    Pac did all mandatory testing. No body had heard of a fighter demanding his own testing until mayweather. Pac was good not to submit to floyds bs

      Tyson made Holyfield take more advanced testing and Bowe made Golota.

        Floyd is supposed to be the best, and people so badly wanted the fight and then Floyd demands testing which isn't going to go down well is it, asking a smaller fighter to take tests when Floyd hadn't asked anyone else to!

        I suppose he didn't need to ask the big man DLH to, as DLH was old and didn't look too great

          Nobody would have cared about the testing if Pacquiao had agreed. It only blew up because he declined. Mayweather is a few lbs bigger than Pac at most on fight night. Don't let those official weights fool you. He weighed well into the 140s on fight night at 130.

            It was a great performance by a great little fighter. I think Pacquiao will give the fans another great fight this April.

                  At that time Floyd would have had some serious problems with him. Not just the power but with the activity. Pac would have come out in each round like he was shot out of a cannon and Floyd would have had a problem winning rounds due to Pac's activity.
                  The sheer volume of punches that Pac was throwing in each round at that time is why it would have been such an intriguing match up.
                  Now its not a fight I even want to see. The biggest shame would be them fighting in their late 30's when we could have had the fight when they were both in the physical prime of their careers.

                    Firepower was the fight billing. After that I had no doubt no one touches Pac in a toe to toe fight.

                      According to who? He was 170lbs, Angulo was 174.
