Are Pac & Floyd Both Hypocrites?

[Gorilla Dog]

In all honesty I can easily understand why Floyd "I dont do catchweights" Mayweather is doing a catchweight in his next fight. Well Saul Alvarez is "too big" at 154+. We all saw the dude come in at 172 in his last fight against Austin Trout. This can still happen but in theory the 152 catchweight may help to limit Alvarez size advantage. Also I feel if bigger guys want to fight clearly smaller guys then deal with the CW or fight someone your own size! Wow what a revelation!

Pacquiao on the other hand spent a good 3 years saying "Let the Commision do their jobs"
He was so adamant about this that he passed on the most lucrative fight in boxing history rather than take drug test outside of Commission standards. So why now is Manny requiring his opponents to take the test? Is he "scared" of Brandon Rios? People called Floyd "scared" for asking Manny to test, didnt they? Is it because you can't ask manny but manny can ask you or does he all of a sudden know what a steroid is?

Catchweight or drug test, whose the bigger hypocrite?

Both are hypocrites if you want to hold them to the word , I suppose everybody is a hypocrite at some point , but lets face it things change with time so I don't think its that important from both guys , Floyd with his CW and Manny with his testing , its seems more important to the fanboys than the fighters or the main stream boxing media .

And seriously how do you have a bigger hypocrite , that's an oxymoron .

Yep. They also screwed us out of a huge fight. Once they realized they could sell big by pretending to fight each other, there was no way this fight was being made until far past its due date. I blame everybody involved.

And who does that benefit more than anyone else? Bob Arum, it is to his benefit that Manny at the end of his career has a "cash out" fight, that Top Rank has a cash out fight. Lets look at Pac's history, Marquez 4x and Arum wants a 5th, Morales 3x, Barrera 2x, Bradley (possible rematch) tried to fight Cotto again, why didn't you beat him already? Meanwhile Floyd has rematched no one since Castillo. That tells me Floyd would fight Manny and that he see's him as just another opponent. Manny wants to have a World Series with the same opponents over and over again hopefully saving the biggest one for last...aka the cash out fight.

You tell me, where does Manny have the time to fight Marquez 5 times but can't sign a deal to fight Floyd once? Not even for 50/50 during one negotiation and 40 million another?

Yup, just like everyone else on the planet. It's called being human.

Why are people still acusing manny of PED's? I mean is it guilty untill proven innocent? Floyd was the first guy to come up with this story. Floyd is nothing but a hatter! Its sad how people believe this idiot. Come on guys wake up! Why cant it be possible that Manny is that good? Floyd has always been jealious of Oscar and now he is jealious of Manny!

Of course. Only a fanboy would say different, they were hypocrites far before the recent events too.

Manny "I only fight for honour and fans" Pacquiao crying about 2% of the PPV fight with Hatton and nearly walking.

Floyd "I fight for me not the fans" Thanks the fans in his speeches and cries when they say something mean

[FrankieClutch]

I think ever human being is a hypocrite. We are all walking contradictions.

You've only just now figured that out?? Wow. The last cash cow to deliver was DLH, win lose or draw, he fought almost allcomers. As soon as both took his mantle, they cherrypicked, lied and bamboozled their way unto atg status.
