too many of the same people talking about this topic and basically beating a dead horse. I used to be in the Pac/Floyd blood tests wars on here but to me, it has gotten old and overdrawn big time. I am not even going to entertain talking about that beef between the two camps about the random testing because the fight is not happening before May. My only thing is, will Manny get more props IF he beats Mosley, then Floyd did when he beat Mosley Because to my recollection, Shane was considered old and gassed after 3 rds when Floyd fought him and was kicked under the bus after Mora.

Floyd fought Shane when Pac didn't want to. My point is this. Should Manny get the full props from his fans,when they couldn't give it to Floyd? Floyd did whup Mosley pretty good and shut him down. If Pac loses, what does his fans say about it? Do they make excuses for Pac or just man up and give Shane his props? There are alot of aspects of this, that I think both Floyd and Pac fans are not getting and the one main thing is that Bob Arum has already revealed that he doesn't want to make business with anyone else unless there under his umbrella in some kind of way. To me, that looks like more of an Arum thing, than a Pac and Floyd thing. It's just getting a lil too much to keep seeing the same guys posting and disrespecting each other instead of being open minded and logical about boxing and the whole situation at hand. It kind of reminds me in school as a kid when we would argue and say "my brother will beat your brother" or "your dad is scared of my dad" but never coming up with a solid agrument to prove those accusation but rather because each stand behind their man out of loyalty. I'm done and sorry to write so much and am sure I may get cursed out for giving my honest opinion but who cares. I'm over it. Lets talk about boxing.

[LeadUppercut]

Trainer Naazim Richardson spoke to BoxingScene.com regarding his role in the corner of three-division, five-time champion, Shane Mosley, during his quest to dethrone eight-division king Manny Pacquiao as WBO welterweight titlist on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
