Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Talks Khan, Steroids, Pacquiao

[WESS]

I agree that there may be flaws in the current system but the commission makes the rules not the fighters. If the commission believes there is an issue change it until then fight on the terms the commission makes not the fighters.

No, not when you can make a contract that fighters can agree too.

Its not like Floyd's asking some random "rule". He's adjusting the rule/standard and requesting a better standard. Its not like its a made up rule. Its an adjustment that the commission should look into funding.

Sooner or later they will have to do something. The sport evolves. People evolve. People like Conte evolve and multiple.

If Pac requested the testing and Floyd made excuse after excuse I would be questioning him. In a sport infected deeply with cheaters, something needs to happen. In pacs case I think its, firing Bob and Koncz. Be his own man. He doesn't need Top Rank.

[LeadUppercut]

man, excuses , excuses...even if our a villain, when you back up **** with actions, people would love you....floyd is just not backing his talk man, he just aint...thats why he gets minimal amount of respect.....he can play the bad guy all he wants, but if he aint backing it up, he will never redeem himself...

Excuses ?

Oh, you mean like these.....

Team Pacquiao's big ol' bag of ridiculous excuses.....

* " I dont like needles "

* " taking my blood the day before the fight will weaken me "

* " I am too proud to take the test "

* " Floyd is not the commission "

* " taking my blood will affect my training, even 23-days from the fight "

* " I feel too disrespected to take the test "

* " he is bigger than me, so it will weaken me, more than him "

* " USADA are corrupt "

Which one did you believe again ?

Ya dumb kid

No he wouldn't dude. What are you talking "backing it up"? Fighting Pac? WTF that wont do shyt. There will be another guy lined up. There will be another fighter out there that Floyd's ducking and is a coward for not fighting. Same shy different rest room.

People will not "love" Floyd no matter what he does. After Pac people will want more until he's beaten. Like I said, even as a fan of his, I wont give him credit for beating Pac. Its an overly hyped fight made by Bob making Pac out to be "THE ONE".

Arum is one man doing alot of talk yet Manny is in there fighting every 4 months and beating guys and respectable guys at that. Thats what makes him in your terms "the one". There are always guys like this in boxing it's been that way throughout the history of the sport, when a fighter fights anyone put in front of him and wins he is loved by most and people want to see him fight. There have been alot of points made about why people want to watch Gayweather fight and to see him lose is the best one, he is a very skilled fighter that rubs fans the wrong way. Ali did the same thing in his day and gained more respect after his retirement than he had while he was fighting I feel the same thing is going to happen with Floyd winning or losing.

he is god of boxing

You like Adam Lambert don't you?

Shut your ****** azz up man haha

Manny beating respectable guys?? He's beating what USED TO BE respectable guys..those guys come in from damaging losses and they come in at a catch weight..he's fighting shells.

How come he didn't fight this well back in the days when JMM gave him those two horrible beatings???

You see with arums perfect match making everything is possible..leftovers,top rank bumms,catch weights,damaged goods...that's all he's fighting and if you don't agree then you're a ****** moron

I'm a firm believer in the sport and how it's been for years and years. It's crap that a fighter can make his own terms without the commission. If the commission changed the rules and said ALL fighters have to do the type of testing Gayweather is asking for then hell I'm all for it until then follow whats been in place for years. It's not like they dont get tested right after the fight and the testing for the most part isnt fool proof if you try to mask something that can be found as well as whats in your system that your trying to mask.

[Reloaded]

Man Gayweather really is demented all of a sudden a fighter who fights 2 times in over 3 years can make up the rules of the sport when there is a commission for that.

There is no logic in what he says, for instance a fighter doesnt get better at 25 well if you get a trainer and learn how to fight proper then actually you do. Not everyone can be blessed with skill some actually have to learn it and grow into being a good boxer. Didnt BHop lose his first fight when he was 23? and not fight again till he was 25? and then went on like a 20 fight win streak? Losing only to RJJ and then going on an 11 year win streak from there? Hmmmm I guess that theory is squashed. Next.........

Man Gayweather think before you speak!! Furthermore if you dont fight but once every other year you cant be considered the best p4p in the world regardless if you have 0 losses. Next..........

Floyd is killing it dude where is your head up you ass , lol amazes me how people grovel around what he says arguing word for word , each with their own spin based on their own world and beliefs ,,, your dead a long time and the man has done real good for himself so far , only a fool cannot see what he has achieved and only a hater will belittle it .

[Porter's Dad]

Poor Floyd, look like he's gonna have to maintain the pretence of cleaning up the sport by having to do testing for every fight. Must be fun having blood taken when you're in camp and trying to make weight.

Oh well, he's only a part-time fighter these days anyway, so he won't have to go through it too many times.

So, you believed good ol' excuse #4, huh ?

You idiot.

Boxing uses weight divisions, did the commission ask for a catch-weight for the Cotto fight?

Did the commission ask for a catch-weight for the Margarito fight?

Did the commission demand a $10mil per-pound penalty for Mayweather?

Did the commission demand 8oz gloves for the Margarito fight?

Smarten up you dumb kid.

The current list of fighters who have publicly agreed to FULL testing in order to make a Mayweather fight.....

* Floyd Mayweather
* Shane Mosley
* Victor Ortiz
* Sergio Martinez
* Paul Williams
* Tim Bradley
* Amir Khan

The current list of fighters who will NOT publicly agree to FULL testing in order to make a Mayweather fight.....

* Manny Pacquiao

The complete list of fighters throughout history who have killed a major fight by publicly refusing FULL random blood testing.....

* Manny Pacquiao



Are you sure that you fully comprehend this situation, or are you just an ignorant nut-hugger?

[switchsouthpaw]

Floyd cleaning up the sport is like Casey Anthony advocating better child care, just sayin.
