    Okay well you said he was 5'5" which is a bit off.I guess you could take away the 1/2 inch and say pac is 5'6".

        Pac will also regret not facing Mayweather.

        This is why they need to fight, to settle this crap and find out who would really win.

        If they dont fight, they will both look back decades from now and regret whatever part they had in not making the fight. They will wonder what if, or I could have beat him but.............

        They will have successfully put a negative spot on both their legacies and that ****ing sucks. They will both regret it big time.

        Some people will think that Floyd was scared of Pac and some people will think that Pac was afraid of Floyd and then you'll never hear the end of the "random" testing for PEDS argument.

        That **** blows, they need to ****ing fight already. Both of them need to stop acting like b!tches.

        This blows!

            bottom line - it takes manny two-three fights to make what floyd made saturday.

            42-0 will always go down in history as 42-0

              Nobody can dispute the fact that Manny wants absolutely no part of Martinez. I say that to say Roach is dead wrong about Floyd needing Manny cause all Floyd has to do is fight Martinez and he will go down as undeniably one of the greatest fighters of all time. I would have to put him in the Top 5 easily. Martinez is the Mount Everest for Floyd not Manny. Manny is a lot of hype that would go away immediately after Floyd destroys him. Martinez would be Floyd's Hagler. Then history will note that Floyd came up from 130. He's already great but that would surely cement his greatness.

                  Have an Open mind

                  People kill me. If Manny really wanted the fight all he had to do is take the tests, it is that simple. You can't use the excuse we are not going to give into Mayweather's demands, when he agreed to all of yours. But people do not see that, they only see it from the perspective that floyd is using this as excuse. Look at what was going on at the time, with the rampant PED's being used in other sports, that were finally brought to light years after the person had competed. You have even have boxers use them (Shane Mosley) and get away with it. Knowing this put yourself in the man's shoes if you can afford it, why wouldn't you want to make sure everything is on the up and up. No one wants to end up an old man who can't remember or do anything. All I ask is take everything into account, not just what you want to see. Look at all sides. Now if Pacquio agrees to take the tests and Floyd doesn't fight him, then you can say he is scared. Also, in the beginng of the negotiations Floyd was ok with a cut off, it was not until Manny gave that BS about being scared of needles, then the video surfaced of him giving blood, did Floyd say heck no. When negotiating there has to be some give and take, but there was no give on Manny's side, if Floyd was some bum who needed him, then he could get away with it, but Floyd makes on average 40 mil, fighting bums as some like to call them.

                  To all you people who say Floyd didn't fight the best. He called out everyone when he was younger, but no one wanted to fight him, notice how Arum hasn't come out and denied his claim about him keeping Cotto from him. Everyone knows how Arum loves calling Mayweather out, so why not rebuttal?

                    Roach Is 110% Right!

                    This is why Mayweather has become more of a **** now than ever before in his career. Because everywhere he goes NOW, everyone is putting it on him why he's afraid to fight Pacquiao and he can't take it. Floyd is all about the money now. He's not about fighting the best of the beat, in their prime, or he would have fought Mosley in his prime, and he would fought Pacquiao, Khan, and Maidana by now. He would have gone up one weight class and called out Sergio Martinez by now. He would have gone up and called out Bernard Hopkins by now, like Leonard did fighting Hagler. The problem for Floyd is one day all tour money will be gone ( sooner than later). Then what... "you weren't that great Floyd. You avoided Pacquiao you're entire career". That's your future Floyd.

                      No, what I said was maybe If Pacquiao was 5'7 he'd have more of a chance but he is CLOSER to 5'5 which is FACT...
