Ive said it before and I'll say it again. The Referee is gonna make or break this fight. If he allows it the constant holding from Mayweather as he loves to do especially against a fighter who is aggressive then it's gonna be a long boring fight. If the Ref doesnt allow excessive holding and gives warning for it Pac is gonna be just fine and has a chance to get the knockout as Floyd cant handle a strong pressure fighter unless he holds them as he did with Maidana and Canelo

when did pacquiao and canelo become "strong pressure fighters".

pac doesn't apply pressure, hes in and out, flurries, etc.. he cant just pin floyd on the ropes like maidana did ,he doesn't have the strength and he doesn't have a jab which is what allowed maidana to close the distance.

None of Memo Heredia fighters have ever used VADA or USADA.

Secondly, for sake of argument, let's say Heredia does know how to beat today's random drug tests. It means Heredia knows how to beat the scientists at the UCLA lab. Which means he can also beat a VADA test since both USADA and VADA just take and send samples to the same exact UCLA lab for results.

So again, no one is safe if Heredia indeed knows how to beat any WADA-accredited lab. Means he can basically beat any anti-doping lab around the world. I highly doubt that.

Pascal wanted to use USADA.

Memo spent years conning the world that Marion Jones was great, when she was just Roided to the max.

USADA never caught her. It was only when someone from inside BALCO sent WADA what they were using.

Memo has come on loads since then, he is always 1 step ahead.

If Floyd really cared about cleaning up the sport, and fighters safety, he would have kicked him out of the gym and told Ariza if he is working or fraternising with him he is gone too.

i agree. for me, no excuses. the two best fighters in the world and best fighters of this generation. best man wins. no excuses. ive said that from jump when i was one of the few that believed the fight would be made.

u think its that simple huh? well prepare to be disappointed. its weird, ppl have actually fooled themselves into thinking floyd mayweather is really that easy to beat that all u need is a high workrate and some footspeed. may 3rd is gonna be a very interesting day. quote me on all of this btw.

I never said it would be easy for manny... its not gonna be easy for either guy..

both their strengths highlights the others weakness..


mannys weakness- a great straight counter/lead right hand
Floyd strength- a dominant right hand

Floyd's weakness- work rate and speed when a guy throws 4-5 punches or more
Mannys strength- letting his fast hands go in combination


I just feel that floyd has come this far undefeated, he will eventually slip up, and manny is the one guy capable of of exposing floyd's slippage in age...

When dudes don't respect floyd and let hands go they have success, if you try and not to get countered and fight at a slow pace, floyd eats you alive like he did vs canelo, ghost, etc...

If maidana, zab, oscar, cotto can have success letting hands go, their is no doubt that manny will cause havoc, manny lands in every fight win or lose.. He is the best offensive fighter of this generation... Floyd is the best defensive fighter of this generation (sorry hopkins)
This will be a super close fight ala leonard-hagler

Soooo.... refusing ANY testing is less su****ious, yes?

No.

Having convicted PED dealers in your gym is highly su****ious though. Especially ones that say they can beat the testers.

I agree,,, I will own my manny prediction and log on even if he gets iced in 4...

I have logic and reasoning behind my pick, and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but i won't shy away...

Its gonna be leonard-hagler of this generation... both guys past their primes, but evenly matched and it will be tooth and nail..

the best defender vs the best offensive fighter.... epic matchup

Pacquiao's footwork, speed, combos, flurries and power, is going to be too much from Floyd.

I don't know how Floyd is going to cope.

The only thing he could do is hold and stop the action altogether and hopes he ref lets him get away with it.

Yet you choose to focus on the SPECULATION of Heredia being connected to Mayweather and talk little about the FACT Pacquiao outright refused more stringent testing.
