ESPN First Take discussing Bob Arum's comments.

[deejd]

i remember when skip said that floyd ran in the mosley fight

That was really sad, I remember that as well... said that on the Friday right before Mosley-Pac

[Mr. Invincible]

Skip said that Pac was the fastest fighter he's seen since Leonard not Ali.

Oh ok got it. Didn't watch it or hear it. I thought he was trying to say Ali is somehow faster.

[sapaw]

I get it, your response for every single statement made in favor of Mayweather's position is to say "Floyds is just ducking and lying", when anyone with reading comprehension who clicked on the link I provided, can reasonably see that Floyd,Arum, and Schafer were all in agreement, the paper work was completed, and the only thing left was Manny's signature on the dotted line, hence the flight to the Philippines.

why do I feel less intelligent have to explain that too you.

lol! that link is trash! lol! those are the earlier negotiations and I think drug testing not even brought up there! even the venue! lol! your link dated Dec 2... and here's much latest to that http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...ory?id=4715684

your more ****** that I can think of! loll

Nobody up there seems to know what they're talking about and it's annoying listening to them talk about it. They seem clueless when it comes to boxing, the testing, or either fighter. Skip Bayless "Pretty boy Floyd knows Manny will cut him and knock him out in 3-4 rounds easily". That was enough for me.

He always says that ****.

"Floyd will be cut for the first time in his career"

1. He's been cut before
2. So what if he does?
3. He's an idiot.

[GrandpaBernard]

was uncle tom mark wilbon allowed to speak?

[WARQUEZ]

Skip "Kobe is 5 times better than Jordan" Bayless doesn't know crap about any sport other than football.

He has some of the most funniest and memorable quotes on ESPN though.

was uncle tom mark wilbon allowed to speak?

Oh you mean "I didn't watch the fight but from the highlights he looks like Ali"? Wrong show lol.

[Best in Boxing]

Skip doesn't know anything about boxing. he should never talk about the sport. he's one of those people that have hated floyd for years

[The Nature Boy]

i knew floyd apologists are also wrestlemania fans who prefer watching scripted drama outside of the ring than seeing fights. if they only focus their energy in getting floyd's a55 in the ring with manny the added pressure would have forced mayweather to fight the one-dimensional midget. they blame everyone but floyd who has just retracted his pac is next rhetoric. uncle roger confirmed that pac is not floyd's next fight and it would take couple more tune up fights before floyd takes on the amateurish small man from asia. floyd apologists are back defending their idol's embarrassing demand just to make it look like it's everyone's fault that the fight is not happening. wake up, floyd fanatics. floyd is screwing you. pac will take all the stringent test in the world and mayweather will still find ways to duck the fight.

Why is Manny Pacquiao fighting Marquez a 3rd time at a weight Mayweather already shut him out at, instead of pressing hard for the Floyd fight? Floyd has fought two of the three top ranked WW's in the last 2 years just to try and force a Pacquiao fight, meanwhile your guy is over there fighting un ranked fighters in divisions they don't even compete in.

The drug testing was on the table since day 1 almost three years ago, what are you talking about? Freddie Roach is on video saying it was no problem in Dec 09, then they backtracked sued Floyd and haven't negotiated with Mayweather in good faith since.

[Reloaded]

the extra testing is the real issue , atleast thats what floyd wants the public to believe...then drop it!....if there is something that is bloking your way?..what do you do?...get rid of it, it's that simple...it's even worse that floyd is the one providing that roadblock...just get rid of it...very ****ing simple.....the truth is floyd does'nt want none, thats why he needs that excuse to keep ducking pac

and youre dreaming if you think floyd will fight sergio at mw, floyd lacks balls remember?...is'nt the the best that describes him?...

You cant drop it you idiot , Manny refused it thats all the more reason he MUST be tested because only a cheat would refuse competing in the biggest fight in history because he dont want advanced drug testing , Manny could easy just accept any form of drug testing but he has ***ed with it for 3 yrs , that is so su****ious .
