As a man I would get sick of being called a coward

[MrTambourineMan]

Sticks and Stones may break Floyd's Bones but names will never hurt him.

Floyd himself called himself a Rich Coward - why would others calling him it bother him?

He doesn't want any part of Pacquiao and name calling won't change his mind.

Yeah, but why did Manny turn the fight down? Perhaps he was being asked to concede too much? If Floyd was being unreasonable in his requests, then you can't blame Pacquiao for turning him down.

Am not even going to debate why, but on a personal note no one should turn down a random drug test, I don't care who you are. Especially when you made a demand of $1M for every pound that someone comes in overweight and that was accepted without any issues.

Ray Leonard did thing his own way, he retired and came out when he wanted to, he did worse than Mayweather and that's why he doesn't say much when they ask him about Mayweather apart from he would beat him in they were in the same era. Hagler can say whatever he wants but he was misinformed when he gave an interview regarding Mayweather asking Pac to take a test whilst he wouldn't go through the same test. Like I said in my last post Mayweather doesn't have to worry about career assassination because he isn't considered a "Good guy"...

Remember right before Mayweather went to jail, and he went on that twitter rant??? Once a day he was calling Pacquiao out????

Why could he not done that rant on LIVE tv?

Remember what he said "May 4th is the date"

Well I do agree with that, turning down testing is something I never agreed with, if you have nothing to hide, do it.

Did Manny have any issue with testing for PEDs previously?

Did Floyd have any issue making a contracted weight previously?

[Ray*]

lol, what does that even mean? "Protect Pac career"? Dude is a legend. He can lose every fight from here on out and nothing changes.

Don't get your knickers in a twist, am talking about protecting his career in terms of Pac remaining a good guy... PR wise geesh.

Glad you brought that up. When this whole saga started, Manny refused drug testing. Amongst other things, it gave Mayweather an excuse to draw this whole thing out. By the time Pacquiao gave in to the demands, the damage had been done.

As I said before, I believe both sides are to blame for this clusterfuck; but I believe Floyd bears the greater share of the blame.

I don't give a toss if Pac tested positive for ******* previously or not and I don't give a toss if Mayweather came in 10000 pounds overweight or not, no one should turn down random drug testing, the excuses or why or why not is irrelevant to me.

[CubanGuyNYC]

Well I do agree with that, turning down testing is something I never agreed with, if you have nothing to hide, do it.

Back in those days, Roach was going around saying that Manny was "genuinely afraid of needles." Not impossible, mind you (there are people who suffer from all kinds of phobias many consider crazy), but what are the odds? It all sounded like an excuse.

Each to his own, I held both fighters responsible equally for the whole saga, yes am a Mayweather fan in the ring and a fan of Pacman (more of a Mayweather fan "doe") but that would not stop me from calling it the way I see it. I have zero hate for neither even "doe" I can't stand Arum, but for me this fight should have been made and seal 3 years ago..... No excuses
