Will Pac's Legacy Always Have a Black Cloud?

[ALG United]

I didn't know making a simple request is being a *****?

Last time I checked, Pac made several requests (i.e Weight penalty, ring size, glove size, fighter entrances, drug test cut offs)...

Are you saying your statement applies to Pac also or just Floyd?

IMO, there's nothing wrong with making sure both fighters are clean...

You are lying, Floyd asked FIRST for a bigger ring, a 10 ounce gloves, 60/40 purse split and Floyd insisted that he enter second since he thinks that he is the bigger star between them two. The only thing that Manny requested is the weight penalty, it is understandable since Floyd cheated Marquez with extra two pounds in their match, and since this is a WW fight Floyd only has to weigh in at his comfortable weight of 147lbs and there'll be no problem...

Yes there is nothing wrong with making sure that the fight is fair... But, demanding OST from a man that Floyd considered one-dimensional, no defense, come-forward-face-first, predictable, easy-fight with 5 inches shorter reach and 3 inches shorter in height midget back in March last year, THAT is a bit pushing his weight in, bullying the asian midget i should say...

i dont think so... at the current moment, its not even on mainstreams radar. shane got busted, and STILL gets plenty of adoration... roy had some substance issues, he is STILL considered one of the best... etc... etc....

pac's image (mainstream media), is still VERY good... only hardcore boxing fans and writers are crucifying him for refusing the test and current choices in opponents... when the dust settles, his legacy is cemented... unless something EARTH SHATTERING gets exposed after his retirement... but hey, even lance armstrong is still looked to as a hero.

I'm wondering if Pac's refusal to take the test will ruin what he's accomplished at 135, 140, 145 (catchweight title fight), and 150?

Some people think no matter what Pac does in the future, the question will always be asked, "why did you refuse the test".

Only if he tests positive or becomes unpopular (like Lebron) will his legacy be tatinted.

His catchweight fights and senior tour @ the lower weights have done enough, nevermind his refusal to take the test. Only the huggers respect that mans "8 titles".

I agree 100% Pacman is losing this battle. He needs to step his game up and fight some real opponants, plus stop with the excuses and take the test!
