Pacquiao you don't really need the fight because you can't win..... you're the underdog for a reason.....

Any pressure fighter with boxing skills can easily beat Floyd if they apply pressure consistantly with volume punches. Floyd doesn't think well when he has to pause, just like in his interviews. Put pressure on him and he will get knocked out. He doesn't have much power, so press forward and outwork him.

Mayweather wants to fight, Pacquiao does not.

Nothing has changed.

This is asnine. The fight terms were agreed to; then, only then, did Mayweather throw out a new term--drug testing. That is one of the oldest tricks in the world in avoidng a fight: changing the terms at the last minute, knowing that after a hard fought negotiating, adding a late term when everything else has been worked out will be a deal breaker.

One of the other famous tricks is to demand too much money (which Floyd also did when an offer came in to hae the fight in the Middle East). Still another famous trick boxers used to avoid fights is to retire. Surprise, surprise, Floyd has used that trick to avoid fighting Pacquiao too. Are you people so blind as to not see what is plane for every other fight fan to see? Mayweather wants nothing to do with this fight.

I don't agree with this. Mayweather has fought plenty of pressure fighters with boxing skills and won. He utterly destroyed Diego Corrales (knocked him down 5 times). He cleanly won the second fight with Castillo, a pure pressure fighter. (I thought he lost the first fight but it was very close). Jesus Chavez was also a pressure style fighter with skills and Mayweather took him out by KO.

Mayweather makes boxing exciting to follow again. It's funny how riled up people get over his comments and how pac fans can't stand the fact that until their idol fights Floyd there will be a question mark hanging above him.

Mayweather makes boxing exciting again until he gets in the ring. Then it is a snoozefest.

He's got to be all about self-promotion. If he didn't make people hate him, he'd be irrelevant to casual boxing fans because his style is boring. Without the casual boxing fan, you can't make any money as a boxer. There is a method to his madness.

Allowng Manny to get away with statements like this is the biggest travesty his fans are committing. It's funny how the onus to fight someone is on the guy who has been a world champion since the '90's and not the guy looking to take his place. As the great Ric Flair used to say...."Too be the man, you have to beat the man!" So yes Manny, you really do need the Mayweather fight.

Pac might as well admit he doesn't want to fight Floyd, and doesn't think he can win.
